Our Pricing
This page shows how our subscription model compares to traditional leases - and helps you make an accurate price comparison between DriveSimple and other van providers.
Van Subscriptions vs Van Leases
Let’s start with a side-by-side comparison of our subscriptions vs typical van leases:
However, you might think you’ve seen the vans we offer advertised at lower prices elsewhere. Read on to learn why that is - and discover true price comparisons.
DriveSimple’s Prices Vs Other Van Leasing Websites
Most big van leasing companies try to win customers with a low sticker price. At a glance, that might make it look like it’s cheaper to take a van with them.
But consider all the things that aren’t included in that price. Things you’ll really need. Adjust the lock-in period and upfront payments. And, suddenly, the picture changes.
Think of it like low cost airlines. The headline might say ‘Flights For £1!’. But, after all the add-ons and adjustments, the ticket is more expensive than carriers with superior service.
At DriveSimple, we’re all about transparency. We don’t lure customers in with a low sticker price plastered in small print, and land them with a long contract with a big bank.
That’s not why we’re here. It’s not our style. We’re committed to true pricing.
Because we offer shorter contracts and more flexible terms - plus all necessities included as standard - we might sometimes look a little more costly.
But, in reality, that’s usually not the case - especially once you factor in the additional flexibility and benefits our subscriptions provide.
Real World Price Comparison Example
If you want a 60-month contract with a big bank, to drive 10 miles a day, and wait 5 months for a van - we’ll be honest. There are less expensive options out there.
But if you’re looking for real world mileage, lower deposits, more flexibility, higher approvals and faster delivery, then DriveSimple is perfect for you.
Let’s use a real life example.
Here’s a comparison we found between DriveSimple and a big van leasing firm for a Citroen Relay L3H2 - one of our most popular vans - in October 2025.
As you can see, not only does DriveSimple offer a better business proposition, with all the flexibility you need - the prices make sense as well.
