Long-term hire, made clear
Pick one, three or 12 months, choose your mileage and see the monthly price. Before you commit, we show the deposit, insurance requirement, inclusions and return rules in one place.
Three simple options
Every option is paid monthly. The difference is how long you commit at the start and what happens at the end.
Maximum flexibility
Commit for the first month. Keep the van and the rental continues monthly, or give notice during the initial term to return it at the end of month one.
Most popular
A three-month initial commitment for projects, new starters and fleet growth. It then continues monthly until you give notice.
Plan ahead
Fix the initial term and agree an optional guaranteed purchase price at the outset. At month 12, return, extend by agreement or buy the van.
Before you book
No hunting through the small print to understand the basic deal. Your final quote and rental agreement will repeat these details before you commit.
The monthly rental
Mechanical running costs stay predictable, while the customer remains responsible for insurance, day-to-day consumables and driver-related damage.
Tyres and punctures are not included. The customer pays for punctures, impact or kerb damage and replacement caused by abnormal or accelerated wear. A defect already present at handover remains Viva's responsibility.
From quote to keys
Select the initial term, monthly mileage, van type and gearbox.
Review the monthly price, VAT, refundable deposit and key rental rules together.
Send fully comprehensive insurance evidence and the requested driver or business documents.
Complete the handover, then keep, return or—at month 12—choose whether to buy.
The 12-month difference
If the option is agreed before the rental begins, your guaranteed month-12 purchase price appears in the agreement from the outset. At month 12, buying is your choice—not an obligation.

Choose an initial term of one, three or 12 months. One- and three-month rentals continue on a rolling monthly basis after the initial term. The 12-month plan ends with the choice to return the van, extend by agreement or use an agreed purchase option.
You can give notice during your initial one- or three-month term to return the van on its final day. Once the rental is rolling, give 14 calendar days' notice. The final part-month is charged pro rata. Return arrangements for a 12-month plan are agreed before month 12.
The refundable security deposit is equal to one month's rental, calculated using the VAT-inclusive monthly amount. It is normally returned within 10 working days after the van's final inspection, less any agreed charges for damage, mileage, fuel, fines or other outstanding balances.
Choose 1,000 or 2,000 miles per month. Your total allowance is based on the selected monthly figure and the length of the hire. Excess mileage is charged at 25p plus VAT per mile; if your needs change, contact us before renewal about changing plan.
No. Viva operates on a customer-own-insurance basis, often called COI. You must provide proof of fully comprehensive insurance covering the hired vehicle and every approved driver before collection or delivery. Viva will verify the cover before releasing the van.
Scheduled servicing, routine mechanical maintenance, road tax and standard breakdown cover are included. You must tell Viva promptly when a service is due and follow the vehicle's maintenance instructions.
Tyres and puncture repairs are not included. The customer is responsible for punctures, impact or kerb damage and replacement caused by abnormal or accelerated wear. Any defect already present at handover remains Viva's responsibility.
