What To Know About Ford Transit Custom Leasing
If you have been interested in leasing any kind of van, then the Ford Transit range is probably one of the vehicles that you have seen the most. Not only are they popular, but they have some technical benefits that make them a good solution to most problems, at least in conventional businesses.

However, that does not mean that you should just blindly lease a Ford Transit van and hope for the best. If you want the right kind of results, then you need the right kind of van, and that means choosing a lease and Ford Transit design that is right for you (or your business).

What are Ford Transit Vans?
The Ford Transit is the most popular van in the UK and has remained a key part of the leasing market ever since 1965 (or perhaps even earlier). Even all this time later, the general idea behind the vehicle is still the same, and this makes it a familiar and reliable option for operations of any scale.

However, that also means that there is not just one Ford Transit anymore. Countless redesigns have been dreamt up and improved on, and we are now in a situation where there are four different types of Transit, each going down its own path of upgrades and tweaks that the others may not have.

What is the Ford Transit Custom?
Looking into Ford Transit Custom leasing information might not give you a full breakdown of what the Custom does differently. When people say Transit, they are usually thinking of the Custom, the simplest and most versatile version of the Transit that most people will end up buying.

Design
The Ford Transit Custom has a variety of configurations: a standard van, a double-cab-in-van design that allows for extra seating with a bulkhead, and the Kombi model that aims for a passenger capacity of nine people and the ability to fold seats away for more room.

On top of this, they also come in two different heights and two different lengths, meaning that you can get a higher room for storing larger items or add additional space with a larger rear body.

Engine
The Ford Transit Custom usually has a 2.0-liter diesel engine, which is available in one of three power output options. It can also be replaced with a plug-in hybrid if you would prefer to use electrical power on shorter trips, something that might be worth investing in if your company is pro-zero emissions.

Customization
All of this means that you can effectively tailor a Ford Transit Custom towards your needs, but you have to find a model that is available for leasing first. As long as you have a vague idea of what your new van will need to do, you can usually track down a Custom that is built for that situation.

Why Lease a Ford Transit Custom?
Ford Transit Custom leasing is less about the lease and more about the van itself. As one of the most popular vans in the UK (especially when combined with the overall Ford Transit line), it is a very common option and will be available from nearly any leasing company or site.

However, one of the biggest reasons to use a Ford Transit Custom over other vans is the fact that it can be adapted in so many ways. As long as you do your research and plan ahead, you can find a Transit Custom design that is almost perfect for your needs.

Since the Transit Custom is still a fairly generalized design in each configuration, it can fit almost any role and work in a wide variety of situations. This stops it from being too specialized, something that can make it a perfect choice to fill your business’ vehicle needs.

Reliability
Not only is the Custom still very popular, but there are thousands of locations that offer spare parts and countless people that are able to fix them. The vans use no special components and do not have any unique gimmick features that make them harder to work with, so if one breaks down, you can usually get it running again quickly.

They are also simple enough to not have any obvious flaws or weaknesses in how they work. As long as you are not overloading the van with excess weight, they will work just as well as any Ford vehicle.

Efficiency
The Custom is straightforward and easy to use, to the point that they are often training vehicles for other vans. This allows them to be handled by nearly anybody, with the engine under the hood making them surprisingly efficient once they are on the move.

In businesses that do not have many employees and where responsibilities might be shared based on what is urgent, a simple van can be a lifesaver. Emergency transportation, quick deliveries, and other short-term jobs can be completed by anybody who knows how to drive a van.

Versatility
Some of the designs also allow the seats to be adjusted and folded, something that can really help for multi-purpose vehicles. The only things that can’t easily be changed on your own are the general configurations and the height/length combinations, which is a big step up from many typical vans.

Thanks to this, you can usually get a van that fits in with your business operations. If you move larger items, you can choose a longer or taller model, but if you mostly need to carry passengers, then the people-carrying variant is also an option. There is not a single standard design of Custom. They are just all versions of the same basic body.

Leasing a Ford Transit Custom
But what about the lease itself? When it comes to leasing a van, it is similar to leasing a car, with the only real difference being the kind of configurations that you might have available and the insurance that might be on offer.
Since you are usually leasing pre-existing vehicles instead of getting one tailored to your needs, you will have to go looking for one that can fit the niche your business has left open. For example, some companies might not have the higher model of Custom or might have leased their last Kombi model before you contacted them.

Styling
If you have aesthetic preferences or want your vans to fit a certain theme, then many sites offer styling packages. This can be important If you want your van to stand out more and represent your business in a better light, or just if you want it to fit in with existing vehicles that you are using.
These can also come with a few technical tweaks, like different panels or spoilers that might alter the performance of the van ever so slightly. This is not something to focus on too much, but it is worth considering.

Additional Features
Some leasing websites and companies will have extra features that you can add as optional upgrades, similar to styling packs. These can be internal additions like seats and padding or external ones like tow bars – never necessary, but helpful in the right circumstances.

Depending on the type of work you do, it might be worth equipping at least some of your vehicles with these features if you are a larger company.

Pricing
Since there are so many different Ford Transit Custom models, pricing can vary heavily. However, they are all the same basic frame and chassis, so they will usually hover within the same price range – even the longer and taller designs.

Keep in mind that extra features will push this price up slightly, so it is something to consider if you think you might want extra gear installed in your van.

Should I Lease a Ford Transit Custom?
The Ford Transit Custom is a great choice of van, and it can be an excellent addition to an existing vehicle fleet or a great starting point to a mobile business. There are not many situations where a Custom is unable to do its job properly, and that becomes even more true if you tailor it to your business needs.
Just remember that you still need to approach the lease like any other vehicle. Think about what you want, know what you are willing to pay, and understand that there can always be situations where you can’t get the exact model you wanted within your own budget.

Since you can tweak so much about the Custom, it is easy to work out what kind of design and features you would want most. Take your time, and do not rush into a decision.

Where Should I Lease It From?
The sheer amount of Ford Transit Custom models out there means that online leasing companies are usually the best way to go.

For example, sites like https://www.swissvans.com/product/ford-transit-custom-lease/ show off a large amount of the designs on only a single page, complete with pricing information. This makes it much easier to compare what you would be getting for your money.

Make sure you take a proper look at each model before moving onto the next one since there are a whole host of different options and features that can completely change the way a van works. Something that might sound small could actually lead to some serious performance improvements or handling tweaks when the fan is full or moving through an urban area.
