Some commonly asked questions
1- Am I safe buying over the phone?
We have sold thousands and thousands of vans since 2005. Please check our 1100 reviews on Autotrader which are a fraction of what was sold.
2- How do I buy?
Lets have a chat over the phone first so we can establish what vehicle suits you and how quickly we can find you one. It also allows us to explain the different finance packages as many van sales companies especially ones that sell cars tend to push contract hire to the wrong customers as it helps their car targets. We then send across the figures to confirm what we said on the phone. You just hit reply to buy and we can control the rest.
3- How do we sort the paperwork?
In most cases the paperwork comes across to you via the backend of our website. You sign electronically and surrender modern day digital ID. For some customers actual physical proofs need to be sent in.
4. Which finance package is best for me?
Look at our Van Finance page. By all means have a chat with your accountant before giving us a call. But our experienced knowledgeable team will have already dealt with similar companies and customers and will always know the bets package for you. The sort of questions your accountant should be taking into consideration are VAT registration and whether full or flat rate Profit for company this tax year How many vehicles in the fleet The desirability of the vehicle second hand The mileage you intend to do Whether you are likely to want to change early for even greater tax savings
5. Can I keep a vehicle that has a balloon payment on finance lease?
“You” is the pivotal word and by you we mean the company. You nor the company can keep ownership since if you did you could write the vehicle down a second time ! So yes the vehicle can be bought privately at the end or by a third party or by a different company. All of which you can choose. Just not by the first buyer or company which is why so many get confused. We can refinance balloons.
6. Do you take part exchange?.
Yes we take part exchange. And we can settle existing finance agreements. We can also occasionally help with some funders stalling final payments or extending leases if you have a van on order. A part exchange must be with an MOT when collected and in a road worthy condition with a V5 and paperwork. Some old old vans are just not worth the trouble of part exchange and you might be better off selling privately.
7. Is delivery free?
Yes and No. Depends on the supplier. We will let you know when we speak. Some vans have been bought in bulk and come to Wales. Some vans are coming straight from old RAF bases in many cases so you couldn’t collect anyway! We can deliver but on the stock Welsh ones its cheaper if you self-collect.

Tom from Swiss Vans was brilliant from start to finish. He sourced me the van I was after for the right price and guided me through the whole sales process smoothly.

"I’ve just taken delivery of my new van from Swiss and I couldn’t be happier. The whole process has been long due to the shortage of vans but Alex has been a star and kept me informed all the way through, every email has been answered straight away and even when I’ve asked stupid questions and changed the spec a 100 times he’s just dealt with it perfectly, I’ve recommended Swiss to a friend and he’s had exactly the same level of customer service so I can’t recommend them highly enough."

Tom never gave up, although my first choice of vehicle was not available he found a replacement but that was the wrong weight load so he then found me anther vehicle but was not a crew cab so he got it converted to a crew cab. Always kept me informed what was going on. He was a diamond. Made buying a van a pleasure.
Paul Mchugh
placed an order with Ashley at Swiss vans 5 weeks ago for a new VW transporter Kombi with hornet kit. The van is now with me and looks better than I expected. Very happy with my new toy.
