A plan for your
next Volkswagen Crafter.
Last updated 2 November 2026
A used Crafter for a working business and several new vans for a vehicle hire fleet need different funding conversations. DCF has published completed examples of both, including a used CR35 panel van on hire purchase and three new Crafters for a Kent hire company.
Choose the precise variant before comparing finance. Wheelbase, roof height, gross vehicle weight, body style and any equipment fitted to the van affect suitability. Check the individual vehicle’s specification and plated limits rather than relying on the Crafter name alone.
For several vans, send a vehicle schedule with a price, specification and delivery date for each. We can explore the overall requirement while checking how the lender will treat each vehicle and its intended use.
Single van or several?
A fleet quotation should identify each vehicle and its delivery date. Tell us if new and used stock, multiple sellers or staged deliveries form part of the purchase.
Tell us about hire use
If the van will be hired to other businesses, make that clear at the start. Intended use and insurance arrangements matter to the funding discussion.
Specifications vary by year and variant. Confirm the exact vehicle with its supplier. View current manufacturer information

Hire purchase
Spread the purchase cost through agreed repayments. Ownership can pass to your company once all contractual payments and any option-to-purchase fee have been paid.
Compare the deposit, VAT due at the start, monthly payments, fees and any final payment together.
Finance lease
Your company uses the van in return for rentals while the finance provider retains ownership. Understand the initial rental, ongoing payments and end-of-term arrangements before signing.
Your accountant can help assess the tax and accounting treatment for your business.

Your questions answered
Volkswagen Crafter finance FAQs.
Can I finance a used Volkswagen Crafter CR35?
Yes, DCF can explore funding for a used Crafter CR35. We have published a completed 36-month hire purchase example. That term relates to that particular transaction; terms for another van depend on its age, mileage, condition, value and your business.
Can a vehicle hire company finance several Crafters?
Potentially. Our published case study records hire purchase for three new Volkswagen Crafters bought by a Kent vehicle hire company. For a new enquiry, provide the vehicle schedule, intended hire use and supplier details so we can approach suitable lenders.
Can I finance a long-wheelbase or high-roof Crafter?
These variants can be considered, subject to assessment of the exact vehicle and business. Send the full specification, price and supplier quotation. Check load space and payload for the actual van, including any fitted equipment.
Can DCF source a Volkswagen Crafter too?
We can discuss sourcing alongside finance. Tell us the body style, size, quantity, budget and delivery requirements. Availability and price must be confirmed for the specific vehicles before you proceed.
