High car prices? Not with a business short lease

As an entrepreneur, you know it: every euro counts and smart investing is crucial for a healthy company. Mobility is essential, but the costs can add up and put pressure on your budget. Especially now, because the prices for both new cars and used cars are tough. Recent figures from AutoScout24 confirm this: used car prices will continue to rise in 2025. Buying a representative car for the business is therefore an increasingly important investment. So how do you ensure that your company remains mobile and agile, without compromising your cash flow or flexibility?

‍

The challenge:

In fact, those rising car prices are only part of the story. As an entrepreneur, you face more challenges when it comes to the traditional purchase or long-term lease of a car:

• Impact on cash flow: Buying a car means taking a big bite out of your budget. Money that you might prefer to invest in growing your company.
• Risk of depreciation and residual value: The car market changes continuously. New technology (such as the rapid rise of electric cars) and stricter environmental requirements make a car's future value uncertain. As an owner, you are entirely responsible for this risk.
• Long-term obligations: Standard lease contracts often last 3, 4 or even 5 years. But what if your company grows, shrinks, or your mobility requirements change? Then you're still stuck with it.
• Hassle with management and administration: Think of all the time and costs for insurance, maintenance, repairs and ultimately selling the car.

The solution: business short lease via VWP Shortlease

Fortunately, there is a smart alternative that perfectly fits the needs for flexibility and cost control of modern companies: business short lease. At VWP Shortlease, you can drive a representative and reliable passenger car for a short, flexible period (e.g. from 1 to 24 months). For this, you pay a fixed, transparent, all-in monthly fee (only fuel or charging costs are added). The benefits for your company are clear, especially because VWP Shortlease attaches great importance to flexibility:

• Your money stays in the company: You don't have to make a big investment. Instead, you pay clear, transparent monthly amounts. These are simply ongoing costs for using the car. This way, you keep money left over for other important things.
• Maximum flexibility: This is where VWP Shortlease really excels. Is your business growing? Do you temporarily need extra cars for a project? Or do you just want to take a step back? Our contracts can often be amended or canceled after just one month. So you're not stuck with anything for long and stay flexible.
• Clear and predictable costs: You know exactly what you're paying each month. No surprises due to unexpected bills for maintenance, repairs, insurance or road tax. After all, this is all included in your monthly amount. What's more, you'll receive everything on one invoice.
• Minimal risk: The risk of depreciation, expensive repairs or a disappointing residual value? That is entirely up to us. That way, you don't run any financial risk.
• Fast and Easy: You can often hit the road at a very short notice. A large part of our range is ready for you immediately and can be delivered tomorrow.

When is a business short lease the best choice?

Shortlease is the solution for all kinds of business situations:

• Start-ups and fast-growing companies: Directly mobile without spending valuable initial capital on cars.
• Project organizations (such as construction, consultancy, secondment): Representative cars for employees who visit customers or work on location, exactly for the duration of the project.
• Companies with seasonal peaks: Extra cars for sales or account managers, for example, during busy periods.
• New employees: A representative car during the probationary period or for the duration of a temporary contract.
• Bridging delivery times: Are you waiting for an ordered (lease) car? With short lease, you or your employees stay mobile.
• Temporary, specific mobility needs: Do you need an extra car quickly for an important customer visit, a business event or because you need to travel more temporarily? Shortlease offers a solution.
• Trying out electric driving: Are you considering electric cars for your staff, but want to see if it suits you first? With short lease, you can try out an electric car for as long as you want.
