Short-term business lease
With a business short-term lease, you can drive a professional vehicle for as little as one month, without a long-term contract or a significant upfront investment. You pay a single, fixed monthly fee that includes maintenance, tires, repairs, comprehensive (all-risk) insurance, road tax, roadside assistance, and a replacement vehicle. Fueling and/or charging is all you need to handle yourself. Ideal for entrepreneurs, freelancers, and businesses looking for flexibility in managing their fleet.

When is a business short-term lease the right choice?
Business short-term lease is a logical choice if you find flexibility more important than the lowest monthly price over five years. A few situations where our customers choose short-term lease:
- New staff who need to be able to drive immediately. You've hired someone who starts next week. A regular lease car has a delivery time of months. With short-term lease, the new employee is driving within 24 hours.
- Bridging until an ordered vehicle is delivered. You've ordered a car, but delivery time is delayed. Instead of months without transport, you'll be in a temporary car by the next day.
- Pilot with electric driving. Considering electrifying your fleet? Short-term lease a Tesla Model Y, Skoda Elroq, or Polestar for a few months and test first if electric fits your business before signing a multi-year contract.
- Temporary projects or interim assignments. A project of three, six, or nine months. A regular lease ties you down for 48 or 60 months. Short-term lease moves with the project duration.
- Seasonal activities. Scale up your fleet during busy periods and as soon as the peak is over, avoid high costs.
- Startups and growing businesses. No annual figures available yet or is the business growing fast? With short-term lease, you don't have to enter into a multi-year commitment.

Business short-term lease and the tax side
Business short-term lease is fiscally treated largely as regular operational lease. The main points:
- VAT: The VAT on the monthly installments can be deducted as input tax, depending on the extent of business use. For private use, a correction applies.
- Deductibility: The monthly lease costs are deductible from profits as business expenses.
- Taxable benefit (Bijtelling): If you use the car for more than 500 kilometers per year privately, a taxable benefit applies. Different percentages apply for electric cars than for fuel cars. Read more about how taxable benefit works at VWP.
- Balance sheet: In most cases, short-term lease is not included on the balance sheet, which keeps your working capital intact.
This is a general explanation. For your specific situation, we recommend contacting your accountant or tax advisor.
