For beverage distributors and drinks suppliers, your fleet is the lifeblood of your business — ensuring products reach customers fresh, on time and in perfect condition. Whether you’re delivering to pubs, restaurants, retailers or events, you need reliable vans that can handle heavy loads and maintain your professional brand image.
At Willow Leasing, we provide leasing solutions for businesses distributing everything from bottled water to craft beer, soft drinks and wines. Our range of commercial vehicles includes compact city vans, medium load carriers and heavy-duty transporters — all available with flexible lease terms, maintenance packages and cost-efficient options to suit your business size.
Distributors and wholesalers rely on dependable, high-capacity vans and pickups that can handle daily deliveries safely and efficiently. Below are Willow Leasing’s top recommendations for beverage businesses of all sizes.
Renowned for durability and space, the Sprinter offers up to 17 m³ of load capacity and a strong payload rating. It’s ideal for multi-drop deliveries, event supply operations and long-distance wholesale routes. The eSprinter version provides up to 113 miles of electric range — perfect for city centres and short-range distribution.
The Crafter is perfect for beverage companies that prioritise precision and efficiency. With up to 18.4 m³ of load space and a range of body lengths and roof heights, it’s ideal for loading kegs, crates or palletised goods. Safety features such as crosswind assist and rear camera systems make it especially suited to busy urban deliveries.
Renault Master / Master E - Tech Electric
The Renault Master is a cost-effective large van with excellent versatility. It offers payloads up to 2,000 kg, side and rear access doors for easy loading, and plenty of options for refrigerated or insulated conversions. The E-Tech Electric variant delivers up to 126 miles of range for emission-free urban drops
Buying a new car or van outright ties up thousands of pounds that could be better invested elsewhere. With Willow Leasing, you pay a predictable fixed monthly cost and a small initial rental — freeing up working capital for tools, marketing, stock or staff.
For businesses: Protect liquidity and keep borrowing power available for growth.
For individuals: Enjoy a new vehicle without the strain of a large upfront payment.
Leasing keeps you in a new, warranty-protected vehicle every few years — meaning:
Better fuel economy and lower emissions.
The latest safety technology (ADAS, lane assist, collision avoidance).
Access to the newest electric and hybrid vehicles without long-term commitment.
For businesses, a modern fleet projects reliability and professionalism; for personal drivers, it means safety and comfort at all times.
Leasing is one of the most tax-efficient ways for a UK business to operate vehicles.
Business Contract Hire (BCH): Up to 100 % of the lease rentals can often be offset against corporation tax if the vehicle is used exclusively for business.
VAT recovery: Reclaim up to 50 % of VAT on car leases and 100 % of VAT on van leases (subject to business use).
No asset on your balance sheet: Leasing keeps your business agile and debt-light — a key advantage when tendering or seeking finance.
Every Willow lease can be configured to your needs:
Choose contract lengths from 24 – 60 months.
Select mileage allowances that fit your actual usage.
Add maintenance, breakdown cover, or GAP insurance.
Combine multiple vehicles under one fleet arrangement.
This flexibility makes Willow Leasing equally suited to sole traders, SMEs and corporate fleets.
Most leasing companies push deals from a limited number of funders or dealers. Willow Leasing compares the entire UK market, including:
National dealers
Specialist funders
Manufacturer-backed finance
Tactical offers
Fleet suppliers
Stock-only discounts
Limited-run promotions
Customers choose Willow because they want a real human managing their lease, not a faceless call centre or automated system.
Willow Leasing holds the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award, which puts you ahead of many larger leasing brokers that don’t consistently achieve top customer ratings.
We’re independent — which means we work for you, not a manufacturer. You get honest advice, unbiased comparisons and a dedicated expert who helps you find the right deal, avoid common leasing pitfalls and secure the best price on the market.
Where large brokers often prioritise factory orders, Willow Leasing works closely with:
nationwide dealer groups
tactical offer suppliers
fleet buyers
wholesalers
manufacturers
This means:
✔ More in-stock vehicles
✔ Shorter delivery times
✔ Priority access to tactical offers
✔ Faster turnaround for business fleets
Whether you're in Scotland, London, rural Wales or anywhere across the UK — your vehicle is delivered straight to your door.
No dealership visits.
No wasted time.
Whether you’re a business, a tradesperson, or a personal customer, Willow Leasing gives you a smoother, more transparent and more personalised leasing experience than most other brokers on the UK market. Unlike big-volume brokers chasing quick transactions, we focus on clear communication, better deals, personalised support and long-term relationships.
All our lease deals are delivered free of charge to all Mainland UK addresses. Unless otherwise advised your new vehicle will be driven to your home address by a professional driver on a date and time convenient to yourself.
All our lease deals include road tax for the full duration of your lease. The lease company tax it directly with the DVLA, giving you one less thing to worry about.
At the end of the lease agreement you simply hand the car back to the finance company. They will contact you directly to arrange collecting it from your home address, free of charge. You can either lease another car or look elsewhere. As long as the vehicle is in good condition you won't have anything extra to pay. You can view the fair wear and tear guide here.
The minimum term we offer on our car leasing and van leasing offers are 18 months and the maximum is five years.
The initial rental is a payment you make at the start of your lease agreement. Your initial rental is calculated in multiples of your regular monthly payment and can be based on 1, 3, 6, 9 or 12. As it pays a proportion of your total lease cost it means the more you pay upfront, the lower your monthly payment will be.
