How to Maximise Your Van’s Value

When it comes to driving and owning a van, depreciation and running costs can be intimidating. There are several tricks that you can employ to really maximise the value of your van. If you’re struggling to keep running costs low and value high, then here are a few tricks you should employ:

Regular Servicing

Keeping your van running as efficiently as possible is essential for low running costs and maintaining a good resale value. You only need to do this once a year or every 10,000 miles or so, depending on the manufacturer and how many miles you put on your vehicle. While it does cost you a bit to have it done, you’re retain the value in the vehicle and you’ll find that you get much better fuel economy and prevents expensive break downs.

Vinyl Wrap Your Van

When it comes to branding, vinyl is your best bet to maximise value. Not only will it be aesthetically pleasing and look professional - both helping to attract new business - but it is also easy to remove without causing damage - perfect for selling on. Painting directly onto the vehicle can damage the paintwork and be difficult to remove, which can bring down the value of your van.

Get Good Tyres

It can be very easy to take a cheap option without thinking of long term value. However, getting more expensive tyres can actually work out a lot better in the long run. Not only are you more likely to get a better return on your fuel consumption, but you’ll also have a quieter ride and the tyres are likely to last longer than their budget counter parts.
