Other Important Info

Prices

  • Our prices are single, fixed and completely all-inclusive. They include all servicing, maintenance, tyres and windscreens and fully comprehensive insurance for named drivers.
  • Don’t compare apples with oranges – You will find plenty of lower visible prices with plenty of unseen costs (deposits, arrangement fees etc), hidden costs (cost of plans changing after 2 years can be hefty) and excluded costs (Insurance alone can be many £000s each year. How much will your servicing and maintenance cost?)

Vehicles

  • Can all be driven on a standard full UK driving licence.
  • All come with manual gearboxes.
  • Meet Euro 6 min standards and don’t attract charges in the London Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ).
  • Are never the lowest spec or engine – we choose ‘the one you want’ to give you just that, but also to maximise future values. Buying ‘the one the next person wants’ reduces costs to you.
  • Are all classed as Light Commercial vehicles by HMRC and if used for business use by a Vat Registered Company, VAT is fully recoverable each month and there is no P11D benefit in kind for the drivers.

Pain, Costs & Risk

We really get it – we’ve lived this so many times. We launched DriveSimple to solve them.

We are deliberately disruptive

The industry has long been structured to serve large fleets and vested interests with secret prices and exclusive terms. We now bring you those benefits and more.

DriveSimple

  • Flexible vehicle subscriptions with a 12 month initial term.
  • Transparent pricing with no deposit and a single fully inclusive monthly payment.
  • Plain english, clear terms and just 4 preselected models.
  • Designed for the single vehicle business customer with free, no-obligation advice.
  • Fixed cost, risk free motoring.

Other Options

  • 3 or 4 year lock-in with nasty hidden penalties up to 100% of future payments.
  • Deposits, add-ons and insane jargon obscuring real costs and preventing price comparison.
  • Overwhelming options with wildly varying treatment of VAT, payments, ownership, future values and even basic terms.
  • Low volume customers ignored and left to dodge multiple costly pitfalls alone.
  • Total costs of vehicle and Insurance can vary by 100% or more based on hidden traps.

Vehicles and Prices

These 4 models provide the best blend of value and performance for business users. Having fewer models gives us even better purchasing power to lower your costs.

More Info

Pickup Truck

Ford Ranger WildTrak DC

The Does Everything – The superb Wildtrak spec gives you all the cool stuff you want in a real beauty with 5 full seats and 4 proper doors for easy everyday use which also beasts hard with 5 cubic metres and 1060kg of can-do capacity, 170 PS of power from a 2 Litre Diesel Engine and four-wheel drive on demand. The multi-talented yet fully commercially rated Ranger is the bestselling UK pickup by some distance! Rear load-space is 1.5m wide by 1.5m deep.

Small Van

Ford Transit Custom L1H1

The All Star – the smallest proper sized van. Is a small but perfectly formed van with 6 cubic metres and 800kgs of capacity, 3 front seats, side and rear loading doors, a very car-like drive and decent amount of oomph with 130 PS from a 2 Litre Diesel engine. This is the workhorse of Britain and for good reason the most popular van in the UK by miles. The ply-lined load-space is 1.75m wide, 2.5m deep and 1.4m high.

Medium Van

Ford Transit L2H2

The Bigger Brother – all the same features, seats and engine of the L1H1 but the L2H2 is one click longer and one higher giving an increased 10 cubic metres and 920kg of get-it-done. Great for bulkier loads, this model is the second most popular model in the UK and widely respected for its no nonsense abilities. Load space is 1.75m wide, 2.95m deep and 1.88m high.

Large Van

Ford Transit L3H2

The Big One – the L3H2 is just another click longer with all the same stuff as its smaller sibling but with 11.5 cubic metres and 1030kg of make-it-easy. These 3 van models sell more than all the rest of the top ten every year. This is also the biggest that most people will ever need –larger models exists but max weight loads don’t increase much so they are a bit niche. Load space is 1.75m wide, 3.49m deep and 1.88m high.

Who are we?

Our founders are serial entrepreneurs with considerable experience in vehicle hire and leasing. They founded and scaled the largest car-sharing service in the uk, launched the first van sharing service in the Uk and have bought more than £50m of vehicles.

They have also spent many years starting, scaling and advising all sorts of early stage dynamic businesses in wide and varied sectors where they saw first-hand that vehicles were a pain point.

DriveSimple was born out of that real-world frustration - businesses needing just one or two vehicles were being ignored and mistreated and they knew they could provide a simpler way.
