Van leasing
From the compact Caddy to the large Crafter: Porsche Bank offers flexible, tax-efficient financing for your van, directly through Austria’s largest dealer network.
Your commercial vehicle – with no capital tied up
For many businesses and self-employed people, a cargo van is not a luxury but an essential piece of equipment – and for private individuals, it is the ideal basis for a customised camper or leisure van. This makes it all the more important to structure your financing wisely. With Porsche Bank’s van leasing, you do not pay the full purchase price, instead you only pay for the use of the vehicle over the agreed term. This preserves your cash flow, protects your credit limit with your main bank and enables you to upgrade regularly to the latest models featuring modern technology and lower fuel consumption.
As a business owner, you also benefit from a key advantage that comparison websites often fail to mention: leasing instalments are fully tax-deductible as business expenses – and the vehicle does not appear on your balance sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions about Van Leasing (FAQ)
The monthly leasing payment depends on the model, the term, the mileage and any initial deposit. You can calculate the exact terms individually using Porsche Bank’s car4me leasing calculator – subject to creditworthiness and subject to change
Yes. Lease payments for vans used for business purposes can be claimed in full as business expenses for tax purposes with Porsche Bank. Unlike with passenger cars, there is no luxury tax on commercial vehicles. Furthermore, the vehicle has no impact on the balance sheet and affects neither the equity ratio nor the bank rating. Please note: Please discuss your individual situation with your tax adviser.
Porsche Bank’s portfolio mainly comprises vehicles from the VW Commercial Vehicles range: the VW Caddy, VW California, VW ID. Buzz, VW Amarok, VW Transporter and VW Crafter. Many of the vehicles are already registered and ready for immediate collection.
Porsche Bank offers leasing contracts with terms ranging from 36 to 60 months. For commercial vehicles, mileage packages ranging from 10,000 to 50,000 km per year are available. Any excess mileage is charged at contractually agreed rates – so it pays off to agree on a realistic mileage allowance.
With Porsche Bank’s residual value leasing, there are three options available: return the vehicle and take out a new lease, extend the contract, or purchase the vehicle at the agreed residual value. With a rental lease, there is no purchase option – the vehicle is returned without any further obligation.
For business customers, there are two options: with pool leasing, the vehicle is returned to the lessor’s vehicle pool; with operating leasing, the contract also ends without a purchase option, but additional services such as maintenance and insurance are often included.
