Guide price basis: 48-month term, 10,000 miles a year, 6 rentals down, maintenance excluded, ex VAT. Business contract hire — a fixed monthly rental over an agreed term and mileage, with the vehicle returned at the end. Maintenance can be added; excess mileage and end-of-lease condition charges are set out before you sign. Change the term, the mileage or the rentals down and the monthly changes with them.
Availability: Listings show the vehicles we can supply, not stock held on site. Specific variants, trim levels, body conversions and delivery dates depend on factory lead times and availability at the time you order, and some vehicles are build-to-order. Nothing is reserved for your business until we confirm it in writing. If we cannot get the exact vehicle you have asked for, we will tell you and set out the closest alternative we can.
Ford's compact van, rebuilt on Volkswagen's small-van platform for the current generation. Short and long wheelbases, a genuinely quiet cab and enough width between the arches for a standard pallet.
- Takes a Euro pallet through the side door on both wheelbases
- L1 and longer L2 body lengths give roughly 3.1 to 3.7 m³ of load volume
- Car-like cab with a proper driving position for long days on the road
- Automatic gearbox available if your drivers cover heavy stop-start mileage
A Ford Transit Connect L1 Trend is available on business contract hire from a guide price of £215 a month ex VAT. The current Connect shares its underpinnings with the VW Caddy, so it drives like a car but carries a Euro pallet — a sensible step up for trades outgrowing a city van.

Can my business lease the Ford Transit Connect without years of filed accounts?
Often, yes. Commercial underwriting looks at the business, its directors and whether the monthly rental is comfortably affordable — not only at how many years of accounts have been filed — so new limited companies are genuinely considered for the Ford Transit Connect. We work best with good and fair credit profiles; adverse credit is reviewed case by case, and if we cannot help we will tell you honestly rather than leave you waiting. Asking for a guide quote on this van is free and commits you to nothing, and any agreement that follows is between your business and FleetMe.
Ford Transit Connect — your questions
What is the difference between the Transit Connect L1 and L2?
L2 adds roughly 35cm of load length and around half a cubic metre of volume for a small extra monthly cost. If you carry long lengths or want space for racking plus a pallet, L2 is usually the better value. We will quote both side by side.
Is the Transit Connect any good on fuel?
It is one of the more economical small vans, helped by a modern Euro 6 diesel and a relatively light body. Real-world consumption depends on load, roof bars and route, so we would rather not put a headline figure on it.
Can several drivers use the same leased van?
Yes. The agreement is with your business, not a named individual, so any of your employees with the right licence and your insurance cover can drive it. Just tell us your expected annual mileage across all drivers so the contract is set correctly.
How leasing with FleetMe works
We supply the vehicle. Your hire agreement is with FleetMe — there is no third party in the middle, and no one else sets your price. You tell us the vehicle, the term and the mileage you need; we confirm the monthly rental and what is included in writing before anything is agreed. It costs nothing to ask, and we will tell you honestly if we cannot help.
This is business contract hire: a fixed monthly rental over an agreed term and mileage, with the vehicle returned at the end. You are hiring it, not buying it, so there is no balloon payment and no option to purchase.
