Frequently Asked Questions

Is Long-term leasing available to a young company or a self-employed person?

Long-term leasing  is accessible to young companies as well as self-employed individuals. Some documents will be required to establish your contract.
The Long-term leasing does not, in principle, require an initial deposit at the time of contract signing. This solution thus allows you to quickly have a professional vehicle without mobilizing significant capital. You benefit from a fixed monthly rent that allows you to control your budget and preserve your cash flow. Arval supports you at every step to define the term, mileage and services best suited to your situation. You benefit from a flexible, economic and professional mobility solution tailored to your needs.


What documents are required to subscribe to a Long-term leasing as a self-employed individual?

The documents to provide to subscribe to a long-term lease contract depend on your status (micro-entrepreneur or commercial company).
For a commercial company (SASU, EURL, etc):
A Kbis extract less than 3 months old.
The identity document of the manager.
The Articles of Association of the company.
A proof of address.
The previous years' balance sheets and income statements.
A RIB.

For a micro-entrepreneur (or a traditional sole proprietorship):
Your ID.
A SIRENE situation report (available on the INSEE website).
The 2035 declaration or the URSSAF certificate of income.
Proof of income.
Your latest bank statements.


These documents allow Arval to review your file and provide you with an offer tailored to your situation.


Does Long-term leasing help preserve the cash flow of my business?

Yes, long-term leasing helps preserve your business's cash flow. Unlike the purchase of a vehicle or a lease with an option to purchase, Long-term leasing does not require, in principle, any mandatory deposit at the time of signing the contract. You therefore do not have to immobilize capital and you can devote your financial resources to the development of your business.

You then benefit from fixed rents, defined at the time of the contract signing. This visibility allows you to manage your budget and avoid unexpected expenses related to owning a vehicle. You also don’t need to worry about reselling the vehicle and its depreciation.

.


What happens if my business evolves or if my mobility needs change?

The long-term lease contract adapts according to the evolution of your business and your needs. You can adjust the initially planned mileage allowance, extend or reduce* the term of the contract, or modify certain services associated with the vehicle.
This flexibility allows you to maintain a fleet adapted to your business and limit unnecessary costs. You thus benefit from an operational vehicle without the associated administrative constraints.

An early repayment may incur fees


How can Long-Term Leasing help reduce fleet management costs?

Long-Term Leasing helps businesses optimise fleet-related costs through predictable monthly payments, outsourced vehicle management services, maintenance support, and fleet reporting tools. This allows fleet managers to improve cost visibility and reduce administrative workload


What is Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) in fleet management?

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) represents all costs associated with a vehicle throughout its lifecycle, including leasing costs, maintenance, fuel or energy consumption, insurance, taxes, and administration. Monitoring TCO helps fleet managers make more informed mobility decisions.


Can electric vehicles be integrated into a company fleet?

Yes. Electric vehicles can be integrated into company fleets as part of a mobility and sustainability strategy. Fleet managers can benefit from lower running costs while supporting environmental objectives and energy transition initiatives.
