Commercial Van FAQs — Ireland
Everything you need to know about purchasing, financing, taxing, and running your commercial vehicle with zero hidden fees or import headaches.
Buying Online & Nationwide Delivery
- How does nationwide delivery work across Ireland?
- We deliver ready-to-work commercial vehicles directly to your yard, home, or job site across all 26 counties in the Republic of Ireland. Every delivered vehicle arrives valet-cleaned, registered on Irish plates, with all duties paid, with a new CVRT certificate and ready to drive.
- Do you only sell used vans?
- No. We supply both brand-new and quality-approved used commercial vehicles. Our stock covers everything from panel vans, Lutons, Lowloaders, curtainsiders, fridge vans, tippers and bespoke customised builds.
VRT, Customs Duty & Registration
- Are your prices fully inclusive of Irish VRT and customs duties?
- Yes. Every price listed on our site is fully inclusive of Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT), import duties, customs clearance tariffs, and registration fees. The price you see is the drive-away price.
- Does the van come on Irish registration plates?
- Yes. Every sourced vehicle is fully registered with the National Car Testing Service (NCTS) and fitted with official Republic of Ireland county registration plates before delivery.
VAT, Motor Tax & Commercial Compliance
- Can my business reclaim the 23% VAT on a commercial van?
- Yes. You can reclaim the standard 23% VAT provided you are registered for VAT and have a valid VAT number. Every purchase includes a complete, itemised VAT invoice for your accountant or Revenue return.
- What is the annual commercial motor tax rate, and how do I declare it?
- Commercial motor tax for light goods vehicles under 3,500 kg gross weight is a flat €333 per year. To qualify you submit an RF100 form, a signed Goods Only Declaration and a Weigh Docket to your local motor tax office.
Vehicle Testing (CVRT) & Warranty
- Does the vehicle come with a valid CVRT pass?
- Yes. Every pre-owned commercial vehicle we sell is supplied with a brand-new or long-dated Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Test (CVRT) Certificate.
- What warranty coverage is included?
- Every van comes standard with a 3 months / 5,000 km warranty (whichever comes first) on engine, gearbox and rear axle. Where a van is within manufacturer warranty, this is applicable in the Republic of Ireland.
Commercial Finance & Hire Purchase (HP)
- Can I get finance as a sole trader or newly established business?
- Yes. We partner with Ireland's leading commercial asset lenders who work with established limited companies, self-employed tradespeople and newly formed businesses. Newer sole traders are typically asked for 3–6 months of business bank statements and proof of tax compliance.
- What documents do I need to apply for commercial van finance?
- Have ready: valid photo ID; proof of address within the last 3 months; 3–6 months of recent bank statements; and your PPSN / Tax Registration Number or CRO Company Number. Approval is typically within 24–48 hours.
- How flexible are deposit and monthly repayment terms?
- Terms run from 12 to 60 months with deposits from €0 down (subject to credit approval). With Hire Purchase you gain full legal ownership of the vehicle once the final payment is made.
Specialist Bodystyles & Conversions
- Do you supply specialised commercial vehicles like tippers, Lutons and fridge vans?
- Yes. Alongside standard panel vans (SWB, MWB, LWB) we keep a regular inventory of refrigerated vans, dropside & tipper trucks, Luton & box vans and curtain-siders.
