Some of the horsebox manufacturers offer leasing. It costs several hundred pounds a month.

I think it would work out a lot cheaper to buy one and sell a year later,
bank loan??? and pay it off when you sell the lorry... a year would be considerd a short term, most lorry leases are 4/5 years otherwise the payments are high

there was a place called I4hire, think its in devon, a friend did this for 6 months then had the option to buy it.

Most rental companies do this-long term lease

We did it just to help out one of our horses on the yard - theault cost £3,000 a month but was worth it-fully insured and serviced for us throughout our hire

That was 18 months ago

Not sure what the pricing is nowadays

i looked into this only about a month ago, and found a few companies offer it, and the average per month was around £800.
realised i could get a loan and buy one for that amount a month and put money away each month for a emergency lorry fund! (if things went wrong!)
and have the money for the insurance too.

its worth calling around the hire companies, even if they are not local to you as I called a few further afield and they were slightly cheaper but it still worked out far too expensive for me to consider.
