Who is the registered keeper and owner of the lease van?

The funder will also be the registered owner of the van. This is because when you take out the contract with Vanparison, you’re agreeing to have the use of the van for a set length of time, with no option to buy the vehicle at the end of the agreement.

Whilst you, as the driver of the vehicle, will not be the registered owner, this doesn’t mean elements like road tax and any other contact with the DVLA are their responsibility and not yours.
