The commonest question asked over and over again to me and my colleagues is which route to take: rental or leasing on a vehicle. What are the advantages of leasing compared to rental agreements?

The answer is quite simple. You can choose which van to have when taking out a lease, a choice from the huge range on over of well-known makes and models. You can choose what colour it will be, what options you want and what size and specification you require. You as a customer are spreading your payments, usually monthly, over a set period of time, resulting in a cheaper deal than renting the same vehicle. This is because the finance company knows how much money they will be earning from customers because of the commitment the customer has made.

Because of the volume of vehicles that are turned over, we are able to get competitive prices and pass these directly to the customer. The net result is lower up front vehicle prices to the customer, helping to improve customer business cash flow. A customer also has the option to own or sell the vehicle at the end of the finance lease. A customer can then keep any equity that is earnt when the vehicle is put up for sale.

There is the added bonus of being able to sign write your vehicle with your own company logo and add other extras such as roof racks and interior racking.

Renting the vehicle is the alternative, but at the end of the deal when you have had enough, you will have nothing left to show. In this current econmic climate it surely doesn’t make much sense financially!!
