Trailer leasing
What is Trailer Leasing?
Trailer leasing offers businesses a cost-effective way to access high-quality trailers without the upfront cost of purchasing. We provide a flexible leasing program tailored to meet your hauling needs. By leasing, you gain access to a trailer for an agreed-upon period, paying monthly instead of purchasing outright, which can be ideal for companies needing trailers for longer-term use or projects.
Differences Between Leasing and Renting
Understanding the difference between leasing and renting is crucial in selecting the best option for business.
- Leasing is generally a longer-term commitment, often over a year, with fixed monthly payments. It offers better control over costs, and lease agreements typically include options for maintaining, insuring, or eventually buying the trailer at the end of the lease period.
- Renting is more short-term, often for a few weeks or months. It works well for temporary or project-specific needs, providing flexibility without the longer financial commitment of a lease.
For companies with ongoing or foreseeable hauling needs, leasing with INTERSTATE 365 provides stability, reduced costs over time, and a high level of flexibility for growth.
Advantages of Leasing a Trailer
- Lower Upfront Cost: Leasing requires only monthly payments, preserving your capital for other business needs. Unlike a purchase, there’s no need to commit a large sum upfront.
- Predictable Monthly Payments: Leasing provides stable monthly expenses, making it easier to budget over time. With fixed payments, your financial planning becomes more predictable, which is beneficial for cash flow.
- Flexibility for Growth: As your hauling needs change, leasing allows you to adapt. At the end of the lease, you can either upgrade to a larger trailer, extend the lease on your current one, or even add additional trailers to your fleet.
- Tax Benefits: Lease payments can often be deducted as a business expense, potentially reducing your tax liability. Consult with your financial advisor to understand how leasing could benefit your specific tax situation.
- Maintenance and Repairs: INTERSTATE 365 offers lease options that include maintenance, so you can avoid unexpected repair costs. Some leases even offer full-service packages, where we handle all routine maintenance and breakdown support, allowing you to focus on your business.
Understanding Lease Terms and Conditions
- Lease Length: Our leases typically range from 12 months to 60 months, with options tailored to suit the operational needs of your business.
- Payment Structure: Payments are calculated based on the trailer’s value, lease length, and your specific requirements. These fixed payments provide cost predictability, making financial planning easier.
- End-of-Lease Options: When your lease term ends, you’ll have several options. You can choose to renew the lease, upgrade to a newer model, or purchase the trailer. If you choose to buy, a portion of your paid lease amount may be applied towards the purchase price.
- Maintenance and Insurance: Maintenance packages can be included, ensuring your trailer stays road-ready without any unexpected costs. Insurance requirements are clearly outlined, so you know exactly what is covered during your lease.
- Usage Restrictions: Each lease includes terms on the type of usage allowed, mileage limits (if any), and geographic coverage. These conditions are crafted to ensure the trailer is used responsibly and is well-maintained for future leasing needs.
