Commercial Vehicle Leasing & Financing

Are you in the market for commercial vehicles? Through Enterprise Fleet Management, your business can not only lease vehicles to build your fleet, but secure financing that fits your company’s needs and goals.

What is Commercial Vehicle Leasing

Commercial Vehicle Leasing is when a company rents from a leasing company, like Enterprise Fleet Management, for a fixed time and at an agreed financed amount. It is a method to rent vehicles for a set period without ownership. Companies will make scheduled payments to the leasing company for the duration of the leasing term and return the vehicle once the lease term is complete.

Companies will not own the vehicle(s) outright at the end of their lease term, but there is an option for ownership if it was stipulated in their original agreement.
