Does your business need fleet vehicles? A fleet vehicle is a vehicle that is owned by an organization and is used for that organization’s work. Fleet vehicles can range in size and purpose, from the buses used by a city in their public transportation system to the small sedans offered by a car rental company. Service vans, taxicabs, police cars, delivery trucks, limos, backhoes, and government vehicles can all be classified as fleet vehicles.
If your business is in need of trucks to transport goods, materials, or equipment, Summit Fleet can offer you cost-effective options with fleet vehicle rentals. Read on to learn some of the advantages fleet truck rentals can offer you and how to get started with the process.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Fleet Vehicle Rental?
Fleet vehicles can be very helpful to any business, especially if your business works with pipelines, electrical infrastructure, construction materials, engineering equipment, oil, gas, or mining machinery. A fleet of vehicles at your disposal means that you can transport materials and complete projects on time without having to coordinate schedules with other transportation services.
Owning fleet vehicles can quickly become expensive, however. A fleet vehicle requires regular maintenance, licensing and registration, repairs, and fuel. You may have to hire an in-house fleet manager to handle all of these tasks or add the duties of a fleet manager to a current employee’s already-long list of responsibilities. And at the end of the day, you may not even use your fleet often enough to justify these costs.
Fortunately, you can still enjoy the benefits of operating a fleet — and stay within your budget — with the option of fleet vehicle rental. Renting your fleet vehicles offers the following advantages:
- Regular maintenance: Maintenance and repairs are taken care of by your rental company before you rent the vehicle at no cost to you.
- Clean inside and out: Each fleet vehicle comes to you squeaky clean and free of contaminants, clutter, and other potential hazards.
- Clear vehicle history form: You don’t have to worry about your vehicle’s accident or repair history impairing its function.
- No long-term commitments: If you’re working with fleet vehicles for the first time, you can experiment with how a fleet might change your business model without having to make a big financial commitment.
Renting a fleet instead of buying it may mean that you don’t get to enjoy some of the luxury options on the market, and you’ll have to come back and rent again whenever you need a fleet vehicle. But if your big projects come irregularly or your company is somewhat small, fleet vehicle rentals may be the best option for you.
