Full-service leasing combines the use of an asset with specified support services under a lease agreement. Vehicle arrangements may include agreed maintenance or other operating support.

FULL-SERVICE LEASING IN PRACTICE

  1. Define the asset useSpecify equipment, term and workload.
  2. Review the service scopeIdentify maintenance and support commitments.
  3. Compare total commitmentsInclude exclusions, return conditions and fees.

Use the agreed units, actual records and approved procedures for your operation.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Maintenance included. Damage still needs terms.

A lease includes scheduled maintenance but has separate damage and return-condition provisions. The operator reviews those terms before treating the monthly payment as the complete cost of use.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOUR QUOTE

Agree the requirement before comparing quotes

Use the actual shipment, stock and service requirements. Record the billing unit, included work and responsibility for exceptions.
