Advantages of Bus Leasing

Why a lease often makes more sense than a purchase loan.

Lower Monthly Payments
Because you only pay for the portion of the bus that you actually use, your monthly payments are considerably lower than they would be for a purchase loan.
100% Financing
Most leases simply require first and last month's payment in advance plus a small documentation fee.
Preserves Credit Lines
Credit lines with banks and other depository institutions are precious and difficult to establish, so preserve them for working capital.
Increased Purchasing Power
Your needs may require the capabilities of a $120,000 bus but your available cash/credit only allows for a $60,000 bus. Leasing closes that gap.
Convenient
All that is required to start is a one-page application.
Hedge Against Inflation
You do not pay for ownership on a vehicle that consistently depreciates.
Fewer Maintenance Headaches
Your vehicle always has Powertrain coverage, and you don't have to worry.
Tax Advantages
Your business is only taxed on the portion of the value that you use during your lease.
Keep Your Fleet Up To Date
Leasing vehicles for five years or less keeps them looking great for your riders with lower maintenance costs.

  • Sales tax is billed monthly.
Short-Term Lease
A ready-to-run vehicle when you need one right away.
  • Arrives licensed and DOT-stickered, ready to operate.
  • Delivery available.
  • Flexible weekly and/or monthly terms.
  • Ideal while your customized vehicle is being built.
Operational Lease
A true operating lease that keeps your options open at term-end.
  • Keeps the vehicle off your balance sheet.
  • Licensing options available.
  • Vehicles can be wrapped (but not painted).
