This blog is the second post in a two-part series on options for purchasing, leasing, renting and refurbishing an Ottawa Yard Truck. Last week, we discussed the advantages and disadvantages of buying new vs. buying refurbished. You can check out that post here: Ottawa Yard Trucks | Buying New vs. Refurbished. Today, we will discuss the different advantages of renting vs. leasing an Ottawa Yard Truck.

Renting or leasing an Ottawa Yard Truck can be a good choice, especially for the short term. With less responsibility and less risk, you can drive a new (or used) model for less.

Advantages of Renting an Ottawa Yard Truck

• Flexibility: By renting a yard truck, you have less commitment, as you can stop renting the truck at any time.
• This is a great option when your fleet breaks down and you need a replacement for a short period of time.
• At Louisville Switching, all of our rental and lease agreements are full-service maintenance agreements, so you can be sure that your truck will operate efficiently.
  
• Rental units can be used for peak season needs with no long term commitment.

Advantages of Leasing an Ottawa Yard Truck

• Stability: The terms of the lease are set so you don't have to guess or be surprised.
• Enjoy full-service maintenance when you lease a yard truck at Louisville Switching.
• You can pay less for a brand new (or used) yard truck.
• Monthly payments can be budgeted.
• Leasing is a way to enjoy the latest technology and safety features at a lower overall cost.
• At the end of your lease, you simply turn the yard truck in without having to worry about selling it.
• Your monthly payment can be expensed rather than having to deal with depreciating the cost of the asset over time.
• The lease term for the Ottawa can be configured to parallel your spotting contract.
