The Benefits of Vehicle Leasing for Your Business and Staff

Every day more business leaders are turning to vehicle leasing as a solid option for providing their company with the tools needed to conduct daily operations. Commercial vehicle leasing offers a range of benefits, and many businesses see it as a more viable option than purchasing company vehicles outright.

Commercial auto leasing companies offer many different options that are tailored to fit the budgets of companies large and small. If you are looking at acquiring vehicles for your company, here are a few considerations on vehicle leasing to keep in mind.

Affordability

The first concern that a business owner has when looking at acquiring a new company asset is how that asset will affect his or her company’s bottom line. Purchasing new company vehicles is very costly, and it’s not always the best option for businesses.

If a company has many employees that will all need a vehicle for work, then many small businesses choose auto leasing as a smart business decision that won’t break the bank. By managing the total lease expenses in one monthly payment, smaller business are awarded purchasing that will go much further.

Forecast Cash Flow

There can be hidden costs associated with commercial vehicles, and these can impact cash flow and expenses. Leasing vehicles from Canadian leasing companies makes forecasting cash flows easier and more predictable. Set payments and maintenance costs are accounted for, so keeping the budget balanced isn’t a treacherous prospect.

The Importance of Adding Safety Features to your Leased Vehicle Fleet

For companies operating a fleet of leased vehicles, the importance of leasing high-use cars and trucks with collision avoidance features is obvious. Any leasing company in Calgary, or anywhere else in Canada, providing businesses with leased vehicles can reiterate the importance of choosing vehicles designed with safety in mind. That’s because no matter how good of a manager or business owner you are, you can’t always control the actions of people driving vehicles branded with your company name.

A credible vehicle leasing company will have access to a wide variety of vehicle makes and models, that come with collision avoidance systems as standard features. For example, consider the combination collision avoidance system. This vehicle feature uses front-facing sensors in a pre-collision system that alerts drivers when their car or truck is getting too close to the vehicle in front of them. If a driver is distracted by things happening on the road, not paying attention or simply unable to respond to the dashboard warning in time, the available technology in the vehicle will be able to automatically apply the brakes and avoid a collision. This is a great feature for commercial vehicles and the drivers who operate them, as well as for sales and marketing teams who spend a lot of time going mobile to service clients.

Tips for Reducing Fuel Costs

Maintaining your vehicle fleet and safety standards for your drivers doesn’t come cheap, but by implementing a few important habits and regular techniques on your vehicles, you can save money on fuel.  Start by making sure you take your vehicles in for regular maintenance and have routine tune ups done, including replacing spark plugs and fuel filters as per the manufacturer’s service recommendations. Take things one step further by making sure you are selecting the right vehicles for your fleet, taking into consideration what you will be using the vehicles for.  Once you have the fleet under your management, take some time to train your drivers: instruct them on driving techniques, such as not revving the engine, and avoiding excess speeding; encourage drivers to maintain consistent speed, avoiding regularly speeding up and slowing down, and also focusing on driving smoothly. Finally, avoid idling whenever possible, and don’t forget that vehicles do not require premium fuel to run optimally.

Pre-Owned Luxury Cars – Satisfying Your Company’s Financial Plan

You have two objectives; organize your luxury vehicle fleet, and save the company money. Either way, leasing pre-owned luxury cars through a fleet leasing company rather than purchasing your fleet is smart business.  

For starters, the rebates and concessions offered by a dealership on brand new high vehicles – particularly on imports – are not always advantageous. Working with a luxury used car dealership may not offer any advantage either. Dealerships do not always offer leasing options on new vehicles, whereas a fleet leasing company is there to ensure you get a custom leasing option every time. High-high-end cars also depreciate most heavily in the first year. Working with a fleet leasing company can help off-set this massive hit to your bottom line.

Fleet leasing companies also have access to a nationwide vendor network from which to find the vehicles you’re looking for. They can do all the legwork involved in sourcing out exactly the type of quality pre-owned luxury vehicles that fit your need and your budget. Learn more. Visit Jim Peplinski Leasing.

Fit For Purpose Vehicles

Life is about choices. So, too, is finding fit for purposes vehicles. When you work with a Canadian leasing company rather than the dealer, chances are you’ll get exactly what you want every time.

A commercial vehicle leasing company offers you choice. A dealership, on the other hand, usually offers you one brand. If you go to a GM dealer in an effort to stock your fleet with vehicles, you’re most likely going to be offered GM vehicles. A commercial vehicle leasing company is not tied to brands. Their goal is to find you exactly what you need, whether that’s reliable pickup trucks, cars, SUVs or service vehicles.
The most important factor when developing your fleet is securing “fit-for-purpose” vehicles. You don’t want sales people racking up 50,000km a year in a gas guzzling car, or carting tool boxes around in luxury sedans.  

Find the right vehicles.  Visit Jim Peplinski Leasing.
