Benefit from the following leasing choices for your cars and trucks:
Open-End Lease: One of the most efficient and economical methods of vehicle financing. It combines the flexibility of ownership with the cash flow and tax benefits of leasing. Open-End Lease benefits include:
- No over-mileage penalties
- No wear-and-tear fines
- Fixed or floating-rate financing available.
Fixed TRAC Lease: TRAC (Terminal Rental Adjustment Clause) lease for over-the-road cars, trucks, and trailers. This is the most common type of lease for business owners who want all the flexibility of ownership and all of the benefits of leasing:
- No over-mileage penalties
- No wear-and-tear fines
- Fixed-rate financing for the entire lease term.
Fixed FMV (Closed-End) Lease: Used for Non-titled equipment in addition to over-the-road cars, trucks, and trailers. This is the most common type of lease for business owners who want to eliminate residual risk while maintaining all of the benefits of leasing:
- Donlen assumes residual risk
- Fixed-rate financing for the entire lease term.
- Applicable to a wide range of assets.
Self-Funded Lease: Designed for companies that prefer to use their own capital while maintaining the operational and administrative advantages of a lease program, the Donlen Self-Funded Program is funded through our customer’s own bank relationships or the organization’s own financial resources.
