TOTAL CONTROL

Why Rent to Own

Sensible + Flexible

Our Rent Now, Buy Later solution offers the benefit of manageable monthly rental payments, with the flexibility to choose; purchase, return or continue renting the equipment at the end of the rental term.

A Stake In Ownership Over Time

Your rental payments can be accruing towards a reduction in the cost of ownership, if you choose to purchase your equipment.

Operational Efficiency

Boost productivity with access to quality, late-model machinery equipped with the most innovative technology from your local dealer network.

CapEx Friendly

Avoid the CapEx and budget pressures that come with purchasing equipment outright. Like dry hire, rental is considered an operational expense, helping you stay within procurement limits without sacrificing access to equipment essential to operations.

Stay Compliant and Keep Moving

Meets procurement compliance requirements while ensuring uninterrupted service delivery, so critical projects and community services are delivered on time, without the hit to your budget.

Scalability

The Rent Now, Buy Later model allows you to adjust fleet requirements easily as your needs grow and change. The option to return the equipment at the end of the agreement makes asset disposal easy.
