For many organisations, buying access vehicles is simply inefficient: the cost of maintenance grows rapidly over time, and the hefty investment makes it financially challenging to upgrade to new vehicles when the moment comes. 

An alternative you may not have considered could be to lease your access vehicles, giving you the best combination of quality, flexibility and long-term security possible, whilst spreading the vehicle cost over time.

However, not everybody realises they can lease essential products like vehicle mounted access platforms or pole erection units. So we’ve put together this short guide to help you understand how leasing with Access Lease works and what benefits you can expect.

How leasing works

Leasing access vehicles is similar to short-term hire, but spans a longer period and is typically at a lower average monthly cost. You decide what deposit you would like to initially pay, followed by regular monthly payments throughout the term of the lease. At the end of your contract, you simply return your vehicles and decide whether you’d like to upgrade to a newer model.

This is ideal for those who currently own their vehicles and want to replace them, but find the cost commitment of brand new vehicles out of reach.  It’s also great for those who are used to short-term hiring and wish to get more control over their long-term finances.

Here are three key benefits our clients see when leasing access vehicles from us:

Three key benefits of leasing from Access Hire

1.  Get the best products cost effectively

The best vehicle mounted access platforms can be expensive, especially if you are borrowing to fund, or using cash reserves which could be alternatively used to help grow your business.  This can lead to many organisations having to settle for second best. Leasing enables you to access the most up-to-date, modern  products, without the cost barriers associated with buying. You get the quality you need for a price you can manage.

This also means you can upgrade to a new model when your contract is done, without any excessive balloon payments to worry about. So, you will never risk missing out on exciting new technologies or falling behind the competition. 

2.  Manage your money more easily

Leasing allows you to spread the cost of your access vehicles , ensuring your income always keeps up with your payments. This provides you with the stability to do long-term budget planning, and ultimately make your operation run more smoothly.

Many of our clients also find they are able to deduct the full lease rental cost from their taxable income or claim capital allowances on the asset cost. Such savings pile up across a full fleet, unlocking the potential for far greater financial efficiency.

3.  Fully inclusive safety and maintenance support

At Access Lease, our lease contracts include full maintenance coverage, meaning we ensure your products are fully compliant with all regulation and safety standards. We also provide 24/7 support to ensure you are never left waiting around for help or the technical assistance you require.

Not having to worry about booking inspections or critical work means you can simply focus on your projects, freeing up valuable time and resources in your business, taking pressure off your management team whilst providing you with peace of mind.  This makes leasing vehicles from Access Lease a major time and cost saver for your business.
