Building a fleet of commercial vehicles can be time-consuming and costly for any business. There are typically two ways of going about it – buying and renting. There are pros and cons to both these options and the one that is right for you would ultimately depend on how often you use the vehicle, what you use the vehicle for and whether your fleet is dependent on location.

Whilst you may think that buying is a smarter option, but let T G Commercials Self Drive’s team show you the wonderful benefits of renting. You might change your mind.

First and foremost, renting reduces the overall cost. Money is often the reason for choosing one method over another. You may think that renting a commercial truck or van is costlier than owning them, but let us give you a breakdown of the numbers when you purchase a truck.

• Most businesses purchase commercial vehicles on EMI or loans. The interest that you pay on these results in increasing the overall cost of the vehicle. In the end, you might be paying a lot more than the actual price of the vehicle.
• Maintenance of the vehicle is no mean feat. Every detail has to be looked after for the vehicle to be fit for the road. This regular maintenance costs a significant amount.
• Repairs and replacements of vehicle parts is another area where you could be losing money.
• The cost of annual insurance and licensing can become a real burden for your business.

These are some of the factors that affect the overall cost of owning a commercial vehicle. Now, take a look at the costs that you will be waived off by opting to rent a commercial truck from T G Commercials Self Drive.

• The total cost of the vehicle – As you are aware, commercial vehicles are costlier than buying a car. Trucks and lorries are heavy-duty vehicles and even if you are able to afford one, maintaining a fleet is not possible for all types of businesses, especially small and medium-sized. When you rent our trucks, vans or lorries, you only have to pay us your use of the vehicle. We retain the ownership of the vehicle. You just give us fixed rental money for the period in which you would be using the vehicle. This also means that you are not taking the headache of the depreciating cost of the vehicle. That is borne by us.
• Repairs, maintenance and replacement of parts – Buying a commercial vehicle is only the start of a long saga of expenses. This comes in the form of regular maintenance, small and major repairs and replacements. Replacement parts for such big vehicles are not cheap. Whilst the vehicle is within the warranty period, there is the assurance of getting high-quality parts for free or a negligible cost, but after that, you are entirely on your own. But, when you rent a truck from us for your business or even personal purposes, our team looks after the maintenance and repair works. We only provide our clients with vehicles that have been properly serviced and meet the highest specifications.
• Storage – If you are thinking of maintaining a fleet of commercial vehicles, you would have to get a storage place where they will be kept when not in use. This also comes with a hefty cost. By renting, you do not have to worry about storing the vehicle after you have finished using it. Just return it to us and we will do the rest.
