Construction vehicle leasing is the process of leasing a construction vehicle for construction purposes. This is a bright alternative to outrightly buying a construction vehicle. Leasing construction vehicle is similar to leasing out a commercial car. The lease contracts usually run up to four to five years after which you may make a balloon payment to procure the vehicle. The lessor maintains and handles repairs of the vehicle. But you will be held responsible for keeping the vehicle in good condition.
In general, if you are not using your vehicle 70 to 80 percent of the time, you will do better off leasing it. If you take up a project which is at a considerable distance from your place, leasing construction vehicle will not cost you much transportation charges.
