How to Lease a Concrete Truck Mixer

Anytime that you are looking for access to ready cash, leasing of any kind is a great option.  Large construction vehicles are a niche market, and leasing them is a sound option for people new or old to the construction business.

1. Gather capital for the down payment of the concrete truck mixer. Not all leasing companies require down payments, but be prepared to pay a small fee. The down payment for leasing the concrete truck mixer will usually be smaller than the down payment for buying the concrete truck mixer. Most leasing companies that require a down payment for leasing will charge somewhere in the area of 2% of the truck's worth. If the truck is worth $20,000, the down payment for leasing will be $400.


2. Choose a truck that is worth more than the company’s minimum. Most companies that provide the leasing option have a minimum value. The minimum value tends to be reasonably low. In any case when choosing the concrete truck mixer of choice, ensure that there is capital available to afford the vehicle. 


3. Choose the type of service lease wanted. A fully-serviced lease will cover all repairs, insurance, maintenance and training in one payment. This option makes it easier to streamline available capital. To save on lease payments one can always choose net lease. A net lease does not include all of the features of maintenance, training, insurance and many other options available in the fully-serviced lease. Take into consideration that if the concrete truck mixer breaks down then there is a great chance that a large repair bill will be occurred, so it is often better to get the fully-serviced lease option if available.
