Here the municipality as title owner, is allowed to structure leases with no wear fees and a clear route to ownership.
Our dedicated fleet services team will work with you to find the perfect leasing structure to fit your organization’s needs. Through a detailed fleet analysis, we deliver tailored recommendations that maximize efficiency and value. Let’s get started today.
Three common lease options are Open-End Leases, Closed-End Leases, and Municipal Leases. Each can serve fleets effectively, but the best choice depends on how your vehicles are used, how predictable your mileage is, and how much budget certainty you need. Fear not, our fleet leasing specialists will give you a detailed recommended lease term built for your organization’s success.
For agencies with unpredictable or heavy vehicle use, Open-End leases provide flexibility and control so you can manage wear and mileage without stress.
Best fit: Fleets with high utilization, specialized upfitting needs, or operational demands where mileage, wear, and usage patterns are difficult to predict and manage within fixed limits.
Tradeoffs: Closed-End have stricter mileage and wear limits than standard leases – making this option better for fleets with low, predictable mileage that receive minimal wear and tear.
Here the municipality as title owner, is allowed to structure leases with no wear fees and a clear route to ownership.
Benefit: Buyout leasing provides municipality-held titles, potential interest rate deductions, and no wear and tear clauses, creating a simple, ownership-focused path with flexible funding options.
When it comes to fleet management, the real question isn’t “What kind of lease can we get?” but “How will this lease structure support our mission, budget, and operations?”
Here, we put our clients first. That means we don’t push one-size-fits-all financing, we help you choose the lease structure that keeps your vehicles on the road, reduces administrative hassle, and delivers the most value over the life of your fleet.
If your organization values predictable costs and easy budgeting, a Closed-End Lease may be the better option. If your agency needs flexibility and freedom from mileage restrictions, an Open-End Lease often makes more sense.
Both structures can be tailored and we’ll help align the right option with your operation’s needs.
Leasing is only one piece of the puzzle. The real value comes from how the lease structure supports fleet management as a whole. At D&M, we work with you to:
