Nonetheless, if you decide to go for commercial car leasing, then you should know that there are two options that the leasing company will offer you. An open lease or a closed lease.
Yet, before you make the final step, you will have to have in mind the following information about the car:
- The manufacturer’s suggested rental price;
- Down payment;
- Final negotiated price of the vehicle;
- Usage tax;
- Length of the lease;
- Car value at the end of the term- that is to say the residual value;
Hence, before signing any commercial car leasing contract you will have to make a choice between open lease or a closed lease.
