Lease-to-Buy, Explained

Lease Today, Own It At The End Of Term

We offer lease-to-buy on selected, approved units for 1 to 5 years. You run the vehicle on a self-drive basis while paying a base rate plus dollars-per-kilometre for Road User Charges and maintenance — the same pricing structure as our other hires.

At the end of the term, you complete the purchase as agreed in the contract. Optional add-ons, along with custom curtain and cab colour branding, apply to lease-to-buy and 5-year lease deals only, and are agreed in writing per unit.

It runs on the same clear structure as our other hires: transparent GST-exclusive pricing, scheduled servicing and CoF included, and a straightforward pickup and return process from our Tamahere, Waikato yard.

What Customers Say About Lease-to-Buy

Operators on how lease-to-buy gave them a clear, predictable path toward owning their vehicle.

Happy Customers

Real feedback from transport operators.

"We compared lease-to-buy with short-term hire and chose a three-month hire for a Hamilton distribution contract. The guide rate plus per-km RUC and maintenance gave predictable costs. Scheduled servicing and CoF were included, and we insured the unit. The process from quote to handover was straightforward and professional."

Ethan Mitchell

Lease-To-Buy Customer

"We're an events logistics team with irregular runs. The time-and-mileage option worked well, using the same per-km matrix for RUC and maintenance. The joint inspection, photos, and defect reporting process built confidence. Nationwide permit-compliant routing meant we could commit to tight schedules without over-committing capital."
