Long-Term Lease, Explained
Dependable Capacity On A 1–5 Year Lease
We lease trucks, trailers, and sets for 1 to 5 years on a self-drive basis. Scheduled servicing, fair tyre wear, general maintenance, registration, and a current CoF are included for the full term, so your fleet stays road-ready without in-house workshop overheads.
We operate nationwide on permit-compliant routes from our Tamahere, Waikato base. You provide proof of insurance before collection and we agree a kilometre cap in the contract, pricing with a base weekly or monthly rate plus dollars-per-kilometre for Road User Charges and maintenance.
- Lease terms from 1 month to 5 years — lease-only or lease-to-buy
- Scheduled servicing, maintenance, registration, and CoF included for the term
- Permits arranged where required; curtain and cab colour builds available on 5-year leases
Fleet Planning Without The Capital Outlay
Why Choose A Long-Term Lease From SS Rentals
A long-term lease suits operators who want dependable capacity for a project, contract, or growing fleet without the upfront cost of buying a truck outright.
Every lease runs on the same clear structure as our shorter hires: transparent GST-exclusive pricing, permits arranged where your route needs them, and a straightforward pickup and return process from our Tamahere, Waikato yard.
