Benefits of Renting versus Lease/Purchase
Transfer burden & costs of ownership
Ownership requires a capital investment to cover the direct costs of equipment
. . . BUTRenting keeps the burden of buying, maintaining, and
Selling the equipment on the rental business, not on the customer
20
Federal Acquisition Service

Federal Acquisition Service
Benefits of Renting versus Lease/Purchase Environmentally Friendly – “Clean & Green”
Because rental equipment is newer, renting instead of buying insures that customers have access to the most fuel-efficient and emission controlled equipment on the market
All rental stores in California with certain types of equipment are required to be in compliance with CARB regulations
• These regulations can be implemented in other parts of the U.S.

26
Federal Acquisition Service
Fleet Management Metrics Time Utilization: the percentage of time a piece of
equipment is rented or at a job site.
Dollar Utilization: the cost of a piece of equipment new divided by the revenue generated by that piece of equipment.
Average Fleet Age: the age in months of a piece of equipment.
27
Federal Acquisition Service
Rental Fleet Averages
The average construction rental fleet has a time utilization of 55-65 percent.
The average dollar utilization of a rental fleet is about $0.45.
The average age of a construction rental fleet is just under 35 months.
28
Federal Acquisition Service
Factors to Evaluate
Estimate the time utilization of the equipment you want to acquire.
Determine the rental rate (day, week, month) of the equipment based on how it is used.
Determine the total cost of acquiring the equipment through a purchase or lease.
29
Federal Acquisition Service
Decision Rules If the annual cost of rental charges divided by
acquisition cost is less than $0.45, consider renting. If your estimated time utilization is less than 55
percent, consider renting If your jobs are varied and require special equipment,
consider renting. If your fleet’s diesel emissions are controlled by
regulation, consider renting.
