Is there such a thing as "leasing" a lorry?

[goneshowjumping]

been talking to a friend and she said you can "lease" lorries.
i need a lorry but financially have not got the outlay at the moment yet leasing sounded a good idea, would be looking to lease for a year or so.
i thought though this was only available to businesses though?
maybe i could advertise for someone who has a lorry, but does not use it, and it would lease it for a monthly fee maybe?
does this exsist???

Yes you can "lease" a lorry, but there are criteria that usually apply including a deposit and if its the leasing i think you are meaning you have a settlement to come out.

Its usually over 3-4 years, has mileage restrictions and they prefer newer lorries.

Interesting- ive never thought of this.

yes i have heard of leasing for businesses but not for one off people. if anyone has any websites they know of where i could read up on this.

Rent right in Newmarket will hire/lease out a lorry for a long period of time as well as doing day hire - have found them to be really friendly when using day hire and the lorries always very clean and drive well

Yep some large companies hire them out for the season.

Also, a few hunt people hire their lorries out over the summer [april-august] when they don't need it also for cheaper than the 'big' companies.
