If the time requirement for a vehicle is beyond the scope of a rental, Americar Leasing
can accommodate this need. We are the largest independent Lessor in Central New York. We have
gained this prestige by providing professional fleet services as a standard with the lease. Highlights
are as follows:
- Closed End Leases
- Open End Leases
- Any make or model vehicle.
- Tailored lease terms and mileage allowances predicated on client need.
- Full Maintenance program, including temporary transportation.
Leasing of vehicles should be the primary means in which corporate vehicles are obtained. Leasing
offers cash liquidity, simplifies cost accounting, and transfers the risk of obsolescence.
On a Human Resource level, Americar has established, and currently maintains, an employee vehicle
lease program as a benefit for a number of area corporations. We have a proven track record of assisting
our clients with employee acquisition and retention.
VARIETY OF VEHICLES
Americar, as an independent lessor, is not restricted or beholding to any one manufacturer.
We can provide ANY vehicle, new or used. We specialize in finding the most cost-effective vehicle to
fulfill your specific requirements. Our offerings range from small sedans to medium duty trucks, including
alternative fuel vehicles, ensuring all aspects of your needs will be fulfilled.
New vehicles are ordered via the factory contingent upon your equipment and color specifications.
Used vehicles would be based upon availability within the confines of our sale and rental fleets.
DELIVERIES
The delivery of your lease vehicle will commence at Americar's location in North Syracuse. The vehicle
will be clean, inside and out, plated, registered, and delivered to your driver with a full tank of gas.
Americar staff will acquaint your driver with their new vehicle features, fluid level indicators and fill locations.
It is your option to have vehicles delivered to the driver's location. If you require this service, just
ask and we will provide you with all the details. Of course, outside deliveries will enjoy the same aforementioned
benefits as a delivery at our location.
MAINTENANCE
This comprehensive maintenance program can be available to your vehicles leased locally and on a closed-end
basis. All preventive maintenance and covered mechanical repairs are included. When a vehicle is in for service
a replacement vehicle is provided. The only exclusions to this program are:
- Tire Repairs and Damage
The program excludes tire repair and damage due to puncture. Please keep in mind that if a tire needs
to be replaced due to normal tread wear, it will be covered. Our maintenance program allows for two
to four tires, depending upon the total miles allowed under the lease. This even includes snow tires.
- Repairs Due to Collision or Abuse
Obviously, repairs due to collision or abuse are not covered under the full maintenance program.
- Maintenance of Fluid Levels
Between servicing, we ask that fluid levels are checked and fluids added and maintained.
- Gasoline
All fuels used in the lease vehicle or in the replacement vehicles will be the responsibility of the Lessee.
- Cleaning of Vehicle
Routine cleaning of the lease vehicle is not a covered expense. However, when your vehicle is in
for routine covered service, Americar will do a full interior and exterior cleaning after the service
is completed.
Your fleet vehicles that take advantage of this program will have to be garaged locally as all services
are rendered at Americar's facility in North Syracuse.
INSURANCE
Americar staff will handle all administrative aspects for your lease vehicle's insurance claims.
Your drivers will be required to complete an accident report, advise your appropriate individual,
advise your insurance company, and then call Americar directly.
Americar staff will handle the following:
- We will advise your driver where the vehicle needs to go for inspection and/or repair, if operational.
- We will arrange for the vehicle to be towed to a repair facility if the vehicle is not operational.
- We will arrange for your driver to be placed in a rental vehicle either the day of the accident or when we schedule the vehicle's repair. We will provide this vehicle at a discounted rental rate.
- Americar staff's expertise is second to none when dealing with insurance carriers. We will make sure the vehicle is seen by your adjuster and the repairs are authorized in a timely manner.
- We will come to an agreement with your carrier as to the repair or "total" amount for the vehicle.
- We will follow up directly with the repair facility to ensure the repairs are completed in a timely manner.
- We will advise your appropriate staff member of the developments of the claim as they occur.
Please keep in mind that we act as your "agent" by assisting you in the claim arbitration process.
Ultimately, the client would be liable for the damages on the vehicle and any deficit between
actual and allowed repair amounts, if any.
DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
Americar will provide and be responsible for all licensing requirements of your vehicles. We will
monitor all of the needs, work with drivers in affixing renewal stickers, etc., and bill your company
directly for these services. Every bill will be broken down to unit cost. Please keep in mind that under
our Closed End Maintenance Program, registrations are provided at NO CHARGE.
LEASE FLEET ASSESSMENT
We have the ability to amend closed end leases during its term if we discover that its real use
is not commensurate with its original pricing; there again, saving customers money by reducing costs.
The tracking of mileage and vehicle condition, and overall monitoring of every vehicle's usage, is one
of the services that our current customers find most beneficial in reducing their costs. This also will
prevent any vehicle from being used past its economic life.
SUMMARY
Americar’s leasing program will provide our customers with a comprehensive vehicle program. Our
services fall in line with our philosophy ... the vehicle itself is secondary; the services that
go along with the vehicle are primary.
