Truck rentals and truck leasing solve the same thing: providing additional truck capacity to meet your business demands for the time period of your choosing. Trying to decide whether renting or leasing would serve your business best? McMahon Truck Leasing in Nashville can help you with that choice. We rent and lease a wide range of trucks to commercial accounts (not individuals).
Here are the main factors to consider when you want to expand your fleet via renting or leasing.
How Often and How Long Do You Need the Truck?
Truck rentals offer you an immediate solution for temporary business needs: periods of peak demand, a truck down, seasonal spikes, or new market opportunities. If your business requires an additional truck or trucks more than three days a week, leasing typically will be more economical and convenient for you.
At McMahon Truck Leasing in Nashville, you can rent for a day or up to a year. Daily rentals are the most common and 70% of McMahon truck rentals are for under two weeks. Rentals are an agreement, not a contract, so you can return rentals at any time.
Typical leasing contracts are from 2 – 6 years years. The leases we handle at McMahon Truck Centers average 5-6 years. At the end of your leasing contract, you can simply walk away, potentially extend the lease, or start a new lease with a newer truck, or buy the truck you were leasing, or buy a different truck from McMahon…whatever suits your business.
McMahon Covers Your Service Either Way
When you rent or lease a truck from McMahon Truck Centers, you don’t have to worry about repairs and preventative maintenance. Service is covered for both rentals and leased trucks, except for damages. Not only that, we also make the service convenient for you. Our McMahon Mobile Service trucks often bring the service to you. We always work to maximize your uptime.
Leasing a truck from McMahon offers additional peace of mind: if your truck is down, we’ll provide a rental truck (mileage charges only). And if you are far from Nashville, we can still help you. McMahon is part of NationaLease, and the Mack/Volvo Leasing national network, so, when you lease a truck from McMahon we are able to assist you from almost anywhere in the country.
Do You Want to Customize the Truck?
An advantage of leasing over rentals is that at McMahon we will spec leased trucks specifically for your operation. You can even customize the exterior of box trucks, so they are billboards for your company.
What Type of Truck Do You Need?
At McMahon Truck Leasing, you can choose from a variety of top-brand trucks for leasing and renting. We make sure the trucks have the latest tech and are at peak performance and fuel efficiency.
McMahon offers you everything from 16-26 Foot Box and Flatbed trucks, day cab and sleeper tractors, as well as dump trucks and yard tractors for renting and leasing. We also rent and lease dump trucks, and other vehicles depending on what our customers need.
Leasing Versus Buying a Truck
More fleets are looking at truck leasing as an operational model, because leasing allows you to focus on managing your business, not your trucks. McMahon’s turnkey truck leasing program takes care of almost everything about truck management for you, including:
- Acquiring the truck

- Financing
- All maintenance (except damages)

- Compliance
- Licensing
