Rentals & Leasing
To successfully manage your business, you need financial and operational flexibility. That’s why we offer a variety of rental and lease options to choose from. Explore the many advantages of renting and leasing, then choose the option that works best for you.
Rentals
When you rent, you enjoy the freedom of not having any specific time or equipment obligations. It’s simple. Your rental ends when you return the trailer. This is an excellent way to handle your seasonal or unexpected peak business periods and assists in controlling the growth of your trailer fleet.
Operating Lease
An operating lease provides your business with added flexibility and is usually your lowest monthly lease payment option. It’ll also keep trailer debt from showing on your balance sheet. And, with an operating lease, you won’t have any concerns about owning equipment you don’t permanently need. As an added benefit, an operating lease allows for early termination and equipment swap options, as well as full-service or net/net maintenance programs.
Lease with Purchase Option
When you choose a lease with purchase option, your rate will be a little higher. This is because we must target the option value of your equipment several years down the road and assume all risks regarding the value of the equipment when the lease expires. This gives you enormous flexibility because you can either purchase the trailer or return it with no penalty when the lease ends. With a lease purchase option, early termination is also available.

Service
It is one thing to supply the equipment, but it is another to keep it running and performing to the highest standards. Breakdowns are inevitable, but it is how your partners respond that makes all the difference. At Atlantic we pride ourselves on the exceptional quality and level of service we provide each of our rental and lease customers. Our breakdown representatives have years of experience and can leverage that experience to make sure that the technicians have what they need to get the job done right the first time thus reducing your downtime.
Whether you are around the corner or thousands of miles away we have the ability to have you back up and running on the road in the shortest possible time. Our fleet of reefer and trailer service trucks maintain and repair equipment within our operational footprint. When a service issue occurs outside of that area we utilize our national network of repair vendors to get you back up and running with the minimum downtime.
