Merchants Fleet Management launched a new rental program designed for industries in need of light-duty, all-wheel drive trucks. The new program offers flexible rental terms for top-quality vehicles, along with a variety of customized options.
Fleet customers can take advantage of such features as unlimited mileage, off-road use, custom upfitting, added safety equipment, and 24/7 roadside assistance with terms ranging from as brief as two months up to long-term lease agreements.
“Merchants has always been committed to flexibility and creativity so we can put customers in the right vehicles, with the right lease terms,” said John Cail, vice president of mobility at Merchants. “The addition of this truck rental program builds on that commitment, and we can deliver more unique mobility solutions to companies that need reliable work trucks.”
The program will be available nationwide, with rental trucks shipped from Oklahoma, Texas, and the Northeast. Trucks offered include the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD.
