How It Works
Leasing & Funding Program

Lease your vehicles through Merchants with flexible leasing and funding terms to fit your institution’s needs. When you lease, you only pay for the portion of the vehicle that you use and access a full suite of fleet management services, all in one simple package.

Own-to-Lease Program
Sell Owned Vehicles & Lease Them Back
If you have vehicles you currently own, you can free up cash flow for your organization through Merchants Fleet’s Own-to-Lease Program. Merchants will purchase your organization’s owned vehicles, providing a quick cash infusion through the sale. Those vehicles are then leased back to you with lease structures that make sense for the remaining useful life of the vehicles. The entire process is completed with minimal hassle and without disrupting your organization’s day-to-day operations.
Benefits
Sell Program
We Will Buy Your Un-Needed Vehicles
If you have a vehicle you no longer need, Merchants has a unique remarketing program to purchase it from you. Get cash now through our quick and easy process that saves you the hassle of selling at auction or other resale outlets.
