Lease-to-Own Car Hauler FAQ
These answers explain the program at a high level. Your signed agreement controls the final terms.
How does lease-to-own work for a car hauler trailer?
+
You select an eligible trailer and fixed term, complete approval and insurance requirements, sign the agreement, and make the required payments. After all obligations in the signed agreement are completed, ownership transfers according to that agreement.
What lease-to-own car haulers are available through FleetWize?
+
Published options include 3-car Kaufman and Buckeye wedge trailers and 5-car Sun Country AV5-2 and NG5-2 trailers. Inventory changes, so confirm the exact unit and model year before applying.
How much is the down payment?
+
Published down payments currently range from $2,000 for eligible 2024 Kaufman plans to $5,000 for eligible 2025 Sun Country plans. The amount depends on the trailer, model year, term, approval, and written agreement.
Can I choose a shorter term?
+
Current 3-car plans include 12- and 18-month options. Current 5-car Sun Country plans show a 40-month term. Available terms can change and are subject to the specific unit and agreement.
What documents should I prepare?
+
Be ready with a valid driver’s license or CDL, business formation documents, EIN documentation, MC and DOT information, and a compliant Certificate of Insurance. FleetWize may request additional documents.
Is lease-to-own the same as a month-to-month lease?
+
No. A month-to-month lease prioritizes flexibility and does not automatically end in ownership. Lease-to-own uses a fixed term and a defined ownership path under the signed agreement.
Where do I pick up the trailer?
+
Pickup is arranged at the FleetWize trailer lot at 4140 W 52nd St, Chicago, IL 60632, United States after approval, insurance verification, and agreement completion.
Are tires, insurance, and maintenance included?
+
No. FleetWize’s published model notes state that tires, physical damage insurance, and maintenance are not included in the rental price. Review the agreement for exact responsibilities.
Does submitting an application guarantee approval or a specific trailer?
+
No. Approval and unit availability are not guaranteed by submitting the form. FleetWize confirms eligibility, documents, insurance, inventory, and final terms before an agreement is signed.
