Leasing a commercial vehicle in Singapore isn’t just cheaper-or-not-than buying — it’s a decision about who carries maintenance risk, how modification allowances work, and what’s actually in the contract before you sign. This section covers how to evaluate a leasing company on fleet discounts, SLAs, maintenance coverage and financial stability; the real differences between operating and finance leases; a full leasing-versus-buying comparison for Singapore fleets; and the contract clauses — tyre entitlements, modification allowances, early termination terms — that are easy to skip past and expensive to get wrong.
