AMBULANCE FINANCING
Whether your department or organization is looking to purchase a new or used ambulance, we are committed to finding you the perfect emergency vehicle to suit your needs and budget. Often times, that means working with reputable third parties to secure the proper ambulance financing needed to purchase a unit. With over 35 years in the business, we’ve established a reliable network of Leasing and Finance organizations to partner with; we know the key contacts and have faith in these companies looking out for the best interests of our customers. After working with you to develop a proposal, we can arrange an introduction to one or more of these companies to get the ball rolling.
Looking to finance an ambulance purchase? Here are some things to consider:
- Ambulance financing should be considered during the design process. It’s easy to get swept up designing the ultimate emergency vehicle. However, this can blow your budget in no time. Come up with a list of “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves” and ensure your formal pricing is itemized. This will help you better assess how much you’re willing to finance or pay overall for your new ambulance.
- Do you have anything to offer? Ambunet is known for our used ambulance sales and exceptionally large in-stock inventory. If you have a used ambulance to trade-in towards the purchase of a new one, this can help you substantially.
- If you are commercial provider, no doubt your ambulance(s) will run hard. In fact, we often see our commercial clients needing to purchase a new unit after only six years or so. If your ambulance service is tough on emergency vehicles, we strongly advise you lease or finance for four to five years max.
- The application process from vendor to vendor can vary, but our sales experts are happy to assist you in compiling all the information needed on our end to move you through the ambulance financing process quickly and easily. If you’re on a tight timeline, this is important as other companies may hold up the process in pulling together the details needed on their end.
- Ask the right questions to know what the leasing/financing company specializes in and what the details terms are. Some focus specifically on tax-exempt municipal leases, which could benefit you long-term. If you bring in additional revenue in a fiscal year, will you be able to pay off the lease early? Familiarize yourself with industry standards and go in educated.
