Founded in 1980, PacLease is a leading provider of commercial truck leasing and rental services, operating as part of PACCAR Inc. Based in Bellevue, Washington, PacLease initially launched with just 17 locations and has since expanded its reach considerably.
The company specializes in offering tailored leasing solutions, commercial truck rentals, and all-inclusive maintenance services, with a focus on premium trucks from Kenworth and Peterbilt.
What sets PacLease apart is its commitment to customizing services to address the unique needs of its customers, combined with the dependability of PACCAR's top-tier trucks. This approach has been a key factor in the company’s substantial growth.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.
PacLease, through PACCAR Leasing, provides a comprehensive training program designed to support its franchisees in operating a truck leasing and rental business. These include both initial and ongoing educational opportunities across various operational areas:
PacLease does not offer its franchisees exclusive territorial protection. Franchisees may face direct competition from other PacLease franchisees, company-owned outlets, or alternative distribution channels under PACCAR Leasing’s control.
These competing entities may operate under different trademarks and can market similar products and services within the same geographic area.
Additionally, PACCAR Leasing is not required to compensate franchisees for any business they may lose due to these competitive overlaps. The franchise is granted for a specific location rather than a defined territory, and approval from PACCAR Leasing is required for establishing or relocating any outlets.
