Van Leasing

You could be riding to work in a free vehicle if you lease a 15-person luxury van from TRAFFIX. We'll help you find passengers to start a vanpool and determine what fees to charge. When you charge the right fees, your van is paid for, plus your fuel and maintenance, too. And right now deep discounts are available, so call TRAFFIX at 1-800-700-RIDE and get your application today.

Benefits

  • During rush hours, you get to zip to and from work in the HOV-2 lanes.
  • Besides getting to work and back, you can use the van for your personal transportation.
  • Insurance and maintenance is included in the lease, and TRAFFIX will supply you with a loaner van if the leased van ever needs to go into the shop for repairs.
  • Van leasing saves you money by covering or, at the very least, reducing your commute costs.
