Fleet Vehicle Leasing

Cornell University Fleet Services provides efficient and cost-effective vehicle rentals, lease management, and maintenance services to university departments. Vehicle leasing (rental) services include acquisition, inspection, and maintenance. The fixed fee cost of a full service lease, plus fuel charge, is billed monthly.
