What distinguishes renting from buying?

Many prospective customers initially assume that buying is the only option. In reality, the decision depends on five factors: 

  1. Duration of use: Short-term or long-term?
  2. Flexibility: Will your demand remain stable?
  3. Budget: Investment vs. monthly fixed costs
  4. Planning reliability: How secure is your demand in 12–36 months?
  5. Effort: Do you want to take care of service and maintenance yourself? 

These factors determine which model is more economical for you.
