Frequently Asked Questions
At Alpine Leasing we believe in being very upfront in terms of what you’re paying for. We don’t want renters to be surprised at the costs associated with a rental. The three main areas a renter is paying for are:
• The truck itself either day, weekly, monthly
• The usage of the rental unit. This is calculated by how much the truck is driven. A kilometer fee is used.
• The Licensing Fee, this is calculated daily to cover the cost of the license plates that are provided on the truck at the time of pick up. (For long term rentals, the renter can purchase their own plates to cover their needs and no license fee is charged)
No problem, Alpine can deliver the unit where it is needed for the renter. The distance of the delivery will be calculated and added to the invoice for the rental.
In nearly all rentals the truck is handed over to the renter with a full tank of fuel and a full tank of DEF fluid. The most cost-effective way to bring back the rental is with those same levels. If this is not possible for the renter Alpine can refill the unit back up to the full levels, the costs of the refill are charged back to the renter.
We plate our rental units for Ontario only, at present we do not have units with PRP plates on them ready to go for renters. If a renter would like to put their own PRP plates on a rental unit we can accommodate that for renters.
We recommend setting up a meeting with our agent to complete a customer initialization process. This takes care of credit, insurance and contact information requirements before starting a rental contract.
For most rental handoffs it is a quick process of roughly 10 minutes, a few forms do need to be signed by the renter at the time of pick up and a circle check around the unit is done to check for anything that is already on the unit. The starting fuel, DEF levels and current odometer reading are all written down and then you’re ready to roll.

Two ways a rental truck from Alpine can be insured. The first way is the customer can use their business insurance provider to cover the rental. The form we typically need to get in place is the OPCF-27 form for short term renting. If the renter cannot provide coverage for the rental Alpine has an option offering coverage for added cost to the renter.
