Vehicle Wrap Financing Tips: How to Get the Most Out of Your Investment
Investing in a vehicle wrap is one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise your business, offering continuous exposure and brand recognition wherever you go. However, the initial cost—especially when wrapping multiple vehicles—can feel like a hurdle. The good news? There are several financing options available to help make the process more manageable and cost-effective.
Financing Your Vehicle Wrap: What You Need to Know
The best time to plan for a vehicle wrap is before you even purchase or lease your vehicle. Many dealerships and leasing companies allow wrap costs to be rolled into your vehicle financing, making it easier to manage payments and ensuring your branding is in place from day one. Here’s how you can take advantage of this option.
1. Work With Your Dealership or Leasing Company
Many dealerships and leasing companies recognize vehicle wraps as a necessary business expense and offer financing options to include them. In some cases:
- They will build a credit for vehicle graphics into your financing package.
- Some will pay the graphics vendor directly, treating the wrap as an upfit option, similar to ladder racks, shelving, or other commercial modifications.
- If you lease your vehicles, adding a wrap can be part of the leasing agreement, often making it easier to justify the cost.
At Air Graphix, we have established relationships with dealerships and leasing companies nationwide, helping to streamline this process and remove any hassle from your end.
2. Wraps Are Ideal for Leased Vehicles
If you’re leasing your vehicles, a vehicle wrap can actually help protect the original paint job, ensuring your vehicle maintains its resale value. Since lease terms typically fall within the lifespan of a high-quality wrap, removal at the end of the lease is simple and will leave your vehicle looking as good as new.
3. Be Proactive About Financing Options
To make the financing process as smooth as possible, consider the following:
- Talk to your dealership or leasing company early: Before finalizing your vehicle purchase or lease, ask about adding a wrap into your financing package. If they know this is a key factor in your decision, they’ll likely be willing to accommodate.
- Coordinate with your wrap vendor ahead of time: At Air Graphix, we work closely with businesses to finalize design details before vehicle delivery, ensuring your wraps are ready to go the moment your vehicles hit the road.
4. Alternative Financing Options
If your dealership or leasing company doesn’t offer wrap financing, don’t worry—there are other options available:
- Business loans or lines of credit: Many business owners use small business loans or lines of credit to finance vehicle wraps as part of their marketing budget.
- Third-party financing: Some wrap companies partner with financing providers to offer flexible payment plans.
- Leasing programs: If you’re leasing a fleet, some fleet leasing companies allow marketing expenses like vehicle wraps to be included in lease agreements.
