Why Buy Indoor or Outdoor Entrance Floor Mats instead of Rent them?


Why would a company choose to buy their indoor and outdoor scraper entrance mats instead of rent them? You do the math.

Buying vs. Renting: Did you know that to rent a 4' x 6' entrance floor mat the cost is on average $5.00 per week or about $260.00 annually. Most floor mat rental companies require a three year contract to lease their mats. Under this scenario the cost of three year contract can be well over $700.00. In addition, most companies that are renting their floor mats are renting more than one mat, so the financial impact is much greater.

In addition, rental companies add many of the following expenses in addition to the rental fee: Delivery Charges, Cleaning Charges, Fuel Surcharges and Environmental Charges. These fees are typically bogus fees especially the cleaning fee. Regardless if the mat is purchased or rented, it is the end user that will have the task of daily and routine cleaning maintenance even if the rental company schedules cleanings or exchanges periodically. During the time between pick-ups, mats will be vacuumed when normal cleaning occurs. Companies who purchase their floor mats incur only one cleaning expense.

Rental companies typically offer a limited selection of floor mat styles, sizes and colors. As a result, the renter is left with an entrance mat that does not meet their need nor look aesthetically pleasing.

Considering the cost associated with renting vs. buying entrance mats, the lack of selection, functionality and appeal the financial impact can be devastating. A company renting 5 mats at $5 per mat per week will spend almost $4,000.00 in a 3 year period. Buying the same mats (which will last a minimum of 3 years and closer to 6) will cost approximately $700. The potential savings are over $3,000.
