I really want to try mat rental this winter for outside our office doors. I'm constantly worried that somebody is going to slip coming in or out. Thanks for explaining the difference between this particular mat and others like it.
ReplyDeleteIve been wanting to get a little more info on mat rentals
ReplyDeleteDid you know that to rent a 4' x 6' entrance mat the cost is on average $5 per week or about $260 annually? Most entrance mat rental companies require a 3 year contract to lease their mats. Under this scenario the cost of a 3 year entrance mat contract can be well over $700. In addition, most companies that are renting their entrance mats are renting more than one entrance mat, so the financial impact is much greater.
ReplyDeleteIn addition, rental companies add many of the following expenses in addition to the entrance mat rental fee: Delivery Charges, Cleaning Charges, Fuel Surcharges and Environmental Charges. These entrance mat fees are typically bogus - especially the entrance mat cleaning fee. Regardless if the entrance 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 the entrance floor mats periodically. During the time between pick-ups, the entrance mats will be vacuumed by the end user when normal cleaning occurs. Thus, companies who purchase their own entrance mats incur only one cleaning expense.
Entrance mat rental companies typically only offer a limited selection of entrance mat styles, sizes and colors. As a result, the renter is typically 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 entrance mats at $5 per entrance mat per week will spend almost $4,000 in a 3 year period. Buying the same entrance mats (which will last a minimum of 3 years and closer to 6) will cost approximately $700. The potential savings are over $3,000 in purchasing 5 entrance mats rather than buying the same 5 entrance mats.
You decide, is it better to buy or rent your entrance mats?
