Which program is best for me: month-to-month rental or rent-to-own? |
|
For short-term rentals, the month-to-month program has lower monthly payments.
If you have shorter-term rental needs and are fairly certain you won't want
to purchase the unit, the month-to-month plan is ideally suited for you.
For long-term rentals, the Rent-To-Own option has comparable monthly payments
and a much lower buyout. If you think you may want to own the unit, Rent-To-Own
is the best strategy for you.
This example shows the cost breakdown to rent a $10,000 unit for 12 months:
| 12-month Agreement |
Advertised Purchase Price |
Monthly Rental Cost |
End-of-term Purchase Price |
Total Cost to Own |
| Month-to-Month |
$10,000 |
$600* |
$8,560 |
$15,760 |
| Rent-to-Own |
$10,000 |
$850 |
$2,500 |
$12,700 |
| *Please note: The sample month-to-month rental cost in
this table is based on a 6% rate. Actual rates will vary. |

What happens if my test instrument stops working? |
|
MetricTest's goal is to keep you and your equipment up and running at all
times. MetricTest's tech support hotline is staffed from 7:00 a.m. until
midnight Monday - Thursday and 7:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Friday. To speak
with one of MetricTest's certified lab technicians, call (800) 432-3424x154
or (510) 266-5479. If your equipment stops working, you can return it at
anytime to our ISO registered, NIST traceable lab for maintenance or calibration.
While the unit is being repaired, we will send you a replacement or substitute
unit, provided we have one in stock. |

|
Will my rental payments be prorated if I don't keep the unit for the
entire month? |
|
After you have had a month-to-month rental for at least 30 days or a rent-to-own
for at least half the term, you will only be billed for the length of time
you have the equipment. For example, if MetricTest receives your unit on the
fifth day of the next rental period, you will be charged 5/30 of your monthly
rental cost. |
| |
|
What if I want to buy the unit before my rent-to-own term ends? |
|
Call your MetricTest sales representative and request a quote. |
| |
|
How long does it take to open an account? |
|
Once MetricTest has received your bank and trade references and RTO agreement
(for rent-to-own only), your account will usually be opened within the same
day. |
| |
|
What happens to the equipment at the end of the rental term? |
|
You can return the equipment, renew the rental agreement, or purchase the
equipment at the preset buyout amount (on your rental agreement). If you
decide to continue renting after the rent-to-own term is complete, it reverts
to a month-to-month agreement. If you exercise the option to buyout, it
is effective the day we receive your hard copy PO. You will not be charged
for rental after this point. |
| |
|
Can I establish a rental line of credit? |
|
Yes. Most customers choose to establish a line of credit, so funds are readily
available when equipment is needed. Business credit must remain in good
standing while the credit line is open. |
