Helping Government Fleets get the most out of their budget.
Due to our size, D&M works directly with the manufacturers to obtain any make/model vehicle at the lowest possible price.
We offer programs and services to manage every detail of operating and managing a vehicle throughout its lifecycle.
Total Cost of Ownership is knowing when to acquire, how long to keep and when to replace vehicles in your fleet.
We are your partner and will provide financing best suited to your organization.
We will meet with your stakeholders to gain a full understanding of your organization and transportation needs. Our team of fleet management experts will then design a program that will include suggested efficiencies and areas where savings can be obtained.
For over 45 years, D&M Leasing has been serving the automotive needs of customers all over the country. Headquarter in Dallas, Texas, D&M began in the consumer leasing business. Today, D&M has grown to become one of the largest consumer leasing companies in the United States while also serving the fleet management needs of commercial and government fleets. Through our parent company, Hernco, D&M Leasing owns a network of franchise dealerships, a financial services company, and other related businesses. The result is the most unique relationship between sales, supply, and funding in the fleet management industry.
D&M serves the needs of government fleets throughout the nation. As fleet management experts, D&M utilizes proven principles and techniques to lower the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of your fleet vehicles. Each contract is uniquely customized to meet the specific needs and goals of your fleet. We have programs and services that can manage every aspect of owning and operating a vehicle from acquisition through disposal. These programs include: maintenance, fuel, flexible funding, risk management, accident management and telematics. This allows our customers to focus on their core business knowing that their fleet is being managed by professionals.
As the cost to purchase new vehicles has soared, government fleets have responded by lengthening the service life of their fleet vehicles. By understanding when it makes financial sense to cycle a vehicle, government fleets can lower their Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and save thousands of dollars per vehicle versus the traditional “buy and hold” model followed today. To find the “Sweet Spot” for a vehicle, the data suggests that a vehicle should be replaced when the operating costs begin to exceed the capital costs. Where those two points intersect on the graph is known as optimum replacement timing.
As the cost of vehicles soar and capital budgets are squeezed, state and local governments are moving from a traditional “buy and hold” mentality to leasing. Leasing allows you to pay for only the portion of the vehicle that you use instead of the entire vehicle. On average, leasing allows governments to get three or four new vehicles compared to the cost of purchasing one vehicle.
By implementing a leasing program, our customers enjoy millions of dollars in savings, replacement cycles cut in half, and a continuously refreshed fleet.

The City of Des Moines has used D&M Leasing to lease purchase various vehicles under the Sourcewell contract terms and conditions for the last few years. The use of D&M Leasing has been critical to acquiring all electric (EVs) and their leasing model has resulted in cost parity of EVs when compared to conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) sedans. Additionally, lease purchase financing provides the needed flexibility for the City to meet the needs of its operational departments.
