Which lease includes many additional services such as maintenance, insurance and property taxes that are paid for or performed by the lessor; the cost is built into the lease payments, also referred to as a full-service lease?

• A. Service Lease
• B. Chattel
• C. TRAC lease
• D. Bundled Lease

Answer: (D)

Bundled leases are structured so the lessor handles ongoing operating costs—maintenance, insurance, and property taxes—and includes those costs in a single, regular lease payment. That means the lessee pays one all-inclusive amount for the use of the asset and the services that keep it running, which is why this arrangement is also described as a full-service lease. In practice, the lessor may arrange and pay for the maintenance and insurance and manage tax payments, while the lessee enjoys predictable budgeting with one consolidated payment. Other options might involve maintenance as an optional service, focus on tax mechanics, or simply describe the asset itself, but they don’t inherently convey that all those service costs are bundled into the lease payments.
