I would check to see if there is a leasing company locally where you could do business. It is sometimes easier to do business with a smaller locally owned company than a major leasing company such as Xtra Lease. Great Dane and some of the other dealers may lease trailers. Some don't lease to owner operators. I have also known of some who require a minimum amount of cash in the bank before they will lease you a trailer. Rental fees can vary according to the age and type of trailer. I would expect to pay somewhere between $300-650/month to rent a van trailer.
