closed Rental vs Lease

[marcope]

Hi, could you guy please help us out:

We have a german website that is a B2B B2C center - "Vermietung.de" which would be similar to "Rentals.com". Thats why we are interested in a .us (that are still for sale , and we can afford it).

We asked the owner of "lease.us" and he´d sell for 4k and says (I quote):

"Lease.us is shorter, more all-encompasing, sounds
classier than "rental" , is a noun/adverb vs only being
an "object". When advertising there is no mistaking it.
Rental could be mistaken for rentals, rentalls."


What do you think ? I believe rentals.us is more valuable. We don´t have an offer yet, but I guess it´s more than 4K.

Would lease.us still do ? What do you guys think ? The site is supposed to be a place where the user can look for carrentals, apartments, houses, technical gear etc.. all you can lease / rent.

Thanks for all help; Regards, Marco

Ok, meaning: if you lease a car you pay a monthly fee and may drive it for years. If you rent a car, you can rent it for a day, right?

And one doesn´t lease an apartment, but rents it, right ? Ok, in this case the domain lease.us would not be the one for us.

Any more opinions ?

Mmh..ok .. but that would still mean "rentals" would be name we are searching for, right ? Regards, Marco

I always thought that the landlord let a house and the tenant rented it. The lease was the rental agreement. But it does seem to have changed these days. Certainly the car example is the same in the UK.

Yes.

Financially Renting is a special case of leasing.
In technical terms renting is an operational lease.

Whew, it gets complicated for me. Let put it like this: what would you excpect under a domain like lease.us or lease.com ? (don´t look ; ) ) .. Regards, Marco
