Speaking on this further Pandithasekara said, “We have made packages because we want the client to own a vehicle which he is unable to own, for example you make some down payment today and start paying the rental after one year, so the first year you won’t pay a rental, you will pay from the second year”. Adding to that, the Director said the reason to tie up with Mercantile was mainly because of the flexibility of the company.
