Ways To Lower Uniform Rental Costs
Lower Uniform Rental Costs: How Businesses Can Take Back Control
Uniforms, linens, and facility services are essential in industries like automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, and hospitality. But what most companies don’t realize is how much they’re overpaying single month.
Why Vendors Hold the Advantage
Vendors like Cintas, Vestis, and UniFirst design their contracts to protect themselves—not your budget. That means hidden fees, complicated clauses, and inflated costs that eat into your bottom line.
Common Problem Areas in Uniforms Invoices
Here are just a few of the common problem areas we uncover when auditing invoices:
- Automatic Loss & Replacement (ALR) Fees – charges for items you can’t even verify.
- Backup Inventory Costs – paying monthly for uniforms sitting in a closet.
- Size Premiums & Add on Charges – subtle line items buried deep in invoices.
- Vendor – Friendly Contract Terms – agreement that automatically favor suppliers.
The True Cost to Your Business
These hidden charges quietly drain 20-40% of your annual spend. That’s money that could be invested back into your team, your facilities, or your growth.
