Our History
A Legacy of Service Since 1958
Leasing Associates began with a vision: to provide small and medium-sized fleets with the care and service they deserve. Founded in Houston, Texas, we expanded steadily across the U.S., building strong relationships with customers and employees alike.
1958: Founding in Houston with a focus on personal service for small and medium-sized fleets.
1960s Expansion: Boston, Dallas, and Midland offices opened.
1980s Growth: New offices in Los Angeles, Ft. Lauderdale, Portland, Long Island City, and Austin.
1990s Reach: Chicago and Pt. Pleasant offices added.
2025: Rebranded as LAI Fleet
Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our founding principles: delivering exceptional service, fostering long-term relationships, and adapting to the evolving needs of the fleet industry.
