Leasing and rental: the layers inside company

How companies register. The layers overlap — a car can be both on leasing and registered to a company — so they don’t add up.

  • Company 3,221baseline
  • Leasing (renting) 1,68552.3% of company
  • Rental 62919.5% of company

All on the same scale, with company as the baseline. Leasing and rental are layers inside company: they’re compared against it, not a split of it.
