ABOUT
Why choose an independent fleet management company ?
There are generally three approaches an organisation can take when managing its fleet. Understanding the distinctions between these options—and the responsibilities and advantages of each—is essential. Based on our experience, independent fleet management can reduce lease car costs by as much as 30%.
In House
In this approach, the organisation takes on complete responsibility for its fleet, including:
Sourcing vehicles from one or several suppliers
Managing all supplier interactions
Handling every element of fleet administration
The key question: Is this really what your organisation is built to do.
Sole Supply
This approach involves selecting one leasing company to supply vehicles and deliver certain administrative functions:
-
The organisation must monitor compliance with agreed service levels
-
The contract locks you into one supplier for its entire term
-
You may miss out on competitive offers available from other leasing companies
-
Some administrative tasks may still fall to your internal team
Relying on a single provider reduces choice and often leads to higher costs.
Independent
Selecting an independent fleet management company to procure vehicles and manage the full fleet lifecycle offers significant advantages:
-
A service model built around acting solely in the client’s best interests.
-
Access to the most competitive lease pricing on GCA Framework.
-
Supplier performance and compliance managed entirely on your behalf.
-
Expert guidance on the best available deals for your specific vehicle requirements.
-
A streamlined, single‑source invoicing process.
-
Comprehensive administration, including policy management, HMRC submissions, and payroll notifications.
-
Best‑practice insights and economies of scale, especially beneficial for small/medium fleets.
