Fleet Consultancy

Expert fleet consultancy to help you reduce costs, improve efficiency and make confident decisions about your vehicles

Cutting the cost of running your fleet

Our fleet consultancy projects typically deliver cash savings of 8–12% within the first two years

We examine your fleet costs, contracts, policies and working practices to find where money is being lost.

We then work with your team and suppliers to implement the changes and measure the real savings.

No upfront consultancy fees

Our fee is based on a share of the savings actually delivered. If we don’t deliver savings, you don’t pay any fees.

Who is fleet consultancy for?

Fleet consultancy is suited to any business operating a fleet. Whether that’s 50 vehicles, 500 vehicles, or more.

You may already have established fleet policies, suppliers and contracts, but lack the time or specialist expertise to examine whether they are still delivering good value.

Businesses usually come to us because:

  • Fleet costs or replacement quotes have risen sharply
  • Contracted mileage no longer reflects vehicle use
  • Fuel costs have risen
  • End-of-contract charges are causing concern
  • An ESOS or carbon review has identified changes that need implementing
  • They suspect there are savings available but don’t know where to look

Not sure where to start?

You don’t need all the answers before speaking to us. We can review the whole fleet or investigate a specific area of concern.

Why an independent fleet review delivers

A fleet can be running smoothly and still be costing far more than it should

  • Monthly rentals may be higher than necessary.
  • Manufacturer discounts and finance rates have changed significantly over the last 6 years and may no longer be competitive.
  • Mileage agreements may bear little relation to current usage.
  • Fuel consumption, vehicle downtime and poorly managed returns can add tens of thousands of pounds to your total bill.

These costs are easily missed when nobody has the time to look beyond the immediate job of keeping vehicles on the road. Existing suppliers may provide reports and recommendations, but their advice will naturally reflect the services and agreements they provide.

As independent fleet consultantw, we’re not tied to any single leasing company, manufacturer or other supplier

We examine what is right for your business and challenge existing arrangements where necessary.

That doesn’t mean replacing everything. Across our wider cost-management work, approximately 65–70% of incumbent suppliers remain in place. Sometimes the best result comes from improving the terms, service or value delivered by an existing relationship.

Fleet consultancy that delivers measurable savings

Every fleet is different, but common opportunities include:

  • Recontracting mileage to reduce monthly rentals
  • Negotiating customer-specific manufacturer discounts
  • Reviewing finance rates and contract terms
  • Reducing fuel costs and consumption
  • Improving vehicle selection and replacement planning
  • Avoiding unnecessary end-of-contract charges
  • Reducing maintenance costs and downtime
  • Making better use of fleet data and existing supplier services

Cost reduction from the get go

Some changes reduce current expenditure immediately. Others prevent future costs or limit the effect of rising prices as vehicles are replaced.

Fleet consultancy projects typically deliver savings of 8–12% within the first full year. Longer-term improvements may continue as more vehicles move through their replacement cycles.

The important measure is the money your business actually saves. Our fee is calculated from delivered results, not from forecasts or estimates in a report.

Better fleet decisions across the vehicle lifecycle

The true cost of running any vehicle is shaped long before taking delivery

Whether you purchase your vehicles outright or lease them, the financial commitment continues until the vehicle leaves your fleet.

Our consultancy work covers:

  • Vehicle choice, acquisition method, whole-life cost, and total-cost of ownership
  • Manufacturer discount and finance terms
  • Mileage contracts and vehicle usage
  • Fuel consumption and energy use
  • Fleet policies, compliance and duty of care
  • EV feasibility and transition planning
  • End-of-contract processes and charges

The result is a more cost-effective fleet supported by stronger contracts, clearer policies and better-informed decisions.

How fleet consultancy works

1. Understand your business and fleet

We begin with your existing fleet structure, costs, contracts, policies, suppliers and any current concerns. We also look at how the vehicles support your wider operation and what the business needs from them.

2. Investigate the costs and opportunities

We review the relevant contracts, invoices, mileage records, policies and operational data to identify budget leaks or where future costs can be avoided.

3. Agree the priorities

We identify the available opportunities, the savings they could produce and what will be required to achieve them. We then agree which changes to take forward.

4. Implement the changes

We work with your team, drivers and suppliers to put the recommendations into practice. This may involve renegotiating terms, changing processes, updating policies or introducing new arrangements.

5. Measure and embed the results

Savings are recorded as they are delivered. New policies and processes are documented and embedded so the improvements continue after the project is complete.

You receive practical, fully implemented changes with measurable results, rather than a report that sits unread on somebody’s desk.

Find out where your fleet could save

You don’t need to wait until your current contracts end

Mileage, finance rates, supplier performance, fuel consumption and working practices can all be reviewed while existing agreements remain in place.

An initial 20-minute conversation is usually enough to establish what is happening within your fleet and whether there is a worthwhile opportunity to investigate.
