The importance of budgeting and fleet benchmarking

The numbers you need to know

If you own your company vehicles, you'll need to consider;

• •
  What are your monthly payments and how much is your write-down (depreciation)?
• •
  How much are you spending on servicing, fuel, tyres and general wear-and tear-items?
• •
  What will your vehicles be worth at the end of their useful life?
• •
  What are your interest costs?

If you lease your company vehicles you'll know that it's not just about your fixed monthly rental costs. You'll need to look at the variable costs of running a fleet;

• •
  Do you have vehicles de-fleeting next year? What are the expected end-of-term damage costs and excess mileage costs per vehicle?
• •
  How much is accident damage costing you annually? Could measures such as driver training and telematics reduce those costs next year?
• •
  Daily rentals provide much needed flexibility

  • •
    but how much are they costing you each month?
• •
  Vehicle Off Road (VOR) can be a significant financial drain with estimates of £743* per day for each vehicle off road. Have you considered the latest fleet planning techniques that can help to improve efficiency as well as deliver cost savings?
