Companies Encouraged to Buy New Fleets
According to Stayeley Head, a specialist van and motorhome insurance firm, now could be a good time for firms to consider expanding their fleet. They say investing in a new fleet can save firms money and they can actually avoid paying excessive mileage expenses to employees who use their own vehicle for business purposes.
Another benefit, according to this firm, is that having a dedicated fleet of cars or vans means the company can guarantee their vehicles are roadworthy, correctly taxed and insured.
“With many businesses struggling at the moment, the cost savings which are to be had by investing in an in-house fleet of vehicles make it a sensible option,” according to a spokesperson for Flintshire-based Stayeley Head, “The example of public sector organizations, who have managed to slash costs by employing a fleet is one which the private sector would be wise to follow.”
The spokesman also said that fleet vehicles are always more closely monitored than private vehicles and are usually more likely to be environmentally friendly.
