The Mixed Fleet Philosophy

There are few companies where the business mileage profile is similar for all employees; so selecting one funding method will inevitably lead to unnecessary and avoidable costs. Even if you had the time and resources to switch between different options, the chances are that your supplier would have difficulty meeting your requirements, especially if you expect a high level of fleet and driver management.

In an ideal world, and in the current tax regime, you would provide some form of employee-owned car for those driving a lot of business miles, and a company funded car for those driving very few. You would make full use of available tax and NI savings in the former, and use the best funding method for the latter based on a range of different factors at the time of order.

Combining all these different funding methods may seem unduly complicated, but the rewards can be significant, especially if HMG plans to vary VAT treatment based on emissions become reality. Optifleet solves the problem by presenting you with the least-cost options based on your specific business parameters at the point of selection, combined with a common management platform for fleet and drivers alike.
