SMEs in the dark on vehicle leasing, says LeasePlan

Small and medium sized businesses simply don’t understand the potential cost and administrative benefits of vehicle leasing, according to research from LeasePlan. Almost 90% of respondents to its survey admitted to feeling overwhelmed by the administration involved in business vehicle management, yet 43% of decision makers still believe vehicle leasing is too expensive for their organisation.

Matt Dyer, Managing Director of LeasePlan, says:

‘It is surprising to see that such a high percentage of decision-makers believe leasing is both too expensive and too time consuming for their business. These figures suggest people have developed a misconception of the fleet industry and the concept of leasing . . . We cannot remove admin tasks completely, but we can reduce the time-draining tasks for business decision makers.’
