Benchmarking
Certainty that things are right, and insight into where they can improve
Benchmarking is an independent market comparison of your lease rates, lease budgets and contract terms. Molthoff Fleetmanagement puts your numbers next to those of organisations of comparable size and sector. You then know exactly whether you pay market-rate prices, whether your car scheme is market-rate for employees, and where savings can be found.

What is the Molthoff Fleetmanagement benchmark?
The benchmark compares your rates, terms and policy with market standards and with organisations that match your situation in size and sector. The comparison is made at component level, so it becomes clear exactly where any difference sits: in depreciation, interest, repair and maintenance, tyres, insurance or the management fee.
The result is a transparent picture: are you paying market-rate prices, does your car scheme offer employees a market-rate choice and are your terms in line with what the market does today? We translate every deviation into a concrete improvement point in euros.
What do we benchmark?
Lease rates and terms
Current lease rates and contract terms are tested against market benchmarks at component level. That makes visible where a difference sits and what it means per vehicle per month.
Lease budgets
Your lease budgets per job grade are compared with organisations of comparable size and sector. That shows whether the lease car as an employment condition is still market-rate.
Specific contract components
Testing of components such as purchase discounts, replacement vehicles, winter tyre clauses and recalculation percentages.
Sustainability and electrification
Comparison of CO₂ emissions, EV share and charging facilities with industry peers, as substantiation for your sustainability ambitions.

Frequently asked questions about Benchmarking
That is exactly the question the benchmark answers. Your rates are compared with current market data at component level, so you can see, substantiated, whether you pay market-rate prices and where there is room.
Against organisations and fleets of comparable size and sector, and against current market standards. As an independent consultancy, Molthoff Fleetmanagement builds this benchmark data continuously, complemented by international data through the fleetcompetence network.
Yes. Besides rates, the benchmark also tests your lease budgets, car scheme and sustainability approach. And precisely after procurement it is valuable to safeguard that the agreed rates remain market-rate throughout the term, for example through the Price Monitor.
The QuickScan is a broad review of your entire fleet across five areas, including a benchmark. Benchmarking as a separate service zooms in specifically on the market comparison: rates, terms and lease budgets. The two complement each other.
A benchmark is usually completed within a few weeks. The exact lead time depends on the scope and the availability of data; we agree on that planning with you in advance.
