Price Monitor
Keep a grip on your lease rates, for the entire contract
The Price Monitor is the service with which Molthoff Fleetmanagement verifies every quarter that your leasing company adheres to the agreed price level. We test rate developments against the official CBS price index for operational car leasing and additionally check every individual lease order. If a rate deviates upwards, the leasing company corrects it. The Price Monitor never raises your rate, and a second leasing company is not needed.

What is the Price Monitor?
After a sharp tender, you want certainty that the agreed rates remain sharp throughout the contract. Precisely when a single leasing company is contracted, the natural price pressure of competition disappears. The Price Monitor builds that pressure back in structurally, without needing a second leasing company.
Molthoff Fleetmanagement continuously measures how your lease rates develop relative to the market, along two lines. Every quarter we test the price level against the official CBS price index for operational car leasing, and we additionally check every individual lease order against the agreed build-up. If a rate deviates upwards, we first present our measurement to the leasing company for validation and ensure the rate is restored. This keeps price pressure in place throughout the term, from deployment and recalculation to final settlement. The Price Monitor has been a proven method among leasing companies since 2015.
Why the Price Monitor?
Continuity in cost control
A competitive initial deal matters, but rates can rise unnoticed. The Price Monitor prevents unnecessary price increases, so you never pay more than agreed.
Full transparency
Price developments are measured independently and objectively every quarter. You receive clear reports per vehicle type.
No discussions, no hassle
Thanks to agreed rules on rate build-up and indexation set in advance, it is clear to all parties how prices come about. Discussions about indexation are avoided.
Nearly every order matched
We match more than 98% of orders, for both passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
Known and trusted in the market
The Price Monitor has been a proven method since 2015 that leasing companies know and accept.
Independent expertise
Molthoff Fleetmanagement is fully independent and works exclusively in your interest.
How does the Price Monitor work?
- Step 1
Baseline measurement
At the start we record the agreed rate level as a reference. This baseline secures the results of your tender for the entire contract period.
- Step 2
Index measurement
Every quarter we test your leasing company's price development against the CBS price index for operational car leasing. If rates rise faster than the index, the leasing company adjusts the level.
- Step 3
Order matching
Alongside the index measurement, we check every individual lease order against the agreed build-up. If a rate deviates upwards, it is corrected.
- Step 4
Validation and reporting
As an independent intermediary, we first present our findings to the leasing company, so errors are put right up front and there is no discussion afterwards. You then receive a clear interim report every quarter.
- Step 5
Corrections
Where corrections are needed, we ensure they are carried out. After each measurement year we draw up the total result. Overpayments are refunded or offset; the Price Monitor never raises your rate.
- Step 6
Recalculations and final settlements
Recalculations during the contract and final settlements after it ends are also safeguarded and checked annually.

Frequently asked questions about Price Monitor
When your fleet is placed with a single leasing company and the natural price pressure of competition disappears. The Price Monitor builds that pressure back in structurally, without you having to contract a second supplier. It is specialist work you do not do yourself: testing against the CBS index and checking every lease order require in-depth market knowledge and an independent position that the leasing companies accept. That methodology and that role are what we bring in.
Along two lines. With the index measurement we test your price level against the CBS price index for operational car leasing every quarter. With order matching we additionally check every individual lease order against the agreed build-up. Together, those two keep your rates in line with the market throughout the term.
