Price Monitor
Keep a grip on your lease rates, for the entire contract
The Price Monitor is the service with which Molthoff Fleetmanagement structurally verifies that your leasing company adheres to the agreed price level. A lease rate is a day price at the moment of quotation; without safeguarding, price pressure fades during the term. With quarterly checks based on a Price Level Agreement and more than 98% fleet coverage, you prevent creeping price increases.

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.
Based on a Price Level Agreement (PLA) established in advance, Molthoff Fleetmanagement checks all lease calculations every quarter, for both passenger and commercial vehicles. In case of deviations, we present a fully substantiated report to the leasing company so rates are restored. The Price Monitor has been a recognised and accepted method among leasing companies since 2015.
