Molthoff Fleetmanagement
Solution

Reducing lease costs

Sharper rates, checked recalculations, lastingly market-aligned

Reducing lease costs starts with the lease rate itself: are you buying sharply, are the recalculations correct, and do your rates stay market-aligned? Molthoff Fleetmanagement checks your lease contracts independently, brings overcharged costs to light and ensures your rates stay correct, with the market as the benchmark.

Key takeaways

  • Reducing lease costs comes down to three things: buying sharply, checking recalculations and keeping rates market-aligned.
  • In lease contracts, costs often leak away through recalculations, excess and shortfall mileage and unjustified charges.
  • The Price Monitor periodically checks that your rates stay correct against the market.
  • Want to look broader than just the lease? See the page on saving on your fleet for the full TCO.

Where do lease costs leak away?

The lease rate looks like a fixed figure, but consists of many components that can each deviate. It is precisely there, in the details of the contract, that costs leak away unnoticed.

Common leaks

  • A rate bought too high or not reviewed for years.
  • Recalculations that are wrong when duration or mileage changes.
  • Excess and shortfall mileage settled unfavourably.
  • Interest and residual value assumptions no longer aligned with the market.
  • Charges and surcharges that were not agreed.

Buy sharply and stay market-aligned

The first gain lies in buying sharply, with real price pressure from the market. The second, often forgotten, gain lies in staying market-aligned: rates that were good at signing gradually drift out of line in a changing market.

Check what you pay

Besides buying sharply, it pays to check whether your leasing company keeps to the agreements. With Fleet Audits we review the invoices and recalculations and detect unjustified charges. Suspect you are overpaying on a specific contract? Have your lease contract checked specifically.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about Reducing lease costs

With independent advice, organisations save on average 5 to 15% on their fleet costs. On the lease component specifically, the room depends on how long ago you procured and whether your rates have been reviewed since. The QuickScan makes the saving visible in advance.

This page focuses on the lease component: the rate, recalculations and market alignment. Saving on your fleet looks broader, at the full total cost of ownership, including fuel, damage, insurance and management. Often you tackle both.

With the Price Monitor we periodically test whether your rates still match the market and correct deviations. That prevents a once-sharp rate from quietly becoming expensive.

With Fleet Audits we check the invoices, recalculations and charges against the contract. That brings unjustified charges to light. For a specific contract you can have your lease contract checked directly.
