Fleet Purchase Discounts
There are two types of fleet discounts:
- Factory Fleet (also known as National Fleet).
- General Fleet.
There are also various "corporate programs" typically offered by the more upmarket makes.
National Fleet
National Fleet discounts are funded by the manufacturer and the dealer together. They are designed to allow makes compete harder against each other. They are only available in a very limited number of makes and are also model-specific. The general rule is that the buyer has to buy 7 or more cars per year of the particular make to be eligible. Company employees can be eligible if their employer has an agreement with the manufacturer. If you have a business, we can help you determine which level of manufacturers fleet discount you may be eligible for. There are different levels of National Fleet discounts, depending on the company and make.
General Fleet
General Fleet discounts are wholly funded by the dealer. The dealer decides who is eligible for these discounts. Standard discounting would come under this classification.
Corporate Programs
Some makes - typically luxury vehicle manufacturers - have corporate programs that may include such things as service discounts etc. Eligibility is determined by the manufacturer. Using us will ensure that you take advantage of these types of programs if you are eligible.
Fleet Discounts
There are many types of new car discounts but most of them relate to some type of fleet discount. A fleet discount refers to a discount that is given to the purchaser of the motor vehicle by the manufacturer. It is understood that in the majority of cases, the eligibility of a purchaser to qualify for a fleet discount is assessed by the motor vehicle dealer, the reduced price agreed with the purchaser, and a claim lodged by the motor vehicle dealer with the manufacturer for reimbursement. It is also understood that the amount of fleet discount reimbursed to the motor vehicle dealer may be less than the discount provided to the purchaser.
