Considerations in choosing a fleet of passenger cars

It takes a lot of careful thinking to choose the best vehicles for use as company cars. Essential conditions need to be given priority and those which are desirable, but not essential only come second. If you decide to take into consideration the “driver’s” (the person the car is intended for) opinion as well, then you will be on the right track to finding the optimal vehicle. We also have a few ideas regarding the things you have to look out for when making your choice. The first thing for you to decide is whether you want a single car or several cars. It is no secret that if you are buying more than one, you will be entitled to some form of discount and as the quantity increases, so will your bargaining position improve in terms of price, financing and equipment. The list of advantages related to purchasing a fleet is long and sometimes quite difficult to interpret. It is important to have all benefits offered both in written and verbal form collected and signed officially by both parties. This is particularly useful when negotiations reach a higher level and some promises get forgotten by some participants. Another important point to be taken into consideration is the differences between importers of various brands in the way fleet purchases are treated. It is not unusual for salespeople to present their offer as a “very special “one, based on their personal relationship with the importer, whereas the truth is that their offer is normal and customary. It is also important to be well informed about current promotional offers, even if brand loyalty is quite rewarding in the Hungarian market at present. You should also be aware of the fact that competition in fleet purchases of passenger cars is far more intense than in the market of commercial vehicles. Customers also tend to be more familiar with products. There are already some examples of certain companies or brands being closely linked to certain models. It is always a good idea to have a uniform fleet of cars which conforms to the company image.
