Hire and Rental News - November 2017

49 HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • NOVEMBER 2017 The Toyota Fleet Management Small Fleet Guide covers TFM’s CompleteLease and Maintained Chattel Mortgage products designed for businesses running a small vehicle fleet. TFM General Manager Ed Stanistreet said the new guide had been created as part of TFM’s continued efforts to simplify and streamline the fleet management process. The CompleteLease is a comprehensive vehicle leasing option that takes care of all running costs. There is no residual risk because the vehicle can be returned at the end of the lease term and replaced with another. No deposit is required and the customer chooses their own lease term, all at a fixed monthly price. “Because the lease is fully maintained all running costs are included and unlike a traditional vehicle lease there is no residual value obligation at its conclusion,” Ed said. Toyota Fleet Management renews focus on small business The Maintained Chattel Mortgage is a new product created for small business. It is a smart vehicle loan that provides the customer with potential tax benefits, the flexibility of being able to extend the loan term or simply pay off the balance and purchase the vehicle. “All running costs are included and you can choose your own term with a fixed monthly payment,” Ed said. CompleteLease and the Maintained Chattel Mortgage both include fixed costs for vehicle maintenance (air conditioning repairs, oil changes, clutch and brake fluid replacement, lubricants and anti-freeze), servicing, tyre replacement and vehicle registration fees, making it easier to budget and control costs. Both options also include the option of adding roadside assistance, a TFM Fuel Card that provides a discount off the pump price (plus fuel bills included in the monthly invoice), and TFM’s comprehensive motor vehicle insurance. “And our customers don’t need to worry about keeping track of registrations and insurance because we take care of it all.” Standard included fleet reports include monthly tax invoices and statements of all amounts outstanding, account activity (including new, varied and finalised contracts), vehicle expenses, vehicles due for servicing and fuel transactions (if a TFM Fuel Card is included). Customers can also generate their own reports via the myFleet online portal.
