IS YOUR BUSINESS FOCUSED ENOUGH ON VEHICLE WHOLE LIFE COSTS?

 
As the economic downturn continues, knowing precisely how much items actually cost is more important than ever, both for employers and employees. Motivated by factors such as tax changes and the potential savings on offer, it is perhaps not surprising that more and more businesses are looking at calculating the whole life cost of their vehicles when buying or leasing.
Calculating the whole life cost of a car is a complicated process. Some key factors to take into account include a car's depreciation, meaning the difference between the purchase price and the residual value of the vehicle at the end of the contract, insurance, maintenance in terms of scheduled and predictable servicing costs, the cost of incidental repairs such as broken windscreens and wing mirrors, fuel costs, and taxation including vehicle tax and employees' benefit-in-kind liability.

Once you start multiplying these savings across your fleet, you will realise just how significant these reductions in operating costs could be for you.
