Vehicle Lifecycle

From acquiring a vehicle to selling it on

Every vehicle in your fleet has a start and an end point – and what happens at both affects everything in between. We help you buy, fund, electrify, protect and eventually replace every vehicle you run.

The Autoserve view

It’s a loop, not a straight line

No two vehicles in your fleet sit at the same stage at once – some being acquired while others are being remarketed. We manage the lifecycle from start to finish, so you can bring us in at any point along it.

1. Acquisition

2. Financing

3. Maintenance

4. Remarketing

Bring us in at any stage

Remarketing feeds straight back into acquisition

Each stage

What we handle at every stage

Vehicle Acquisition

The vehicle you choose affects fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, driver safety and productivity for years afterwards – so it’s worth getting right at the start. We manage acquisition end-to-end, across any vehicle type, using data-driven analysis to find the models that suit your fleet.

  • End-to-end, any vehicle type
  • Analysis built around your goals
  • Benchmarking to find suitable models
  • Guidance on acquisition method

Vehicle Financing

There’s rarely one right way to fund a fleet – leasing, hire purchase, personal contract hire, contract hire, outright purchase or salary sacrifice all suit different vehicles and businesses. We work with a trusted financing partner to find the right mix.

  • Access to a trusted financing partner
  • Leasing, HP, PCH, contract hire, salary sacrifice
  • Blended funding to maximise savings
  • Guidance matched to your business

Remarketing

Getting the best return at the end of a vehicle’s time in your fleet depends on choosing the right route to market. Our remarketing partner manages the full process – inspections, reserve pricing, pre-sale repairs and the sale itself, through motor auctions or local buyers.

  • Right disposal route for your fleet
  • Inspections, reserve pricing, pre-sale repairs
  • Motor auctions and local buyers
  • Pay-on-use – no cost until it sells
