Leasedrive is an award winning fleet management, fleet funding and vehicle rental Management Company that cater for both the public and private sectors. The company was founded in 1983, enjoying early success in the fleet industry. In 2007 it merged with the company Velo to form one of the biggest independent privately-owned vehicle management groups in the UK. The company operates under two brands, Leasedrive and Leasedrive Rental Management, with each catering for a specific area of the market.  With Leasedrive offering bespoke fleet management solutions and Leasedrive Rental Management taking care of the leasing side of things, you can rest assured all areas are well covered.  LD Leasedrive have won numerous awards for their success in the industry, with a few notable examples being the BusinessCar Techies Awards for three years running (2009, 2010 and 2011), as well as the Energy Saving Trust 'Fleet Hero' Award in 2009 for ‘Innovation in Services and Systems’.

They pride themselves on their unique ALFA system, an industry leading asset finance and management system that offers robust finance along with integrated workflow management capabilities. All this can be accessed via ALFA’s web based front end, allowing on-demand integrated vehicle acquiring, ordering, policy management, service, maintenance and repair, plus records management. Adding to this is their Drive:Manager system, which provides fleet managers with a quick access desktop tool to assist them in the running of their fleets and drivers. The system operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and offers the ability to compare and order vehicles, progress orders and book routine services, all from the comfort of your computer.

LD Leasedrive offer several fleet funding and leasing services for all types of customers, ensuring you get the exact service you want:

Capacitive Lease Management

For those who manage a capacitive leasing company but don’t want the hassle, this plan allows Leasedrive to look after and manage the company themselves.

Contract Hire

Contract Hire is ideal for companies who don’t want the operational risk of running their own vehicle fleets, but still want to be in charge. They take the responsibility for vehicle acquisition, disposal, depreciation, funding, servicing, maintenance, repair and administration, leaving you more time to focus on what’s important; your business.

Contract Purchase

Similar to Contract Hire, Contract Purchase is perfect for those companies who are fully or partially VAT exempt. Vehicles are provided through fixed monthly instalments over a defined period and mileage, with a final balloon payment at the end of the lease. In this plan, the customer is given the option to buy the vehicle at the contracts end, offering further flexibility.

Finance Lease

Finance Leasing provides the customer with a more flexible alternative to contract hire, giving them either a fully liquidated lease or a balloon payment to reduce the rentals. You are responsible for the residual value risk and reward of the vehicle, although you can never actually take its title. This plan is highly suitable for large mileage vehicles as the contract is not based around a fixed mileage system. This may be helpful if you wish to change your business needs in the future.

Outright Purchase

Pretty self explanatory, Outright Purchase involves the customer buying the vehicle there and then. While the vehicle will be under your control, you can still benefit from most of Leasedrives management schemes. This allows you to own the vehicle but still enjoy the same great service the company have to offer.

Sale & Leaseback

Sale and Leaseback is the process of Leasedrive purchasing your existing fleet from you and then leasing it back at an agreed monthly rate. It is designed to release the cash value of your fleet for immediate use, while also freeing you of the running and maintenance costs associated with keeping a fleet. Leasedrive will own the vehicles for the remainder of the contract and bear full responsibility for depreciation, vehicle excess duty, administration and even its disposal, meaning you can concentrate funds on your business.
