Europcar provides BiK
and cost certainty for
long-term electric rental
As the electric vehicle landscape evolves, fleet managers are having to juggle business and driver needs with the advancing technology and performance of new models coming onto the market. Making commitments to electric vehicles for several years doesn’t make sense.
In response, Europcar has developed Flex Model Choice.
Flex Model Choice gives businesses the flexibility of rental with the vehicle model certainty of leasing. Specific makes and models from Europcar’s comprehensive BEV and PHEV fleet can be booked for rental for a minimum of 3 months and up to 12 months at a fixed monthly rate. This means employers can accurately allocate vehicles and forecast Benefit-in-Kind tax expenses.
The flexibility of lease without the penalties
Flex Model Choice gives businesses access to the latest BEV and PHEV models, without the long-term commitments and early exit penalties of leasing. Renting also means they will have access to the latest electric vehicle technology, rather than being stuck with a model for 3 or more years that is quickly surpassed. And, crucially, by being able to book the specific make and model, it is ideal for salary sacrifice schemes where the BiK needs to be forecast accurately.
The long wait times typical of leasing are also eliminated with Flex Model Choice - vehicles are usually available within just 5 working days, anywhere in the UK. Plus, it takes out the hassle of vehicle ownership. Nationwide delivery and collection is available for all models. A replacement vehicle is provided when the chosen car is off the road, and on-going maintenance and Road Fund License are included.
“We know that more and more businesses want to make sustainable mobility choices, but they have to balance doing the right thing with cost,” said Tom Middleditch, Head of Electric Mobility, Europcar. “We have therefore priced Flex Model Choice competitively to make it a good fit for a wide variety of business use cases.”
Europcar’s expert sales team will work with each business customer to identify the makes and models that suit their use cases, including the length of time they expect to need the vehicles.
