Flexible Leasing – Plan With Full Cost Transparency

In an increasingly complex world of fleet management, transparency is a key factor for success. While traditional leasing models are often associated with opaque contract terms and hidden costs, Holman FlexLease offers a modern, transparent, and flexible leasing alternative.

When the Fog Clears: The Weaknesses of Traditional Leasing Models

Mileage leasing – also known as closed-end leasing – may initially seem like a simple and cost-effective solution. But much like driving through dense fog, the real challenges often only become apparent during use: rigid contract durations, limited mileage allowances, flat-rate damage charges, and high additional costs for contract changes or early returns. This lack of transparency can lead not only to unexpected financial burdens but also significantly restrict your ability to strategically manage your fleet.
To better understand the actual cost burden for lessees, we analyzed 449 completed leasing contracts for light commercial vehicles (LCVs). The goal was to determine the extent of additional costs incurred beyond the agreed service rate.

Summary of Results

Despite fixed monthly rates based on average contract duration and expected maintenance needs, an average of €878.40 per vehicle was charged in additional costs. These extra charges – primarily due to unscheduled maintenance and repairs – represent approximately 18.41% of the originally paid service rates.

These figures highlight the importance of considering not just the monthly rate when choosing a leasing model, but also the long-term cost structure and contract flexibility.

Holman FlexLease: Like a Clear View Through the Windshield

Holman FlexLease is based on the principle of open-end leasing and offers maximum clarity through a fixed amortization plan and customized contract design. The benefits are evident throughout the vehicle lifecycle:

• At contract start: Each contract is individually calculated based on actual usage and requirements. The amortization plan is transparent and easy to understand.
• During the term: Monthly rates remain constant, and all services are clearly defined. After just three months, the contract can be flexibly terminated – without penalties.
• At contract end: There is no flat-rate charge for wear and tear. Instead, the vehicle is sold at its actual market value – and the proceeds are entirely yours.

The ability to flexibly adapt vehicles to market conditions and operational needs opens up new possibilities. What was once a rigid contract framework becomes a dynamic management tool tailored to your real needs.

Conclusion: Transparency as a Competitive Advantage

Holman FlexLease represents a new generation of leasing: open, fair, and transparent. You benefit not only from financial planning security but also from the freedom to manage your fleet efficiently and according to your needs.
