Minimize Service Loaner Fleet Expenses with Connexion Mobility
Minimizing Expenses in Service Loaner Fleet Management
Running a service loaner fleet is a valuable customer service offering, but without the right controls in place, costs can quickly spiral out of control. Fuel expenses, maintenance, excessive mileage, and inefficient vehicle utilization can eat into dealership profits.
With Connexion Mobility, dealerships can implement smart fleet management strategies to reduce expenses, recover costs, and improve operational efficiency—ensuring that loaner programs remain profitable and cost-effective.
Where Service Loaner Fleets Lose Money
Without a proper system in place, dealerships often experience unnecessary costs in the following areas:
- Fuel Costs & Unauthorized Use
🔹 Customers frequently return loaners with less fuel than they received.
🔹 Vehicles may be driven for personal use, adding unnecessary fuel and wear costs.
- Untracked Maintenance & Repairs
🔹 Without real-time tracking, small issues go unnoticed until they become costly repairs.
🔹 Vehicles kept out of circulation for extended repairs reduce fleet availability.
- Excessive Mileage & Depreciation
🔹 High mileage lowers resale value, impacting dealership profitability.
🔹 Unmonitored driving habits result in unnecessary wear and depreciation.
- Poor Loaner Utilization
🔹 Some vehicles remain idle while others are overused, leading to inefficient fleet distribution.
🔹 Lack of real-time data prevents dealers from optimizing fleet size and usage.
- Missed Warranty & Cost Recovery Claims
🔹 Unsubmitted warranty claims for loaner use during covered repairs lead to lost revenue.
🔹 Missed billing for alternative transportation options like ridehail, shuttle services, or rentals.
