What does vehicle fleet management mean?

Fleet management refers to the administration of company-owned vehicles, including procurement, operation, maintenance, and the necessary administrative tasks.

Efficient fleet management enables companies to operate their vehicle fleets more cost-effectively and safely, optimize vehicle usage, reduce administrative burdens, and increase employee satisfaction with the vehicles.

Various leasing options

In fleet management, companies can choose from several leasing structures, the most common being operational leasing and financial leasing. These options offer different benefits and opportunities, so it’s important to understand their differences to select the most suitable solution for the company’s needs.

MOL Mercarius provides transparent terms throughout the contract period, with details of mileage overrun outlined in the framework agreement.

If the specified mileage is exceeded, the client is required to pay a pre-determined overrun fee. To avoid this, we recommend that our clients carefully assess their expected annual mileage before signing the contract. Additionally, we offer the possibility to modify the mileage during the contract period.

Yes, the contract includes the mandatory liability insurance (KGFB) as well as the damage coverage service (CASCO). Additionally, the deductible GAP insurance is available as an optional add-on, which can also be incorporated into the monthly fee.

If a rented vehicle breaks down, clients can always rely on MOL Mercarius’ 24/7 in-house assistance – available across Europe depending on the package. The service ensures clients can continue their journey and, if necessary, provides a temporary replacement vehicle until the next business day. (Our rental package can optionally include the replacement vehicle service, ensuring uninterrupted mobility during longer repairs or insurance-related claims.) The replacement vehicle can be used for as long as needed, without being limited to a fixed time frame.

Clients using MOL Mercarius contractual packages will not face unexpected costs.

Any additional expenses can only occur due to circumstances beyond our control, such as CASCO deductibles, fines from traffic violations, or charges resulting from changes in legislation or taxes.

These possible costs are clearly outlined within the limits set in the contract.

The rental structure offered by MOL Mercarius is transparent and predictable. At return, only costs related to damages (depending on the extent, covered by CASCO) and mileage overrun are billed. Both items are objectively verifiable.
Our clients can rent vehicles not only through long-term contracts but also for short- or medium-term periods, including transitional periods of 1–2 months.
Our rental agreements typically last up to 5-6 years; after that period, it’s advisable to switch to a new vehicle. In justified cases (such as manufacturing difficulties or extended delivery times), the contract can be extended beyond this timeframe with contractual amendments.

Based on our rental agreement, all operating costs are covered, without exceptions or clauses.

  • Regular maintenance: Scheduled periodic services, which are due based on mileage or specified time intervals.
  • Tire replacement: Changing tires during seasonal shifts.
  • Unscheduled repairs: Within our rental scheme, extraordinary repairs refer to service events beyond the standard factory-recommended revisions. MOL Mercarius goes beyond factory specifications by considering actual operational experience and expected costs.

Minor repairs:

  1. Bulb replacement
  2. Refilling fluids
  3. Windshield wiper replacement
  4. Battery check/replacement
  5. Key and battery replacement

Major repairs:

  1. Brake issues
  2. Air conditioning failure

  4. Suspension problems

As part of our service, we offer an optional replacement vehicle for our clients, which is available throughout the entire duration of the repair. This ensures that clients do not need to wait at designated service centers and eliminates the need for separate arrangements or negotiations regarding vehicle handover.

Our retired, well-maintained vehicles from the fleet are transferred to the Mercar Használtautó dealership (Mercarius Mercar Kft.), where there is an opportunity to purchase the vehicle. If requested, we can flexibly accommodate our clients’ preferences and can also discuss the possibility of buying the vehicle before it officially arrives at the dealership. Thanks to this, the previous user of the vehicle can purchase the car at market price outside of the usual process.
