About Us
Who We Are
Merchant West Fleet is a specialist fleet business within the Merchant West group, focused exclusively on business vehicle leasing and fleet management. Since 2009, we’ve supported companies that need dependable vehicles, deploy flexible funding solutions and take away ownership risks, without complexity.
What We Do
We deliver three structured fleet solutions. Full Maintenance Lease, Operating Lease, and Dynamic Lease, each designed around different operational and financial objectives.
Our role extends beyond funding. We manage fleet structure by supporting lifecycle planning, cost modelling, procurement coordination, managing the fleet through-out the term. All of these reduce your administration burdens..
We also offer Value Adding products that ensure you have peace of mind. Products such as Insurance, Telematics and Roadside assistance that takes care of the fleet, whilst you take care of your core business.
Consulting you with Fleet Expertise
Our consultative approach starts with understanding how vehicles are actually used. We assess vehicle category, kilometre expectations, operating conditions, and budget constraints before structuring a solution.
From procurement through delivery and ongoing reporting based on ODO updates, we remain involved throughout the lease term. We restructure your transaction when a vehicle’s kilometers are over or under the contract parameters, that provides flexibility and takes care of your cashflow planning.
Our Difference – Why Go Beyond Generic Fleet Solutions
Most providers offer generic leasing packages driven by automated platforms. We take a different approach. Merchant West Fleet is built on personal relationships and industry expertise.
With us, fleet management isn’t a transaction, it’s a partnership that helps you Go Beyond the limitations of algorithm-driven models.
