Customer Testimonial

“Most of our staff get to work in one of our offices or from home, but for trade operatives the van is their office. Making sure the vehicles were fit for purpose and were a safe and comfortable working environment was at the forefront of our minds. That meant consulting members of each trade, so the racking suited the materials and tools they use, to having air conditioning and DAB radio in the vehicles. The move to a sole provider and new funding model will reduce operational costs by about 30 per cent over the next five years, and as a not-for-profit all the money we save will go back into providing affordable housing in the region and a wide range of support services for customers.”

Obtaining your Commercial Vehicle fleet with Alphabet

Below we've highlighted the key steps in the journey to fleet ownership, from introductory review to delivery.

The process begins with a comprehensive review of your current fleet and vehicle needs, to ensure we select vehicles that are fit for purpose.

 

We will ask you to consider such things as: What vehicle type is right for my business? Do I have a preferred dealer? What contract details would work for me?

Vehicle quotations are valid for 30 days. Information in the vehicle quote includes:

 

  • Vehicle Information and options (factory fitted and ancillary)
  • Rental (Lease, Service, Total)
  • Contract Term
  • Miles per annum
  • Excess mileage charge rate
  • Quotation number

Following on from quotation, Alphabet begins the ordering process, defined by our three in-build priorities - progression (ensuring timely updates at an agreed frequency), quality control (undertaking inspections to ensure vehicles are fit for purpose), and cost control (using our extensive supplier network to ensure value for money and suitability for timeline).

 

This order process takes place in four steps:

 

  1. Alphabet place your order with one of our preferred supply partners for both chassis and conversion.
  2. Order confirmation document is sent to you, containing delivery date and order number.
  3. Build management updates from the preferred dealer network.
  4. Alphabet quality checks are carried out.

There is no charge for initial delivery of vehicle (if vehicle requires onward delivery, for example from a conversion company, charges may apply if not included in lease).

 

A vehicle acceptance report is completed on handover of vehicle.

 

An Alphabet virtual handover is provided by all dealers within the Alphabet preferred dealer network, and the video for this is received 1 week prior to delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're a seasoned fleet manager or someone with the responsibility of managing a fleet, the variety of options available can seem overwhelming.

 

Our team of experts understand the intricacies of business car leasing and can help you determine which leasing solution suits your company's needs and objectives. We recognise that every business is unique and will work with you to offer leasing options which cater specifically to your company's requirements, ensuring the most cost-effective and efficient solution for your fleet.

It could cost less

The most attractive aspect of leasing your new LCVs is the lower costs both upfront and across the period of the lease. Why? Because leasing companies have enhanced buying power with manufacturers due to the numberof LCV's they purchase, allowing them to save significantly on a per-vehicle basis.

 

It's simpler

Purchasing a new LCV is just a small piece of the jigsaw puzzle for a fleet manager. Maintenance and vehicle compliance are two major areas that demand both a lot of time and money.

 

With leasing, it’s not your responsibility.

By choosing a lease which includes a maintenance package at the time of contract signing, you don’t need to worry about the ongoing costs, as long as you comply with the agreed mileage or usage limits. The leasing company will take care of this on your behalf.

 

It's more flexible

By working with your leasing company they can help you determine if the vans you have or think you need are suitable for your drivers and companys requirements. Not sure what you’ll need for the long term? Take advantage of a short or long term rental. This flexibility can offer extreme value, as it allows you to make the right choice for your current circumstances.

Virtual Handover - a view of your new Commercial Vehicle

Virtual Handover is provided to Alphabet customers receiving new vehicles via its Preferred Dealership Network.

 

In a first for the leasing industry, Alphabet’s Virtual Handover service now provides fleet managers and their drivers with a video guide to their new Commercial Vehicle from the supplying dealer, sent via an email link approximately two weeks before the vehicle delivery.

 

This is an extension of the Virtual Handover service launched for passenger cars earlier this year. What’s unique for Commercial Vehicles is for those vehicles supplied by our preferred conversion partner, a QR code is now included in the converted commercial vehicle. When the code is scanned via a driver’s smartphone, the code accesses a specific video guide to the custom conversion of the vehicle.
