THE CHALLENGE
The County of Inyo had a limited capital budget which made it difficult to replace motor pool vehicles. The County was operating an aged fleet and drivers had to travel far distances to reach the nearest, preferred maintenance facility. Based on unplanned costs and a lot of driver downtime, the County started looking for an alternative to help with vehicle leasing and maintenance services.
THE SOLUTION
Enterprise Fleet Management responded to an RFP and demonstrated an understanding of the County’s needs. By partnering with Enterprise, the County was able to acquire new vehicles and update the condition and reliability of its fleet. The newer vehicles immediately reduced the County’s maintenance expenses and lowered fuel costs by providing high fuel efficiency vehicles. Enterprise monitors all maintenance costs with the Maintenance Management Program, eliminating unnecessary repairs and over-priced services. Additionally, with a wide network of local shops throughout the County, drivers are always in close proximity to maintenance services.
