Fleet management
How does moving an existing fleet to Full-Service Lease work?
We start by reviewing your existing fleet. Together, we look at your company's current vehicles, how they are used, their mileage and vehicle-related costs, and identify the solution that makes the most sense for your business. If needed, you can sell your existing vehicles to Mobire and gradually introduce new vehicles into your company's fleet, without having to replace the entire fleet at once.
Why should I choose fleet management instead of leasing or owning vehicles?
The aim of fleet management is to reduce the time and resources your company spends managing vehicles. Instead of handling vehicle procurement, maintenance, tyres, insurance, vehicle sales and other administrative tasks yourself, Mobire brings these activities together into one solution. This makes fleet costs more predictable and allows your company to focus on its core business.
Which companies is fleet management suitable for?
Fleet management is suitable for any company that wants to forecast its vehicle costs more accurately, have a complete overview of vehicle operating costs and free up valuable time currently spent on vehicle-related tasks.
Where should I start if I want to move my company's fleet to Full-Service Lease?
Contact us through the contact form or by phone, and we will find the solution that best suits your company's needs.
How does Full-Service Lease help keep company fleet costs under control?
With Full-Service Lease, vehicle-related costs are bundled into one monthly payment, giving you a better overview of total fleet costs and making long-term cost forecasting easier. Unexpected major expenses are avoided.
Do Mobire Full-Service Lease vehicles need to be recognised on the balance sheet, or are they an expense in the income statement?
For the company, Full-Service Lease is an off-balance-sheet obligation.
Is fleet management an expensive convenience service for a company?
Fleet management is not about overpaying for convenience. Its purpose is to reduce the time spent managing vehicles, make costs more predictable and reduce the workload for your company. In addition, Mobire can use its experience and purchasing power to help optimise the costs of the entire fleet, not just the monthly payment of an individual vehicle.
What does Mobire's purchasing power mean?
Mobire's purchasing power means that, due to the large volumes of vehicles and services we purchase, such as tyres and maintenance, we receive volume discounts that we can pass on to our customers. This allows us to offer companies competitive vehicle and service solutions and manage the entire fleet as a whole.
Does Euribor affect my monthly payment?
Fluctuations in Euribor do not affect the monthly payment for Mobire Full-Service Lease or Operating Lease. The agreed monthly payment is fixed for the duration of the agreement in accordance with the terms of the contract.
Can I buy the company vehicles at the end of the lease period with fleet management?
There is no purchase option with Full-Service Lease or Operating Lease. The purpose of these services is to use the vehicle for a fixed monthly payment, return it at the end of the lease period and replace it with a new vehicle.
What services are included in fleet management?
Fleet management covers the organisation of activities related to the use and management of vehicles according to the company's needs. These may include vehicle procurement, maintenance and repairs, tyre changes and storage, insurance, replacement vehicles, and vehicle sales or replacement. The exact scope of services depends on the solution selected.
Can I also sell my existing vehicles to Mobire?
Yes. A company can sell its existing vehicles to Mobire and choose new vehicles under Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease. This allows the fleet to be renewed gradually without the company having to handle the sale of old vehicles and procurement of new ones itself.
What happens if we exceed the agreed mileage?
We monitor vehicle mileage throughout the lease period and proactively address any potential excess mileage. If we see that the actual mileage differs significantly from the mileage originally agreed, we will inform the company in good time and, if necessary, discuss changing the terms of the agreement.
Why should I choose Mobire over other similar service providers?
Mobire does more than provide vehicles – we help companies manage their entire fleet. Our solution starts with understanding the company's actual needs and costs and can include vehicle procurement, the sale of existing vehicles, maintenance, tyres, insurance, replacement vehicles and fleet renewal. One partner can manage the entire fleet lifecycle. We have our own in-house customer service team that supports customers 24/7.
If my company needs a car immediately, is that possible?
Yes. Mobire has a selection of new and used vehicles in stock that can be made available to the company quickly after the agreement is signed. Vehicle availability and delivery time depend on the specific vehicle.
Can I also rent a vehicle from Mobire for just one day if my company needs one?
Yes. Mobire has a fleet of short-term rental vehicles that can also be rented for shorter periods. This can be a solution for temporary work assignments, a replacement vehicle or a short-term need for an additional vehicle.
Can I also choose electric vehicles for my company fleet from Mobire?
Yes. Mobire also offers electric vehicles, and companies can add electric vehicles to their fleet through either Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease. When selecting a suitable model, we consider factors such as the vehicle's intended use, mileage and charging options.
Can Mobire fleet management help reduce my company's CO₂ footprint and achieve ESG goals?
Yes. Fleet management can help a company reduce transport-related CO₂ emissions, particularly when vehicle use, mileage and powertrains are reviewed systematically as part of fleet renewal. Introducing electric and hybrid vehicles, choosing the right vehicle size and managing the fleet more efficiently can help reduce the environmental impact of company transport.
However, it is important to look at the fleet as a whole – ESG goals cannot be achieved simply by choosing an electric vehicle, but through well-planned fleet management.
Operating lease
Does operating lease work for both private individuals and businesses?
Yes. Operating lease is available to both private individuals and businesses who want to use a new car with a fixed monthly payment without the obligation of ownership.
Why should I choose operating lease over leasing?
Operating lease is a more affordable alternative to leasing, where you do not have to worry about interest, Euribor or selling the car later. Use the car for a fixed monthly payment and return or exchange it when your needs change.
Is operating lease a more sensible option than buying a car?
If you want to use a new car without owning it and want to change your car every 3–5 years without having to deal with selling it, operating lease can be a sensible solution.
Does operating lease also work if I drive a lot?
Yes. Operating lease is also suitable for higher mileage. Annual mileage options of 10,000 km, 20,000 km and 30,000 km are available for operating lease.
Is operating lease a good choice for a family car?
Yes. With operating lease, you can choose a new car that fits your family’s needs and, at the end of the rental period, switch to another model if you wish. Operating lease also makes it flexible to return or exchange the car if your family’s needs change.

No. The operating lease monthly payment is fixed and does not change during the rental period due to changes in Euribor.

If you would nevertheless prefer a lower monthly payment, you can pay an initial rental payment, which will reduce your monthly operating lease payment accordingly.
What is the initial rental payment?
The initial rental payment is an upfront payment that proportionally reduces the customer’s monthly payment. You can choose whether to start your operating lease with a €0 initial rental payment or reduce your monthly payment by paying an initial rental payment at the beginning of the rental period.
Who arranges maintenance and tyre changes?
With operating lease, maintenance, tyre changes and other vehicle-related services are arranged through our partners. These services are not included in the operating lease monthly payment and are paid for as needed. Our 24/7 customer service team can advise you on choosing a suitable service provider at 13500.

How does selling my car to Mobire work?
Selling your car to Mobire starts with a vehicle assessment. Send us your car’s details and photos.

How is the purchase price of my car determined?
The purchase price is based on several factors. We consider the car’s make and model, age, mileage, equipment, technical and visual condition, as well as the current market situation.

Do I have to use the money from selling my old car as the initial rental payment?
No. You do not have to use the money from selling your car as the initial payment for your new rental. Depending on your preference, we can either transfer the sale amount to your bank account or you can use it as the initial rental payment for your new car, reducing your monthly rental payment.
Will you buy my car if it has damage?
Yes, we also assess cars with damage. The extent of the damage and its impact on the car’s value are taken into account when making the purchase offer. The exact price depends on the type and extent of the damage and the vehicle’s overall condition.
Do you also buy accident-damaged or non-roadworthy cars?
For accident-damaged or non-roadworthy cars, we assess each vehicle individually. Send us the car’s details and, if possible, photos of the damage, and we will let you know whether we can make you a purchase offer.
Do I have to choose a new car from Mobire’s selection to sell my old car to Mobire?

You do not have to deal with creating an advert, potential buyers or arranging the sale yourself. Sell your old car to Mobire and choose a new car from our selection on an Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease. We can either transfer the money from the sale of your old car to your bank account or you can use it as the initial rental payment for your new car, reducing your monthly rental payment.
How quickly can you make me a purchase offer for my car?
We will do our best to make you a purchase offer by the next business day. The speed of the offer depends on how complete the information provided about the car is and whether we need any additional information or an inspection to assess its condition. If you send us the car’s details, photos and any other necessary information straight away, we can start the assessment quickly.

Our Full-Service Lease cars are new and covered by a valid warranty. As a result, regular scheduled maintenance is generally all that is required.

Compare services
What is the difference between Operating Lease, Full-Service Lease and Leasing?
The main difference lies in what is included in the monthly payment and which responsibilities remain with you. With an Operating Lease, you pay for using the car and arrange maintenance, insurance and other car-related services yourself. With a Full-Service Lease, most of these services are already included in the monthly payment. Leasing is intended for acquiring ownership of the car, meaning that as the owner, you are responsible for managing the car as well as its future sale and value.
Which is better – Operating Lease or Leasing?
It depends on your goals. If you want to own the car and are prepared to deal with its future sale and changes in its value, leasing may be a suitable solution. If your goal is to use a new car rather than own it, an Operating Lease may be a simpler and more practical solution.
Which is better – Full-Service Lease or Leasing?
If you want as little car-related administration as possible and predictable vehicle costs, a Full-Service Lease is a more convenient solution. If your goal is to own the car and you are prepared to arrange maintenance, insurance and other car-related responsibilities yourself, leasing may be more suitable.
How do I choose between Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease?
The choice depends on how much of the car-related services you want to arrange yourself. An Operating Lease is suitable for an individual or business that prefers to take care of maintenance, insurance and tyre services themselves. A Full-Service Lease is designed for those who want most of these services to be included in the monthly payment.
Are Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease monthly payments affected by Euribor?
No. Both the Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease monthly payments are fixed and do not change during the rental period due to changes in Euribor.
What is the residual value of a car under an Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease?
Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease are not financial services. The car is used for an agreed rental period at a fixed monthly payment. Therefore, these services do not have a residual value for the vehicle.
What happens to the car at the end of the rental period?
With an Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease, you return the car to Mobire and can choose a new car from our selection for your next rental period. With leasing, what happens next depends on the terms of your leasing agreement. The car may be purchased, sold or returned in accordance with the agreement.
Is Full-Service Lease more expensive than Operating Lease?
The Full-Service Lease monthly payment is generally higher because, in addition to using the car, it includes agreed car-related services such as maintenance, insurance, tyre services and other services. With an Operating Lease, the customer arranges and pays for these services separately. However, it would not be accurate to say that Full-Service Lease is a more expensive solution. Its monthly payment is higher because it includes car-related costs, while with an Operating Lease, the customer pays for these costs as they arise and according to their needs. In other words, Full-Service Lease provides a more stable distribution of costs, while Operating Lease means paying for costs as they occur.
Which solution is suitable for a business?
It depends on the needs of the business. An Operating Lease is suitable for a company that wants a lower monthly payment and prefers to manage its vehicles itself. A Full-Service Lease is a good choice for a business that wants to reduce the time spent managing its fleet, consolidate most vehicle-related costs under one partner and one monthly payment, and benefit from more predictable long-term costs.
Is leasing always cheaper than Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease?
Not at all. It is worth comparing the total cost of using the car rather than just the monthly payment or purchase price. With leasing, you generally need to account for maintenance, insurance, tyres, potential interest costs and depreciation. With Full-Service Lease and Operating Lease, the total cost depends on which services are included in the monthly payment and which remain the customer's responsibility. It is also worth noting that Mobire purchases vehicles in large volumes and receives significant volume discounts, which we pass on to our customers.
Which solution is suitable for someone who wants to drive a new car regularly?
If you want to change your car every few years without having to deal with selling it or worrying about depreciation, Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease are both suitable options for you.
Can I switch from an Operating Lease to a Full-Service Lease later?
Yes. At the end of the rental period, you can choose the solution that best suits your needs. If your needs have changed, you can switch from Operating Lease to Full-Service Lease or vice versa, subject to the applicable terms.
Buying a car, leasing or renting – which makes more sense?
The most suitable solution depends on your expectations. If you want to own the car, leasing or a car loan may be suitable. If you place greater importance on using a new car without having to worry about selling it later or its residual value, it is worth considering an Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease. When making your decision, we recommend comparing the total cost of using the car rather than just the monthly payment or purchase price.
Is Operating Lease cheaper than leasing?
The monthly payment for an Operating Lease is generally lower than for a bank leasing agreement. With both options, you pay separately for maintenance, insurance, tyres and other car-related costs. The difference is that an Operating Lease focuses on using the car, while leasing is a way to finance the purchase of a car. With leasing, you also have the costs and responsibilities that come with owning the car. So, when comparing the two, it is important to look at the total cost of using the car, not just the monthly payment.
Is Full-Service Lease more expensive than leasing?
The Full-Service Lease monthly payment may initially appear higher because, in addition to using the car, it includes car-related services such as maintenance, tyre services, insurance and more. For this reason, it is worth comparing the total cost of using the car rather than just the monthly payment. When all relevant costs are taken into account, the Full-Service Lease monthly payment can be a reasonable option.
Is renting a car more practical than leasing?
It depends on your goals. If you want to own the car, leasing or a car loan may be more suitable. If you want to use a new car without having to worry about selling it later or its residual value, Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease may be more practical solutions.
Is Operating Lease also suitable for businesses?
Yes. Operating Lease is suitable for businesses that want to use new cars with a lower monthly payment and prefer to arrange maintenance, insurance and other car-related services themselves.
Is Full-Service Lease also suitable for private individuals?
Yes. Full-Service Lease is suitable for private individuals who want to use a new car and prefer most car-related services to be bundled into one monthly payment, helping to avoid unexpected expenses. It also reduces the administrative burden associated with managing the car.
Can I change the car with an Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease?
Yes. At the end of the rental period, you can choose a new car. Subject to the terms of the rental agreement, it may also be possible to change or return the car before the end of the rental period.
Is a down payment required for Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease?
There is no down payment for Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease vehicles. Instead, a rental start fee may apply. Both Operating Lease and Full-Service Lease can be selected with a rental start fee or with a €0 rental start fee. Exact terms depend on the selected vehicle and offer.
What is the total cost of using a car?
The total cost of using a car includes, in addition to the monthly payment, maintenance, insurance, tyres, government taxes, repairs and other costs associated with using the vehicle. When comparing different solutions, it is worth considering all these costs rather than just the size of the monthly payment.
Do I have to sell the car later with an Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease?
No. With both services, you return the car to Mobire at the end of the rental period in accordance with the terms of the agreement. If you wish, you can choose another new car.
Does leasing involve a risk of the car losing value?
Yes. For example, if the car's market value at the end of the leasing period is lower than its residual value and the lessee is required to buy the car, or if selling the car later proves difficult. It is also important to keep in mind that the future selling price of a car depends on factors such as the brand, model, mileage, condition and the used-car market.
Are Operating Lease or Full-Service Lease suitable for someone who wants to change cars more frequently?
Yes. Both solutions are well suited to individuals and businesses that want to drive a newer car regularly without having to deal with selling the car later or changes in its value.
Do I need to know a lot about cars to choose the right solution?
No. We can help you find a solution based on your needs and driving habits. If you prefer to make more decisions about the car-related services yourself, an Operating Lease may be suitable. If you prefer most of the car management to be taken care of for you, a Full-Service Lease may be the better choice.
