Companies for whom cars are an essential part of business operations have long been used to leasing and managing their own fleet. Today, company-owned vehicles are like the Nokia 3310 – once indispensable, now retro – because there are far more efficient and sensible alternatives. Accountants have a knack for finding every extra cent overspent in Excel. Even the toughest CEO doesn’t escape scrutiny if caught overspending… yet the money leaking from a car fleet often goes unnoticed due to old habits. Here are the seven main reasons why more and more companies in Estonia and the Baltics are switching from ownership and leasing to Mobire’s full-service rental.
- Fixed Costs, One Invoice
- Leasing payments
- Fuel receipts
- Insurance invoices
- Car tax
- Maintenance invoices
- New tires
- Repair bills
- Car wash charges
- Inspection bills
- …
How many hours do you spend managing and inputting fleet-related invoices? With full-service rental, all costs – maintenance, tires, insurance, even a replacement car – are combined into one fixed monthly payment, unaffected by Euribor or price increases. Using Mobire’s discounted fuel card, you can also add fuel and car wash charges to the same invoice, so the entire fleet shows up on a single bill – freeing your accountant to focus on more important matters. With this all-in-one service, car-related expenses become highly predictable. There’s no more need to cover a massive repair bill in the same month as car tax and new tires. The annual budgeted cost stays on track with Mobire.
2. The Right Tool for the Job, Not Just a Compromise
Because of cost and admin burden, many companies end up choosing a “good enough” car, rather than the one truly suited for the job. Understandable – if car maintenance is the company’s responsibility, it’s easier to have one brand to simplify logistics.
With Mobire, there’s no need for compromise: every purpose gets the ideal car. The CEO can drive an exclusive EV, the technician a spacious van, and the sales rep a sensible sedan. There’s no need to standardize – Mobire handles all maintenance, repairs, and administration. You can filter vehicles based on company needs or budget and easily compare options. If you require something special – like a refrigerated van, 4×4 pickup, or luxury electric SUV – Mobire collaborates with various dealers and offers options tailored to your business needs and ESG goals. For longer delivery times, we provide a replacement vehicle to keep operations running. In short: one contact, zero compromises, and a fleet that fits your business perfectly.
3. Forget Fleet Management (and Hiring Someone for It)
If your fleet has ten or more vehicles, keeping track of mileage, inspections, insurance, and service intervals becomes a full-time job. With Mobire’s service, that’s no longer necessary. Professional fleet management is included in the full service rental package. We coordinate servicing, tire changes, insurance, and claims through a single point of contact. Result: zero manual work and fewer mistakes. Your staff can focus on revenue-generating activities instead of car maintenance.
4. €0 Upfront Cost and a Lighter Balance Sheet
With traditional leasing, starting or renewing a fleet costs thousands of euros. With Mobire, startup costs are €0 – no down payment or contract fee. That money can instead go into product development, marketing, or working capital – areas that grow your business rather than sit idle in a parking lot. Full-service rental doesn’t appear on the balance sheet as a loan obligation. Your credit limit remains available for strategic investments, and your company looks financially healthier to the bank. Leasing or buying also requires tracking depreciation, as cars lose value constantly. In full-service rental, those capital expenditures become operating expenses: you pay for usage, not ownership. Result: a lighter balance sheet, better creditworthiness, and capital working where your business needs it most.
5. No Need to Endure Leasing to the End
Already leasing a fleet that’s burdening your balance sheet and staff, or aging vehicles sitting idle? You might be reading this with frustration: “Great, now you show me this service – but it’s too late.”
Why too late? Old arrangements don’t have to dictate your future – Mobire is ready to refinance your existing fleet and take over both the financial obligations and the management burden.
How it works:
- Fleet analysis and evaluation – we assess each vehicle’s status, remaining
lease balances, and market value. - Purchase offer – we make a clear written offer to buy the entire fleet.
- Buyout from bank or company – we pay the remaining lease balance, and the
vehicles transfer to Mobire’s ownership. - Full-service rental agreements – fixed monthly fee, no down payment, all
costs on one invoice. - Ongoing updates and replacements – if a car becomes outdated or needs
change, we swap it without legal hassle.
6. Accidents Happen – But Work Doesn’t Stop
Full-service rental is not just about easier bookkeeping and scheduling maintenance. Accidents and their headaches have turned more than a few entrepreneurs gray. Mobire handles the entire claims process: gives instructions (24/7 customer service), organizes towing, fills out insurance paperwork, and ensures a replacement car by the next workday. The typical “insurance drama” – waiting for parts, repair bills, explaining incidents to insurers – all of that stays with Mobire. Meanwhile, your team keeps working in the replacement car.
7. Selling Old Cars? No Thanks!
Full-service rental contracts usually last from one to five years, but business never stands still. New opportunities or changes in the market can’t always be planned years in advance. With Mobire, there’s no need to craft sales ads for a car that’s no longer suitable or grit your teeth to endure it to the end of the term. Flexibility is part of a good convenience service.
- If the fleet needs downsizing: you can return vehicles early. With leasing, you’d have to cover the full residual value and handle resale. With Mobire, you pay only an early termination fee – and that’s it.
- If new opportunities or ESG goals require different vehicles: you can swap them before the lease ends.
Your fleet moves with your business – not tied to decisions made years ago.
