Corporate fleet management solutions
Let us change the way you think about business travel with low cost, low emission solutions for everyone from small teams to large enterprise
How it works
The system provided by Co wheels allows fleet cars to be accessed and managed remotely. There is no staff time needed to allocate keys or collate information and detailed reports are provided which allow you to manage staff travel effectively and ensure your resources are used to maximum efficiency. Our systems are also set up to allow automatic switchover of corporate vehicles to be opened up outside of hours to general members of the public enabling local authorities to generate revenues to reduce costs
