Case Study: Helping a Private Healthcare Provider Cut Costs & Go Green
Client Overview
Organisation Type: Private healthcare provider
Size: 12-vehicle fleet supporting care teams and administrative staff
Locations: London, Kent, Surrey
Fleet Use:
Daily home visits to patients
Medical equipment and prescription deliveries
Management travel between clinic locations
The challenge
The client approached us with several urgent issues:
Their existing fleet was over 5 years old and becoming unreliable
Fuel and maintenance costs had increased significantly over the past 12 months
The organisation had sustainability targets to hit by 2026, including cutting vehicle emissions by at least 30%
Missed appointments were occurring due to vehicle breakdowns and delays
The leadership team lacked the time and expertise to manage a full vehicle transition
They needed a solution that would:
Reduce downtime and service disruption
Align with their environmental strategy
Improve employee satisfaction
Avoid large capital expenditure
The solution
Prestige Vehicle Leasing conducted a full fleet consultation, including:
✅ Analysing existing mileage, trip frequency, vehicle usage
✅ Forecasting fuel and repair costs over 36 months
✅ Evaluating CO₂ emissions across the fleet
✅ Presenting a set of plug-in hybrid and EV options that suited different job roles
✅ Providing a mix of 36 and 48 month lease terms to stagger renewals and spread budget impact

6x Toyota Yaris Hybrid (for community care teams)
3x Hyundai Kona Electric (for longer-range visits and inter-clinic staff)
2x Peugeot e-Partner vans (for medical delivery and equipment transport)
