2026 Agenda

Wear and tear can quietly erode fleet budgets if not actively managed. This session focuses on practical ways to shield your organisation from excess costs at end of contract while also managing on-costs during the term of the lease. We’ll cover how to set and communicate driver standards, monitor vehicle condition and use data to identify risk areas earlier. You’ll learn how to challenge unfair wear and tear charges, understand where liability really sits, and document evidence effectively. We’ll also explore strategies for managing offhire damage and vehicles returned by leavers, turning what is often a painful, adhoc process into a predictable, controlled part of fleet operations.
