The 2018 Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America awards are determined through the analysis of eight different factors that make up a fleet vehicle’s cost-of-ownership. These factors are depreciation, fees and taxes, financing, fuel costs, insurance costs, maintenance costs, opportunity cost, and repair costs. The factors are weighed in 28 different ownership and mileage scenarios, ranging from 24 months to 60 months of ownership and 10,000 to 40,000 annual miles.

“As more manufacturers make a focused effort marketing to the fleet industry, buyers have an increasing number of high quality vehicles from which to choose,” said Vincentric President, David Wurster. “Fleet operators can use our awards to narrow their choices and identify the vehicles that bring the best value to their selector list.”
