Case Study: City of La Quinta achieves 12% fleet cost savings with Enterprise Fleet Management

La Quinta Will Replace All of Its Vehicles and Reduce Costs by 12%

The City of La Quinta, a municipality with a pool of 39 vehicles, was facing rising maintenance and repair costs as more than 30 of its vehicles had aged beyond 10 years. The city needed a way to replace its fleet without major upfront spending or blowing its budget, and turned to Enterprise Fleet Management for help.

Enterprise Fleet Management implemented a right-sized fleet program with a three-year replacement plan and a fixed-budget maintenance program to lower operating costs and streamline upkeep. The solution is projected to reduce fleet operating costs by 12% over 10 years and cut maintenance expenses by about 70%, while also helping the city exceed resale estimates by $740 per vehicle.
