Case Study: Quileute Tribal Council achieves 10% fleet cost reduction with Enterprise Fleet Management

Quileute Tribe Sees 10% Reduction In Fleet Costs With 3-Year Cycle Plan

Quileute Tribal Council, a government tribal council in La Push, WA, needed a more dependable fleet management partner after experiencing high turnover from a previous provider, poor support for maintenance and repairs, delays in outfitting enforcement vehicles, and rising costs as its 23-vehicle fleet aged. Enterprise Fleet Management provided fleet management services to help address these operational challenges.

Enterprise Fleet Management switched the tribe to a local, reliable support model and helped implement a 3-year vehicle replacement cycle instead of a 7-year/70,000-mile plan. This reduced downtime, administrative burden, and lease costs while improving resale value; over 11 years, the tribe cut overall fleet spend by nearly 10%, reduced administrative costs by 15%, and achieved resale prices averaging 25% above industry benchmarks.
