New Fleet Services rates
On July 1 new Fleet Services rates will go into effect. Faced with a reduced fleet size, Fleet Services worked hard to limit rate increases in an effort to lessen the impact on departments in the current economic climate. This announcement outlines the changes to Fleet Services rates that may affect your department. The 2009-2010 rates are listed on the Fleet Services Web site.
An overview of the changes and additions to the current rate structure for 2009-2010:
- The depreciation cycle for all Fleet vehicles will be extended. Hybrids will increase from 7 to 10 years. All other vehicles will increase by one year.
- The purchase or replacement of new and existing vehicles will be suspended. Any requests must satisfy a pressing business need that cannot be satisfied with a vehicle in the University’s existing fleet.
- A uniform rate will be applied to both daily and weekly rentals.
- Your new 2009-2010 invoice will include separate line items for the following costs: Rental rate, mileage rate, fuel, parking and insurance.
- Service fees for UW vehicles that are not covered by a Fleet Services rental agreement will be charged at an hourly labor rate that incorporates overhead costs.
- External agency rentals will be charged at market cost when there are not enough fleet vehicles to meet customer demand.
- There are now 14 vehicle price groups. The new price groups are as follows:
1. Heavy Trucks
2. Minivan/Small SUV
3. Hybrid SUV (new)
4. Large SUV
5. 12 Passenger Van
6. Shuttle Van (new)
