Lex signs high profile RAC fleet contract

Lex has won an outsourcing contract with the RAC to manage its fleet of 3,350 cars and vans.

Worth in the region of £14m per annum, the sole supply contract will last four years.

The RAC fleet comprises 2,650 vans and 700 cars incorporating RAC Rescue and RAC Auto Windscreens.

Lex is supplying all vehicles on full maintenance contract hire with cars on three year/60,000 and vans on five years/120,000 mile agreements.

RAC has handed over all elements of running the fleet to Lex from ordering and supplying vehicles to all driver contact.

According to RAC, Lex was appointed based on the quality and comprehensive nature of their business process outsourcing solution, competitive pricing and our extensive knowledge of the RAC’s specific operational requirements.

Debbie Hewitt, Managing Director RAC said, "We chose Lex because of their absolute focus on the customer, the way they innovate in a very commoditised market and their commitment to continuously improve what they do for us.

“Everyone in the Lex team continues to demonstrate they truly understand our business and we believe this gives us the ideal combination of excellent service and very keen pricing. Their breadth of knowledge of this industry continues to bring significant benefit to RAC.”

“We are delighted RAC has chosen Lex as its vehicle management supply partner for another four years,” said Lex Managing Director Jon Walden.

“We have close links with our former sister company and have built up an in depth understanding of their particular needs and operating methods. We are now looking forward to working in partnership with the RAC and developing our relationship with Norwich Union,” he added.
