MSL to offer brokers vehicle management services

MSL Group (“MSL”) which includes MSL Legal Expenses in its stable, has extended its offering to the broker market with the introduction of a new vehicle supply and management service.

Managed in association with sister company MSL Vehicle Rental, the new offering branded MSL Vehicle Solutions includes short and long-term vehicle rental packages for small and medium-sized businesses and supports employee cash-for-car schemes.

MSL said the launch of the vehicle rental and management service was driven by the needs of businesses to control their costs and meet environmental targets by selecting vehicles with low emissions for company use.

MSL Head of Sales Richard Bewes explained: "We recognised that businesses were increasingly sourcing lower-emission vehicles to realise a number of benefits. These included greater tax breaks, lower running costs and or course, a reduced environmental impact - often a key component of a business's response to corporate social responsibility.”

"We are in a unique position within the Group whereby we can provide vehicle acquisition and disposal, manage depreciation, funding and ongoing repair and maintenance. This leaves business-owners free to focus on core activity."

Business and personal long-term vehicle rental is becoming one of the most common methods of vehicle financing for businesses and those employees who are eligible for company-run cash-for-car programmes.

MSL is able to provide a complete service for brokers due to having trading relationships with a broad range of manufacturers and dealerships, enabling it to source most types of low-emission vehicles. In addition, MSL is launching a fleet management service and offers a service delivery desk, offering help and advice for clients.

MSL’s claims handling services offers all aspects of the end-to-end claims process including first notification of loss, provision of hire cars where required and offering drivers and passengers personal injury claims assistance.

The launch of MSL Vehicle Solutions is part of a wider strategy at MSL, which aims to broaden the offering for brokers and their SME clients. MSL Group represents greater diversification of services complementing the existing MSL LE product range and extending the relationship with clients.

The company plans to launch new legal expenses produces and service products for brokers over the second half of the year.
