What is a Fleet Vehicle?

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Answer
A fleet vehicle can be defined in a few different ways depending upon the state in which it is titled. However, for a vehicle to be listed on a CARFAX report as a "fleet vehicle," it is necessary for the state department of motor vehicles to code the vehicle's title appropriately.
By proxy of the word "fleet", the definition alone suggests that this vehicle is just one vehicle in a group of cars owned by the same registered owner.

A fleet vehicle can be a vehicle that falls into the following categories:

1. a vehicle that is owned by a company and listed under the company's name as owner
2. a vehicle owned by a rental agency, but listed as a fleet because they own more than one car
3. a vehicle owned by a company but driven by an employee either as a private car or a
commercial car
4. a vehicle owned by a bank or financial institution as part of a lease portfolio, but leased to
a private individual
5. a vehicle that is part of a dealer's inventory, which he or she in turn can bring to auction to sell

Just because a vehicle is flagged as a fleet vehicle, does not mean that it was abused or damaged. Many fleet cars are very well-maintained, as they undergo regularly scheduled maintenance. However, you may have cause for concern if a vehicle was used commercially, as they do tend to be driven somewhat harder than the average vehicle.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

    • good to know, thanks
    • Could you please answer: What is a Commercial Vehicle and what is a Personal Vehicle? Thanks.
    • this sounds like US content -- state department of motor vehicle or DMV is a US thing. so the question is: does this apply in Canada?
      • The concept should be the similar. For example, I am driving a fleet car right now . Many companies have such leased or rented fleet cars for business uses,
        or in some special cases for personal usage as a benefit to their employees.
    • Ok, this actually can be found in a dictionary -- Fleet Vehicle: any of a group of basic inexpensive vehicles bought by a company or organization for its employees, like salespeople, to use; also called fleet car
