High costs and bad for the environment

There are often high costs associated with leasing. Think of the lease price itself, but also of maintenance, insurance and fuel. For organizations, this can be a significant drain on the budget. Especially when cars are not used optimally. Although there are more and more electric cars, traditional cars emit CO2 and air pollutants such as particulates and nitrogen dioxide. Enough reason to downsize your car fleet.
