I R*nt My Vans
People used to think of r*ntals as a last resort. But fleets today are realizing how r*nting with Kingbee compliments their current strategy by providing vans immediately on short-term, flexible contracts.
Listen to these fleet managers discuss how r*nting added efficiency to their fleets. In 3-4 weeks, you could have brand new vans wrapped in your company’s branding, upfitted with shelves and ladder racks, and shipped to your location. It’s time to get comfortable with r*nting.

Fuel Cards 101: How to Implement Fuel Cards into Your Fleet
By Jillian Grenier, Assistant Director, Fleet Products at Merchants Fleet
You can’t regulate fuel prices, but there are some factors you can control to maintain operations and optimize fleet fuel efficiency, which is where the importance of a fleet fuel card comes in.
