The Motorlease Corporation

What The Motorlease Corporation does

The Motorlease Corporation is a privately held, family-founded fleet management and leasing company headquartered in Farmington, Connecticut, operating since 1946 with a stated focus on mid-size fleets of approximately 20 to 200+ vehicles. The company provides outsourced fleet leasing, full-service fleet management, and a suite of ancillary services including Driver Concierge, Title and Registration, Collision Management, Personal Reporting, Tolls and Fuel, Driver Safety, Fleet Maintenance and Repair, Acquisitions and Remarketing, Fleet Financing, and Reimbursements, delivered through both Fully-Managed and Self-Managed service models. Its proprietary touchpoints are limited to a Fleet Portal and Driver Portal at motorlease360.com; no deeper technology platforms, algorithms, or AI systems are publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through recurring lease payments and fleet management fees on multi-year contracts with quote-based, custom pricing tailored to fleet size, vehicle mix, and service scope.

The company sells almost exclusively through a direct, relationship-led motion anchored by a free Fleet Assessment funnel, toll-free and local phone lines, and dedicated named account managers, supported by content marketing (blog, "Fleet Talk with Joe" video series, LinkedIn) and a regional Best Places to Work employer brand. Customer logos span publishing, life sciences, manufacturing, consumer goods, environmental services, utilities, and nonprofits, with multiple multi-decade relationships (Beiersdorf for 40 years, May Institute for 25 years). Geographic reach is described as nationwide within the United States, with a dedicated service track for European-headquartered companies operating fleets in the US. As of July 2025, leadership was formalized into a C-Suite (President/CEO Jeffrey Perkins, CCO Joe Pelehach, CAO Justin Mesick) with AVP roles filled entirely via internal promotion, alongside a newly created Marketing Department.
