International Car Lease Holding

What International Car Lease Holding does

International Car Lease Holding is a privately held Dutch holding company, headquartered in Tilburg and majority-owned by the Van Mossel Automotive Group with the De Mandemakers Groep as the second shareholder. It operates as the largest non-bank-affiliated car leasing company in the Netherlands, delivering operational and financial leasing, fleet management, short-term rental, and private consumer leasing through a portfolio of seven brands: Van Mossel Autolease, Van Mossel Privé Lease, J&T Autolease, DirectLease, Van Mossel Westlease, Van Mossel Shortlease & Rent, and Kyoto Lease. Its customer base spans sole traders, SMEs, and large enterprises in the corporate segment, Belgian SMEs through Westlease, freelancers and self-employed professionals, and private consumers, with service delivery across the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany.

The group's competitive model rests on pooling vehicle procurement, OEM financing leverage, and shared service functions across all seven labels to deliver pricing advantages that single-brand lessors cannot match. Brands are segmented by customer profile and channel mix: Van Mossel Autolease and J&T Autolease use direct sales teams and dedicated account managers for corporate clients; DirectLease runs an online-first model that pioneered internet-based car leasing in 2001; Van Mossel Privé Lease serves Dutch private consumers under the Keurmerk Private Lease quality mark; Van Mossel Westlease runs a near-5,000-vehicle fleet focused on Belgian SMEs; and Van Mossel Shortlease & Rent operates a 2,000+ vehicle flexible-rental fleet. Supporting capabilities include the Van Mossel Automotive Group dealer network, dedicated sales staff per client, ISO 9001:2015-certified processes at J&T Autolease, and digital tooling such as online cost-analysis portals, the DirectLease ordering platform, the BerijdersHulp driver-assistance app, and the ANWB-tested TankService app.

The revenue model is recurring subscription-based across long-term leasing, short-term rental, and bundled fleet management services. Go-to-market motions vary by label — consultative and dealer-network-driven for corporate customers, fully online/self-serve for DirectLease and Van Mossel Privé Lease, and direct sales plus online booking for Shortlease & Rent and Westlease. Recent operational signals include the 2025 VZR "Beste Leasemaatschappij" award to Van Mossel Privé Lease, the 2025 VZR Innovatie Award for Van Mossel Autolease, and ongoing portfolio expansion across the four-country footprint.

• ALD Automotive (legacy): ALD Automotive, now part of Ayvens, was a standalone global full-service leasing player pre-merger and remains relevant as the brand ICLH historically benchmarked against in the Dutch and Belgian corporate fleet market with very similar operating lease and fleet management offerings.
• ANWB Autolease: ANWB Autolease is the mobility/leasing arm of the Dutch ANWB mobility organisation, providing corporate and private car leasing in the Netherlands. It is a direct Dutch competitor to Van Mossel Autolease and Van Mossel Privé Lease, leveraging ANWB's strong consumer brand.
