What Intelligent Car Leasing does

Intelligent Car Leasing was a UK-based car leasing broker that has merged with Fleet Alliance, with existing customers now served through the Fleet Alliance platform. Fleet Alliance Limited is a private, FCA-authorised (reference 673150) independent credit broker and BVRLA member, registered in Scotland and operating as part of Global Vehicle Group Ltd. The company acts as an intermediary between customers and a panel of leading UK vehicle finance funders, using a multi-bid approach to secure competitive lease terms rather than acting as a direct lender.

Fleet Alliance offers personal car leasing, business and van leasing, and electric vehicle leasing through a subscription-based monthly payment model, supplemented by ancillary revenue from maintenance packages, excess mileage charges, early termination fees, and GAP insurance. The company also generates commission from funders for customer introductions. Its product surface extends to a salary sacrifice car scheme (with claimed savings of up to 60% on EVs), Fleet 360 services segmented by fleet size, an E-Fleet sub-brand, sustainable mobility consulting, and a self-service e-fleet customer portal. All leases include road tax, manufacturer warranty, and free delivery, with terms typically of 2-4 years.

The company serves a horizontally diversified customer base spanning individual consumers, SMBs, mid-market businesses, and large corporates (100+ vehicles), with a portfolio of over 30,000 vehicles under management. Distribution combines direct sales (phone/callback), website self-service quoting, and a manufacturer dealer network. Fleet Alliance operates exclusively within the UK market and claims over 20 years of award-winning industry experience, though no financial performance data, funding history, or detailed headcount figures were disclosed in the available source material.
