Car Lease Benchmark 2024: Results & Trends

In this benchmark first edition, leading Dutch platforms stand out while the rest of the market shows significant disparities in functionalities and user experience.

Car leasing top performers distinguish themselves with complete end-to-end digital offering services including simulation tools and tailoring options, while the remainder provides a more limited digital customer journey.

Despite the Dutch outstanding performance as Digital Leaders, Belgium claims the #1 position with LeasePlan.

Below are some key takeaways on how the providers performed and the overall areas for improvement:

  • Providing a robust simulation tool gives top players a significant advantage over those with limited or no simulation options.
  • The customer portal and app availability score highest among all groups, indicating the industry's acknowledgement of digital tools' role in improving customer engagement and post-sales support.
  • User experience (UX) and support is an area disparity in terms of performance, yet with improvement opportunities for all car lease providers.
  • Subscription services score the lowest among all groups, revealing a missing end-to-end digital customer experience in the business car leasing market.
