Donlen, provider of financing and fleet management solutions, officially launched Donlen Dealer Direct, a new remarketing channel designed to improve returns for customers.
Donlen Dealer Direct allows Donlen to access a broad buyer base of fleet-focused dealers throughout the country. With more than 100 dedicated sales people promoting Donlen vehicles to these dealers directly, all sales bypass the auction channel. As a result, the returns to our customers are higher.
“We are excited to announce this new channel that will benefit all of our clients. Our customers can now access a dealer network that consists of thousands of locations that will buy fleet vehicles. Not only will our clients have access to a new sales channel that will deliver funds greater than what they would get through the typical auction channels, but they will also see shorter days to sell as well as a lower program cost,” said Dan Powers, Director of Vehicle Remarketing. “The efficiency of our new remarketing channel to dealerships is unparalleled in the fleet industry. We expect this new solution will be well received by our customers.”
Dealer Direct is a true partnership with our parent company Hertz, and the end result is a new opportunity for Donlen customers to see quicker transactions and a greater return on their vehicle sales.
