We’re pleased to share the news that our parent company, Wessex Fleet Solutions, has won the contract to power AA lease. Just 9 weeks in, our firm’s already managed to add a further 2,000 deals to the AA Lease site, in addition to the 1,000 we initially launched with.
Xcite Salary Sacrifice and Xcite Car Leasing both sit under the Wessex Fleet Solutions brand so we’re naturally excited to see this new partnership flourish. The still-growing selection of vehicles featured on the AA Lease site currently spans across 40 dedicated special offers, ensuring AA customers can find the perfect make, model and fuel type to suit their needs and budget.
The AA wanted to provide its customers with highly competitive leases across an extensive selection of vehicles. They saw in us, the perfect partner to help make it happen. The union will also prove instrumental in accelerating AA Lease’s electric offering, courtesy of the wide range of affordable electric vehicles we already have available to Xcite and Xcite Salary Sacrifice customers.
Electric vehicles currently account for almost 25% of our lease vehicles, and this trend is expected to continue. Nearly 50% are already either electric or feature hybrid electrification.
Our expertise in all aspects of electrification will enable the AA to gain an important foothold in this transformative area of mobility. Their website, due to be relaunched soon, will also feature a page dedicated to electric car leases.
Martin Smith, Director of AA Lease, comments: “More and more drivers are turning to leasing, and this partnership will offer a huge choice to motorists wanting alternatives to buying their next car. The shift towards leasing is especially evident in the electric vehicle (EV) market. With the looming phase-out of traditional petrol and diesel cars, drivers are eager to explore EVs without committing to long-term ownership. Leasing allows them to enjoy the benefits without worrying about battery issues, as they can easily switch to a new EV at the end of their contract.”
“This is a game-changing partnership for both the AA and Wessex Fleet Solutions,” says Will Bullen, Account Director at Wessex Fleet Solutions, who has returned to the company to spearhead this exciting new venture. “By joining forces, we’re creating a powerful synergy. The AA gains access to our extensive network and market-leading expertise, allowing them to offer their customers an exceptional range of leasing options. Simultaneously, Wessex Fleet Solutions benefits from the AA’s renowned brand and extensive reach, enabling us to connect with a wider audience and showcase our brilliant service. With over 40 special offers and nearly 3,000 prices, we’re confident that AA Lease will become the go-to destination for anyone looking to lease a vehicle.”
