The Business Motoring Awards honors best-in-class entries in the fleet world, considering everything from new vehicle choices, innovative service offerings, and top rental car companies for both short-term and long-term rentals.

This year’s entries “demonstrated great service offering and excellent support structure services, but the winners showed how they are successfully revolutionizing fleet procurement services to SMEs,” proclaimed the awards website.
