Corporate Tech Fleets
We help small IT firms in Reading provide cars as a perk without the balance sheet risk. Instead of traditional company cars, we provide flexible subscriptions for your staff. If an employee leaves, the cost stops immediately. You get a single invoice for the whole team, which makes VAT returns easier. We can provide a mix of EVs and Hybrids to help meet your company's green goals. Most of our corporate clients start with 3 or 4 vehicles. We offer a dedicated account manager for fleets over 5 cars.
Keep your balance sheet clean in the Thames Valley
Most small tech firms in Reading make the mistake of signing 3-year or 4-year leases for their senior developers. When a team member moves on after 14 months, the company gets hit with early exit fees that can top £2,300 per vehicle. Off Hours Coding fixes this. We provide cars on a rolling monthly basis. Your company takes on no long-term debt. This keeps your credit lines open for actual business needs like server hardware or office space in Station Road. We currently support 38 local firms who prefer this flexibility over traditional debt-heavy leasing.
Fleet management that takes 12 minutes a month
Admin is the silent killer of small IT shops. Instead of chasing 15 different insurance documents and 6 different maintenance schedules, you get one PDF invoice on the 3rd of every month. It covers everything: the car, the tax, the maintenance, and the breakdown cover. We handle the paperwork for the 47 active vehicles currently in our corporate fleet. Your accounts team will appreciate the clear VAT breakdown, making the quarterly return much faster. Honestly, most of our clients tell us they save about 4 hours of admin time every single month just by switching to our single-invoice system.
A car mix that actually fits the Reading commute
Getting into the town centre during rush hour is a chore. We offer a specific mix of 11 different hybrid and electric models that help your team navigate the A33 or the M4 with less stress. For the developers living in Caversham or Tilehurst, an EV makes sense for the daily run. For those commuting from further out, we have reliable hybrids. You can start your fleet with as few as 2 cars. If your team grows to 6 or more, Sarah—our fleet lead since 2019—becomes your direct point of contact. She handles all the handovers at your office or at the Reading station car park.
- No personal credit checks for your employees.
- Swap vehicles for the weekend if a staff member needs more space.
- Zero early termination fees if a project ends early.
- Tyre replacements and scheduled servicing included as standard.
Green goals without the 48-month commitment
Many firms in Green Park or Thames Valley Park have environmental targets to hit by 2026. Switching your team to EVs is the fastest way to do it, but the technology changes too fast to be stuck in a long contract. With Off Hours Coding, you can test different electric models for 3-4 months to see what actually works for your staff. If a specific model doesn't fit a staff member's home charging setup, we just swap it for a hybrid the following month. It is a practical way to go green without getting stuck with outdated battery tech. By the way, we usually have 3 new EV models arriving in our stock every quarter.
Simple onboarding for teams of 3 to 12
We don't do complex portals or 40-page contracts. Once we verify your company details and insurance preference, we can usually have the first 2 cars delivered to your office in 6 business days. Our team of 5 people manages the whole process from our office near the station. We've found that for a typical 10-person dev agency, switching from private mileage claims to our subscription model saves about £340 per month in total costs. It's not a fortune, but it's money that stays in your business instead of going to a leasing giant.
Heads-up: Our corporate slots for the current quarter are limited. We only onboard 2 new firms per month to make sure Sarah can give each fleet her full attention.
