THE internet could end the fleet nightmare of costly, early termination lease vehicles by finding new operators to take on the balance of the hire period. The Association of Car Fleet Operators' southern region branch was due to meet on Wednesday to discuss the pros and cons of establishing a web-based service to advertise vehicles which become available as a result of staff changes.

Fleets could save thousands of pounds by passing on early termination cars to suitably qualified companies rather than parking them up and continuing to pay the hire.
