Implementing a professional mobile valeting programme for your corporate fleet is one of the most effective ways to protect vehicle assets, support employee satisfaction, and meet sustainability commitments — all without capital expenditure or operational disruption.
This guide covers everything you need to consider.
What Is Corporate Mobile Valeting?
Corporate mobile valeting is a scheduled, on-site vehicle care service delivered directly to your business premises. Unlike traditional car washes that require vehicles to leave the site, mobile valeting brings professional technicians, equipment, and products to your car park.
For fleet managers, this means vehicles stay operational. For facilities teams, it means no water infrastructure or drainage modifications. For employees, it means their company car or personal vehicle is cleaned whilst they work.

How to Assess Your Fleet’s Needs
Before engaging a mobile valeting provider, consider:
Fleet size and composition: How many vehicles? What mix of cars, vans, and SUVs? Vehicle class affects pricing and service duration.
Service frequency: High-use pool cars may need weekly valeting. Executive vehicles might need fortnightly service. Company cars used for commuting could be monthly.
Site logistics: Where will valeting take place? Is there adequate car park space? Are there security requirements for technicians (DBS checks, site induction)?
Budget and allocation: Is valeting funded centrally by the fleet department, or offered as an employee benefit with individual bookings?
Reporting requirements: Do you need ESG data for sustainability reports? Condition reporting for lease management? Digital records for audit purposes?
What to Look for in a Provider
Not all mobile valeting services are equal. For corporate fleet work, your provider should offer:
- DBS-checked technicians — essential for sites with security requirements
- Public liability insurance of at least £5 million — non-negotiable for procurement approval
- Waterless technology — eliminates Water Industry Act compliance concerns and supports ESG targets
- Digital reporting — condition data, service records, and environmental metrics
- Scalability — ability to serve multiple sites and adapt to changing fleet sizes
- Employee booking portal — reduces administrative burden on facilities and fleet teams
The Financial Argument
Present the business case to procurement using these metrics:
- Productivity saved: Eliminating car wash trips saves 30–60 minutes per vehicle per service
- Lease return savings: Professional valeting reduces end-of-contract damage charges
- Water savings: Approximately 150 litres saved per vehicle per service (documentable for ESG)
- Depreciation reduction: Regular ceramic protection preserves paintwork and interior condition
- Admin cost reduction: Self-service booking replaces email chains and voucher management
Implementation Timeline
A typical corporate mobile valeting programme takes two to four weeks to implement:
Week 1: Fleet audit and site assessment Week 2: Service agreement, schedule design, and employee portal setup Week 3: Pilot service on a subset of vehicles Week 4: Full fleet rollout with regular scheduled service
