Fleet cost for a chief financial officer

You are not waiting for one more tool. You are waiting for the fleet line of your profit and loss account to be explained, predictable and chargeable back. Dadycar brings contracts, expenses and fuel into a single set of data. Splittable by entity, exportable for your close.

Hosted in the European Union · GDPR · Flotauto 2025 Innovation Award · free up to 50 vehicles, then €6 excl. VAT per vehicle per month

Three markers before deciding

  • A tool cost known in advance: from €0 to €16 excl. VAT per vehicle per month, public pricing, with no hidden variable.
  • Up to -70 % of the time spent producing reports, according to the benefits Dadycar claims.
  • Three modular pillars: fleet management, telematics, car sharing. You fund what you open.

What goes wrong in your month

  • A return invoice arrives with no warning. The mileage overrun was known to the lessor, not to you.
  • Some fuel spending attaches to nobody. A card, an amount, no vehicle and no driver to match it.
  • The fleet budget does not split. There is no way to say, entity by entity, what the fleet really costs.

What you can finally present

Fleet data stops being a spreadsheet held by one person. It becomes a reference base, with targets, a monthly trend and an audit trail for every line of spending.

Average TCO per vehicle

The dashboard tracks the average TCO per vehicle against its target. You read the monthly trend against that target and the breakdown of costs by category.

Cost allocation by entity

The Cost allocation tab splits costs between entities, sites and departments. Cost allocation and ESG reporting leave the spreadsheet behind.

Contracts readable before the return

The vehicle record carries the monthly payment, the months left, the contract mileage, the overrun observed and the mileage run rate. Mileage tracking feeds that check continuously.

Every cost justified

The Expenses tab lists costs per vehicle with invoice, VAT, supplier and type. Fuel cards report their supplier, their limit and their downloadable invoices.

Anomaly engine

Business rules flag potential fraud, data integrity failures and departures from contractual compliance. See anomaly and fraud detection.

Reports and exports for the close

Fuel and Compliance tabs, filters by site and by period, data export. The benefit-in-kind report is native.

How it works

  1. 1Import the fleet and the contracts. Every vehicle carries its entity, its site, its monthly payment and its contract mileage.
  2. 2Open cost allocation and expenses. Costs split by entity and every cost attaches to a vehicle.
  3. 3Set your targets. Average TCO, compliance and variance alerts are tracked from the dashboard, month after month.

Let us look at your budget line

Bring an extract of your expenses and two entities: we show the breakdown and the TCO per vehicle live.

What you will have to defend

  • “Another subscription.” The price runs from €0 to €16 excl. VAT per vehicle per month. Set that against a single mileage overrun spotted in time.
  • “Nobody has time to roll this out.” The fleet is imported, the entities and sites are set up once, then the due dates come up on their own.
  • “Our data is not reliable.” The anomaly engine deals with exactly that: it flags the gaps, the duplicates and the inconsistencies instead of hiding them.

Frequently asked questions

Which annual taxes does a company pay on its passenger vehicles?

Two taxes replace the former company vehicle tax: the annual tax on CO2 emissions and the annual tax on air pollutant emissions. They target companies; sole traders are exempt (service-public.gouv.fr).

How are those vehicle taxes calculated?

The annual amount is the product of the annual proportion of use, that is the number of days used for business purposes over the days of the calendar year, and the rate applying to the vehicle (service-public.gouv.fr).

Must a summary record of the vehicles used be kept?

Yes. An annual summary record is required for each tax due, up to date at the latest when the annual declaration is filed, listing for each vehicle the registration dates, the technical specifications and the periods of use (service-public.gouv.fr).

What share of VAT is deductible on fuel for a passenger vehicle?

For vehicles excluded from the right to deduct, 80 % of the tax on diesel used as fuel is deductible; the same 80 % share has applied to petrol since 1 January 2021 (BOFiP).

How do you charge fleet cost back to several entities?

The Cost allocation tab of the dashboard splits costs between entities, sites and departments. Every vehicle carries where it belongs, which makes it possible to produce a breakdown per entity and export it with no re-entry.

How much does fleet management software cost?

The public Dadycar prices run from €0 to €16 excl. VAT per vehicle per month: free up to fifty vehicles, €6 for full fleet management, €16 with telematics, with no hardware to fit on a connected vehicle. The detail is on the pricing page.
