Like the average customer walking onto lots right now, the city of Derby is having a tough time buying cars at the moment. A little over a year after entering into a fleet leasing agreement with Enterprise, challenges remain, which has led to city to reassess its approach and shift gears to a hybrid model. The city will still continue to lease hard-to-find vehicles through Enterprise (police units, one-ton trucks, etc.) but will also look to purchase some through its own authority as needs – and availability – arise. Staff noted changing the approach has little to do with the efforts of Enterprise and more to do with national supply and demand issues the city and so many others continue to face.
