Belo Horizonte City Council's 18-Month Extension of Their Vehicle Rental Contract
Hey there! Guess what? The Belo Horizonte City Council just extended their vehicle rental contract for the Legislative Branch for 18 more months, with fleet renewal on the cards too. This means the monthly cost of renting a car without a driver for the Council will jump from R$ 3,320.59 to a whopping R$ 4,781.65 - that's a 44% spike! Council President Juliano Lopes (Podemos) added an addendum detailing this update in the Municipal Daily on Saturday, June 7.
The total cost of this extended contract? Around R$ 7,701,516.76, which is a considerable 28% more than the original R$ 5.98 million bid signed in 2021. The lucky winner in this bidding war was Estrela Locations, offering 72 vehicles without drivers, including fuel, auto insurance, and extra services.
Why the sudden price hike? Well, the City Council ain't shedding light on that just yet. They merely attribute it to "administrative needs and economic-financial rebalancing of the contract." One thing's for sure, though; the current fleet is getting an upgrade, with new sedans powered by a 1.0-liter turbo engine on the horizon. The previous models were out of reach due to Belo Horizonte's Vehicle Automotive Air Pollution Control Program - Rota 2030's phase L7 and L8 requirements.
