Summit Fleet is an authentic made-in-Alberta Fleet Management Company. The leadership team has spent the majority of their fleet management careers in Alberta. With offices in Calgary, Edmonton and Fort McMurray, we understand the unique operating conditions and challenges that face western Canadian-based fleets.

United States Capabilities

Summit Fleet now has the ability to assist our Canadian clients with all their vehicle and fleet management requirements in the United States through our wholly-owned subsidiary Summit Acceptance Corp. USA. All requirements can be managed from right here in Canada with no complicated hand-off to a US counterpart or an affiliate company.

"People First Company"

Summit Fleet is driven to be easy to do business with, and is able to provide solutions and deliver a level of service based on the unique and diverse operating requirements managing a fleet of vehicles in Western Canada demands. We are a people first company, which when coupled with the latest Fleet Management technology, delivers best-in-class service.

We are part of the Summit Acceptance group, sister company to Kaizen Automotive group, a family owned company with over $400 million in annual revenues, $300 million in assets and over 450 employees. Kaizen Automotive has a strong history in Alberta with over 30 years in the leasing and rentals business and light duty sales and fleet experience dating back to the 1950’s. The ability to leverage this western based infrastructure and the light duty fleet expertise provided in the group is extremely valuable for Summit Fleet and our clients.

We are proud of our western heritage and recognize the value it offers in delivering intuitive solutions for our clients. We do what we say we are going to do, and we deliver solutions – not excuses.

Why Summit? Developed in Japan after the Second World War, the business philosophy of Kaizen refers to activities that focus on continuous improvement in the workplace. The word kaizen was formed from two words: Kai, meaning “change” and Zen, loosely defined as “better” or “good.”

Summit Fleet Management is about Change for Good. We take change seriously. We understand the cost of making a change. At the same time we are not trying to be everything to everyone, everywhere. If your fleet requirements cannot be met by our team and our suite of programs and services we have the courage to say so.

We take change seriously

We’ve been in the fleet services industry for years, and we saw an opportunity in Western Canada to make a change. Building on a strong foundation of support, experience and knowledge we are constantly learning and constantly improving.

You need a fleet management company that knows your industry, puts people first, leverages the best technology, and is easy to do business with. That is our mission.

Change for good, the results will confirm the move

Summit Fleet is expanding to better serve our growing client base and meet the dynamic demands of the western Canadian fleet services market. Summit Fleet is a consolidation of all Kaizen leasing and renting assets.

Summit Fleet (previously Kaizen Fleet Management) represents no change in the team or day to day operations. Established under the same shareholder structure as the privately held Kaizen Automotive Group, the consolidation creates a stronger financial position and enhanced administrative efficiencies. We have experienced strong growth to date, and these organizational adjustments have positioned us for the further growth forecasted for years to come.

Edmonton branch opens

January 1st 2014 also marks the beginning of Summit Fleet Management’s Edmonton office. We are proud to announce the addition of 3 experienced Fleet Management professionals to launch our new branch. Edmonton and Northern Alberta are important parts of our Western Canadian solution, and having a full service location in Edmonton was always part of our vision.

USA operations begin

January 1st, 2014 also marks the launch of Summit Acceptance Corp. USA. Summit Fleet now has the ability to assist our Canadian clients with their vehicle and fleet management requirements in the United States. Acquisitions, licensing, leasing and card services are all managed from right here in Canada. There is no “messy” hand-off to a US counterpart or affiliate. This unique offering was part of our original vision and has been built around client feedback and requirements.

Introducing this set of fleet management services is a demonstration of our commitment to servicing the growing needs of the western Canadian market. For more details please contact either our Edmonton or Calgary office.

Canada's top 50 best managed companies

Summit Fleet continues to be part of the Group that has been recognized as one of Canada’s Top 50 Best Managed Companies, Kaizen Automotive Group, largely due to its management style of empowering people at all levels of the organization to make decisions and be accountable for those decisions. Summit Acceptance’s leadership team models family-based values and is committed to integrity in business, as well as supporting local communities.

With roots going back to 1950s, we’ve been in the truck and fleet business for 6 decades! Summit Fleet was established to focus that experience and expertise on the Western Canadian Fleet Marketplace.
