A fleet is not ten separate wash bookings — it is one system. JustCars runs scheduled hand-wash and detailing programmes for company cars, villa-rental fleets and rent-a-car turnarounds across the Algarve: cars collected, washed under studio light at the published per-car rates, and returned on a calendar you set once. One WhatsApp thread carries the whole fleet, one invoice closes the month, and two studios — Almancil and Loulé — share the load in season.
Villa-rental changeovers, guest arrivals, company cars that have to look right on a client's driveway — fleet work is calendar work. We agree the schedule once: which cars, which days, which wash tier each car gets. From there the routine runs without chasing — cars collected inside the free 15 km radius, washed with the same late-contact method every JustCars car gets, and returned dry, insured from pickup to handover.
The per-car anchors are the same honest tiers we publish for everyone: €75 for the one-hour express, €150 for the three-hour detailed wash, €300 for the eight-hour deep clean when a car comes back from a hard rental season. No fleet gets a rushed version of the wash — the calendar absorbs the volume, not the method.
“I walk a fleet's car park before I talk numbers — how the cars stand, where the sun hits them, what the drivers do to them. Ten cars washed properly on a calendar beat twenty washed in a hurry, and I only promise the first.”
Terms agreed per fleet after a walk-through — cars, parking, turnaround windows and season on the table first.
Final scope and price are confirmed at inspection — these are honest public anchors, not teaser rates.
Fleet cars work harder than private ones: more drivers, more sun, more kilometres between washes. Protection is what keeps that survivable — ceramic coatings that carry the salt and sun between visits, PPF on the noses of cars that live on the EN125 and the motorway, interior deep-cleans and ozone between guests. The coating carries the load; the wash routine carries the coating.
We are STEK-certified installers with 17+ years behind the studio and 8,000+ cars prepared, so the protection conversation is the same one we have about any single car — what genuinely pays back for how each car is used, and what doesn't. For a fleet that honesty compounds: protection goes where the walk-through says it earns its keep, not across the board by default.
Fleet terms are agreed per fleet after a walk-through — we look at the cars, the parking, the turnaround windows and the season before putting numbers on paper. That is deliberately not a published discount table: a two-car company fleet and a twenty-car rental operation are different jobs, and pretending otherwise produces either an unfair price or a broken promise.
Day to day, everything lives in one WhatsApp thread — schedules, handover photos, the occasional 'this one needs more than a wash' flag — and the month closes with one invoice. The team works in English, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian and Spanish, which matters when drivers and managers don't share a language.
Per fleet, after a walk-through. The per-car wash tiers — €75, €150, €300 — are the honest anchors; the fleet terms depend on how many cars, how often, where they park and what the turnaround windows look like. We put numbers on paper after seeing that, not before.
Yes — collection is free within 15 km of the studios, which covers Almancil, Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura, Quarteira and Loulé. Cars are insured with us from pickup to return, with photos at both ends.
That's exactly what the calendar is for — we agree the changeover days and the wash tier per car in advance, and the routine runs without anyone chasing. When a car comes back needing more than its scheduled wash, we flag it in the thread and you decide.
Car + what you need on WhatsApp — real options with real numbers.
