A large Chicago company,\u00a0Petrolagar, was losing salespeople after helping them fund the down payment on a personal vehicle that they would use on the job. Zollie designed a closed-end leasing solution to help the client improve salesperson retention while incurring a predictable monthly cost. With the acquisition and lease of 75 vehicles, the Wheels business was born. From those humble beginnings, Wheels grew into an industry leader.<\/p>\n

In 1963, LeasePlan is founded in Amsterdam by Anton\u00a0Goudsmit, Huib van der Meulen and Frits Kuiper to lease equipment – a business\u00a0virtually unknown\u00a0in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

In 1965, Don\u00a0Rappeport\u00a0and Len Vine found a new fleet management\u00a0company\u00a0and they name it\u00a0Donlen.<\/p>\n

In December 2022, with the announcement of the Wheels\u00a0Donlen\u00a0and LeasePlan USA merger within\u00a0Athene Holding Ltd<\/a>, a new entity\u00a0has emerged\u00a0\u2013 a customer-centric provider of comprehensive fleet management solutions<\/a>. Today, Wheels manages over 800,000 vehicles in North America, and over 4 million vehicles in 59 countries worldwide in\u00a0global\u00a0alliance with Ayvens.<\/p>\n

Wheels\u2019 history is marked with a series of industry firsts with product innovations and business growth driven by the evolving needs of\u00a0our clients<\/a>.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjQ1NzcifX0=@” button_text=”Learn More About Wheels” button_alignment=”center” button_alignment_tablet=”center” button_alignment_phone=”left” button_alignment_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _dynamic_attributes=”button_url” _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”15px” button_text_color=”#001544″ button_bg_color=”#FFC400″ button_border_width=”1px” button_border_color=”#001544″ button_border_radius=”50px” button_font=”–et_global_body_font|600|||||||” button_use_icon=”off” custom_padding=”8px|25px|8px|25px|true|true” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_bg_color__hover=”#001544″ button_bg_enable_color__hover=”on” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_border_color__hover=”#001544″ button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_text_color__hover=”#FFFFFF”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”off|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” max_width=”2560px” custom_margin=”66px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”40px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”30px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”40px||||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dipi_timeline timeline_line_color=”rgba(163,167,189,0.4)” timeline_active_line_color=”#001544″ card_arrow_color=”rgba(209,228,249,0.4)” line_area_size_tablet=”50px” line_area_size_phone=”25px” line_area_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” max_width_tablet=”” max_width_phone=”100%” max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][dipi_timeline_item admin_label=”1939″ title=”1939″ timeline_icon=”"||divi||400″ timeline_icon_color=”#a3a7bd” ribbon_circle_color=”#FFFFFF” ribbon_use_circle_border=”on” ribbon_circle_border_color=”#a3a7bd” timeline_icon_padding=”8px|8px|8px|8px|true|true” ribbon_text_bgcolor=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” image_max_width=”25%” custom_card_arrow=”on” card_arrow_color=”rgba(209,228,249,0.4)” card_padding=”48px|30px|48px|30px|true|false” child_animation=”fadeInRightShort” image_max_width_tablet=”25%” image_max_width_phone=”40%” image_max_width_last_edited=”on|phone” card_padding_tablet=”” card_padding_phone=”20px|20px|20px|20px|true|true” card_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”–et_global_heading_font|200|||||||” header_text_color=”#2A2A2A” header_font_size=”55px” body_text_color=”#001544″ body_font_size=”14px” body_line_height=”1.7em” ribbon_text_font=”Poppins|||on|||||” ribbon_text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” ribbon_text_font_size=”14px” ribbon_text_letter_spacing=”0px” background_color=”rgba(209,228,249,0.4)” background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” header_font_size_tablet=”22px” header_font_size_phone=”20px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_line_height_tablet=”” header_line_height_phone=”1.5em” header_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” body_font_size_tablet=”14px” body_font_size_phone=”13px” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” ribbon_text_font_size_tablet=”12px” ribbon_text_font_size_phone=”12px” ribbon_text_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_timeline_item_ribbon_text=”padding: 5px 15px 5px 15px;” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” border_radii_ribbon_text=”on|50px|50px|50px|50px” global_colors_info=”{}” ribbon_circle_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” ribbon_circle_color__hover=”#FFC400″ transform_styles__hover_enabled=”off|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”off|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”off|hover” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”off|hover” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”off|hover” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”off|hover” custom_css_timeline_item_ribbon_text_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_css_timeline_item_ribbon_text_tablet=”padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;||margin-bottom: 10px;” custom_css_timeline_item_ribbon_text_phone=”padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;||margin-bottom: 10px;” timeline_icon_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” timeline_icon_color__hover=”#001544″ ribbon_circle_border_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” ribbon_circle_border_color__hover=”#001544″]Entrepreneur, Zollie Frank, pioneers the leasing industry when he founds Wheels \u2013 created to help pharmaceutical company Petrolager (now Pfizer), manage its sales vehicle fleet;
