Who Is Eligible

Rural and municipal water and wastewater systems of any size who are members of their State Rural Water Association.

State Rural Water Associations

Vehicles and VIP Discounts

These discounts are applied to the dealer invoice price for each vehicle.

The VIP Fleet Discounts are up to 6 times higher than the normal Fleet discount.  The discount is off of the Manufacturers Invoice Price and ranges from $1,000 to $6,000 depending on the model of vehicle. 

While you may contact your local dealer for details, we suggest you contact Fleet Central at www.NRWAfleet.com  or 1-800-375-4471.  A vehicle ordered through fleet central is shipped through your local dealer at no additional cost.  They will provide you with the manufacturers invoice price as well as the fleet discount amount and price.

In most cases the VIP Fleet program pricing is comparable with state contract bid.  In addition the lifetime power train warranty is included in the VIP program and is not under state bid programs.

Make sure you receive the Rural Water VIP Fleet program quote instead of the normal fleet quote.
 

How to Purchase Hassle Free

There are two ways to order on this unique program for rural and small utilities. 

1.  (Recommended):  Order from Rural Water Fleet Central www.NRWAfleet.com   and have the vehicle delivered through your local dealer.  There is no additional cost for this service.  This purchase point allows you to build the vehicle you desire and utilize your local dealer for delivery.  You may also order by calling 1-800-375-4471.  (ask for Fleet Department) 

2.  Order through your local dealer.  Many local dealers are not fleet dealerships and are unfamiliar with VIP Fleet Pricing.  Be sure to insist on the VIP Fleet Discount which is much larger than the normal fleet pricing. 

Needed Documentation:  VIP Fleet number:  53908

  • Dealer stock is also eligible for the VIP Fleet Discount, however, we recommend ordering your new vehicle with the accessories you need and want.
