Critical Questions to Ask When Choosing a Fleet Graphics Provider

Ask These Questions Before You Sign with Any Provider

Below are just a few of the critical questions you should be asking during the selection process. (The full set of questions is available in the downloadable worksheet.) It’s crucial to have a list of questions to ask when choosing a fleet graphics provider that aligns with your needs.

If your fleet operates across multiple states or coast to coast, your provider should be built to scale with you. Without that capability, you risk inconsistent applications, brand dilution, and costly operational delays.

Confirm Their Service Capabilities, Installation & Project Management

Ask:

• • • Do you provide nationwide installation?
    • Are your installers certified by UASG or PDAA?
    • Are your installers employees or do you sub-contract your installers?
    • Do you offer a tracking tool for real-time project updates?
    • How do you minimize vehicle downtime during installs?

Ensure Transparent Pricing, Materials & Warranty Protection

Ask:

• • • Do you provide detailed, line-item pricing upfront?
    • What vinyl and overlaminate materials do you use?
    • What types of warranties are offered?
    • Can you share examples of long-term performance?

Fleet graphics aren’t just about appearance. The wrong material or poor design choices can result in reprints, downtime, or compliance issues. Knowing the right questions to ask when choosing a fleet graphics provider can save you time and resources.

Explore Their Design, Production & Turnaround Times

Ask:

• • • Do you have in-house graphic designers?
    • What is your typical production timeline for large fleets?
    • Is printing, finishing, and shipping managed in-house?
    • How do you ensure brand consistency across multiple vehicle types?

A true fleet graphics partner won’t just wrap your vehicles—they’ll help protect your brand on the road, across every mile. Aligning your goals with the questions to ask when choosing a fleet graphics provider leads to better results.
