AMT Auto: rental, leasing and used car sales from Leeds

AMT Auto is a vehicle group based in Leeds that presents itself as a single point of access for renting, leasing, buying, selling, subscribing to or insuring a vehicle. Its offer is aimed at both private individuals and businesses, including companies that need fleet solutions or a partner to supply vehicles to their own customers. The group describes its model as "a vehicle solution for everybody".

From a one-man leasing broker to a 150-staff group

The company states that it was founded in 1995 by Neil McGawley, who started out as a one-man leasing finance broker after identifying an opportunity in the car leasing market. According to its own account, Neil McGawley still heads the group of companies, which it says turns over £180m and employs more than 150 staff across the UK. Over that period the business reports having diversified beyond leasing into a used car division, a national rental business, a leasing and finance business and a car buying service.

The group describes its current footprint as four rental locations, one showroom and a 52,000 square foot head office set on two acres. It also states that it has received multiple awards for customer service, without specifying in the material available which bodies granted them.

Rental: short and long term, including corporate supply

AMT Auto offers short-term and long-term vehicle rental to businesses and individuals across what it describes as a wide range of vehicles, with durations running from one day to three months or more. Its corporate rental activity includes third-party supply services to car dealerships, insurance companies and accident management companies.

Leasing and subscription

Car leasing is presented as a way to drive a brand-new vehicle through fixed monthly payments, with manufacturer warranties, road tax and free delivery included. The company says it supplies all makes and models of new car lease vehicles from a national network of franchised main dealers and vehicle manufacturers. The subscription service is described in the same terms as the rental offer: short- and long-term vehicle access for businesses and individuals, from one day to three months plus, with the same corporate third-party supply component.

Buying and selling through Redline Specialist Cars

The group's used car operation is Redline Specialist Cars, which AMT Auto describes as part of the AMT Auto Group and, in its own words, one of the UK's leading and most respected premium used car retailers. Through Redline, customers can visit a showroom or buy online, and the group also channels its car buying service there, presenting it as a route to obtain a price for a vehicle being sold.

Insurance and business fleet consultancy

On the insurance side, AMT Auto says it offers automotive, personal and commercial cover, with the aim of matching cover to price. For companies, the group adds consultancy on fleet management and positions itself as a partner for supplying vehicles to customers. Its stated priorities include expanding the range of zero-emission vehicles available and handling the customer journey from start to finish.

Editorial content and competitions

The company publishes news and guides on subjects such as new car launches, tax changes and electric vehicle range; among the items listed at the time of writing were a piece dated 13 October 2026 on pay-per-mile EV tax and business cars, and articles on plug-in hybrids and EVs with the longest range. It also runs prize competitions with partners, which the site indicated had no open entries when this profile was drafted.
