In 2017, the company announced it was exploring strategic alternatives for the business, that included a potential initial public offering (IPO). On 21 March 2016, an international consortium led by the Dutch Stichting Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn pension fund completed its acquisition of the company. In 2012 LeasePlan acquired the Italian car leasing activities of BBVA. In 2009 German Metzler Bank took over the shares of the latter two companies. In 2004, ABN-Amro sold LeasePlan Corporation to a consortium consisting of the Volkswagen Group (50%), Olayan Group (25%), and Mubadala Development Company (25%). In 2003, the holding company of the LeasePlan Group was renamed LeasePlan Corporation. Since 1993 the company holds a banking license. Responding to the trend in market consolidation, LeasePlan acquired several companies in the years following 2000 (Dial in Great Britain, in France, and in Italy, and CSC in the United States).

LeasePlan diversified its offer by introducing an online fleet management software package (Plan8, now called FleetReporting). In 1985, the banking group ABN-Amro acquired 100% of the shares in LeasePlan and founded a holding company named ABN-Amro Lease Holding.
LeasePlan expanded internationally in the 1970s by establishing operations in Belgium, Germany, France, and Great Britain. Founded in the Netherlands in 1963 following a joint venture between a bank and a company providing services to drivers, LeasePlan initially specialised in the open-book management model (an actual costs management system).
