The invention provides priority-based allocation methods for use in allocating a vehicle from a fleet of vehicles. The methods provide that a vehicle that is low on fuel, battery charge, or mileage will be given a higher priority for allocation than a vehicle with relatively higher vehicle parameters. Methods include using the vehicle parameter values to directly allocate the vehicles, or indirectly allocate the vehicles using the values to group the vehicles before allocation. Additional indirect methods are provided whereby the vehicle parameter values are used to derive a corresponding numerical value to be used in an algorithm-based allocation method or converted into a percentage for a tier-based allocation method.
