Salary packaging your car needn't be complicated
We get it: anything to do with tax and wages can be a worry, but we’ve got you covered.
Available on new, used and existing cars, novated leasing is a three-way salary packaging agreement between you, your employer and a finance company that allows you to bundle not only your lease payments but all your car’s running costs – including petrol, insurance, rego and servicing – into one convenient regular payment.
A novated lease could benefit almost anyone who needs a car. You don't have to be a big earner or drive lots of kilometres to benefit. Whether you source a new or used car through our vast buyer network, or opt to package your current car through a Lifestyle Lease, you could benefit from the convenience, potential tax savings and peace of mind of that your account is managed by one of Australia’s leading novated leasing providers.

With fuel, servicing and general running costs [budgeted for] I knew we have five years of covered driving ahead of us.
I like having all the [running costs] bundled and the tax minimisation available.
That’s what really appealed to me: working to pay for my car and still getting my other money in my hand – and I don’t have to worry about bills and servicing.
The convenience is the best part. When it comes to a service, for example, you don’t have to go “Where am I going to get that money?"
