Our Driver’s Choice novated lease package has been developed to also answer the specific employee needs of Australian Government Agencies who are returning to Australia after prolonged overseas postings.

For the departments

• A huge contribution to staff morale
• Minimises staff time spent on personal arrangements
• Greater flexibility in staff remuneration
• Saves departmental administration

For the staff

• The convenience of coming home straight into a vehicle and lease plan of their choice which was easily organised while they were still overseas.
• A highly valued service that builds goodwill
• Greater choice in the sort of vehicle they want.

The choice and value of this package can also be offered to departmental staff that live in Australia.

How it works

Driver’sChoice is as much about service as it is about value.
It is a total personalised service designed to allow these staff to make the right leasing choice with a minimum of personal time and involvement. A novated lease allows employees to deduct all running costs of their vehicle including FBT from their gross salary and have the responsibility of making the payments transferred to the Government Agencies. This is both cost and tax effective for them. This package is a total personalised service designed to allow staff to make the right leasing choice with a minimum of personal time and involvement.

Did you know?

• We handle all the administration including running costs. We provide advice on vehicles, finance, tax implications, legals and delivery.
• If an employee is retrenched the responsibility of the payments is left with them and the department is not left with the task of disposing of the vehicle.
• A novated lease can reduce fuel cost down to 70c per litre as a result of no GST and pre tax charging (dependant upon retail price).
• FBT is not a bad word if the percentage paid is less than your marginal tax rate.
• A novated lease potentially allows them to lease a new or second hand vehicle.
• At the end of the lease they have the option of purchasing the vehicle for its residual value or refinancing it for an additional time to progressively claim ownership.

We give your staff:

• Personalised advisors. No call centre.
• A thorough explanation of all the options and their implications.
• A clear understanding of all their rights and responsibilities.
• Independent advice. We receive NO COMMISSIONS FROM DEALERS.
• A complete one stop service from recommendation of car type to delivery and legal documents.
• If vehicle is sold at a profit, the profit is tax free.

What sets us apart?

We are not just leasing specialists; we are personal service specialists. Our business began in the service intensive Diplomatic and Consular area and our dedication to delivering personal service is what distinguishes us from a normal finance or salary packaging company. As vehicle leasing specialists we will give you the lease choice that is right for you - not someone else and steer you away from traps that others may miss. For the Government Agencies we can save a large amount of administration and deliver a service that builds great employee good will.
