Once you've chosen your vehicle, we'll help you secure it, often at competitive wholesale or fleet prices.

A Mercedes novated lease is different from a car loan in several key ways. With a car loan, your repayments are made from your post-tax salary, meaning you pay for the loan after taxes have been deducted from your earnings. In contrast, a novated lease for a Mercedes comes out of your pre-tax salary, allowing you to make lease payments before taxes are applied.

This arrangement reduces your taxable income, leading to significant tax savings. Typically, these tax savings surpass the interest costs associated with the lease, making a Mercedes-novated lease a more financially advantageous option compared to a traditional car loan.

A Mercedes novated lease package can cover the vehicle itself plus a wide range of running costs. This includes fuel, servicing, tyres, insurance, roadside assistance, charging and registration. The more expenses you bundle into your Mercedes novated lease, the greater your tax savings will be. 

However, we understand that some people prefer to manage certain aspects, such as insurance or servicing, separately. Our flexible plans accommodate various preferences, offering options that range from just the car to comprehensive packages that cover all running costs.

It's worth noting that certain items, like road tolls, parking fees, fines and accessories added post-delivery, can’t be included as they are not considered legitimate operating costs by the ATO. For detailed comparisons and to choose the best plan for you, explore our Mercedes novated lease options on our plans page.

High-income earners can use a novated lease to pay for their Mercedes with pre-tax dollars, reducing taxable income and maximising take-home pay. It's a smart way to drive a premium vehicle while unlocking real tax savings. For many executives and professionals, salary sacrificing becomes a more financially efficient option than buying outright or using standard finance.

Absolutely. Once your lease ends, you can upgrade to a newer model, refinance or take ownership of the car. Many drivers choose to refresh their Mercedes every few years, keeping up with the latest design, technology and safety features. Leasing keeps your options open without long-term ownership commitments.

Mercedes-Benz holds its value well, particularly in the C-Class, GLC and AMG models. Compared to other luxury brands, Mercedes combines strong demand with a reputation for reliability and prestige. This makes it a smart long-term choice for both personal use and salary packaging through a novated lease.

The C-Class leads as one of Australia's favourite premium sedans, recently outselling the BMW 3 Series. The GLC SUV is another standout, blending luxury with everyday practicality. Both models consistently rank high with families and professionals, thanks to refined styling, safety and comfort.

EQB and EQC models from Mercedes deliver a luxurious cabin, smooth drive quality and sophisticated safety technology, setting them apart from Tesla’s offerings. While Tesla often leads in raw tech and range, Mercedes appeals to those who value comfort, heritage and a more traditional luxury experience, especially for long-term ownership.

The standard petrol C-Class delivers around 6.9 L/100 km, offering solid efficiency for a luxury sedan. However, hybrid models like the C300e plug-in hybrid significantly reduce fuel use, especially for city driving. If you want performance with lower running costs, Mercedes hybrids provide an elegant, eco-conscious solution.
