The Process
How Your Novated Lease Works
A step-by-step guide to how a novated lease works, from choosing your dream car to all the way to the end of your lease.
Vehicle & Financial Consultation
We'll make sure your chosen car is within budget, you can comfortably afford the repayments, and your employer is happy to partner with us on your novated lease. Most finance approvals happen within 24 hours, subject to credit assessment. We coordinate between all parties on your behalf.
Car Shopping
This is the fun part. Whether you know the specifics or just have a general type of car in mind, we'll help source it from our national dealer network and secure the best deal on your behalf. While you’re at it, explore additional protection like MotorOne protection packages, MDR, insurance and more, which you can bundle into your lease.
Sign, Celebrate & Drive
It's time to sign the paperwork and pick up your car. We’ll send you a fuel card, and you’ll be able to access your lease portal. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about your lease and any questions you might have.
End of Lease Options
When your lease ends, you choose what happens next. Sell it through TradeLab for competitive valuations (keeping any profit tax-free!) then upgrade into a new vehicle with a fresh novated lease. You can also pay off the balloon payment to own it outright or explore refinancing.*
*Payments vary depending on your chosen term.
