A good deal comes down to the total cost over the life of the lease — not just the weekly payment. Compare the vehicle price, running costs, finance rate and tax savings together. A quick way to check your value is to run the numbers through our novated lease calculator, then compare it to any competing quotes for transparency.

Don’t just look at the interest rate in isolation — compare the entire fleet offer. Some providers negotiate better purchase prices, bundle sharper running cost estimates or offer lower admin fees, which can outweigh a slightly higher finance rate. Line up quotes side-by-side so you can compare the genuine total cost of ownership, not just a number.

Yes! Used cars avoid new-car premiums and typically have lower purchase prices, which means smaller lease payments and reduced depreciation. You still get GST savings on eligible costs and the same tax benefits as a new-car lease. For many drivers, a well-priced used vehicle delivers the strongest value overall.

Because you package everything — servicing, tyres, rego, insurance and fuel/charging — into one pre-tax payment. This maximises GST savings, reduces your taxable income and avoids bill shock throughout the year. For most people, a fully maintained lease produces significantly better lifetime savings than managing expenses themselves.

Eligible EVs under the LCT threshold attract a full FBT exemption, which removes one of the biggest costs in a novated lease. Combine that with lower running costs, no fuel and GST savings on bundled expenses, and EV drivers often save thousands more over the full lease compared to petrol equivalents — especially when packaged through a fully-maintained structure. There’s really a lot to love when it comes to novated leasing.
