Finance Lease

A non-maintained lease option.
Enquire online
A Finance Lease is a rental agreement where the financier legally owns the vehicle and you lease it for an agreed term. The finance company purchases your vehicle and you rent it from them for an agreed monthly repayment. At the end of the term you make a final payment and the car is yours, or you can dispose of it.
A Finance Lease allows businesses to take a residual position on the vehicle for the end of the term, providing it is within the Australian Taxation Office guidelines. This allows you to set repayments to cash flow requirements and potentially reap the benefit from the vehicle selling at a higher price than the residual.

Why choose a Finance Lease?

No deposit finance
Funding is provided for 100% of the vehicle purchase price, and includes any additional accessories and fit out costs.
Control your costs
Fixed rental payments protect you from interest rate fluctuations over the term of the contract, allowing for easier cash management and budgeting.
Access fleet discounts
Leverage Fleetcare’s buying power and supplier network to access fleet discounts on vehicles, accessories and fit out. Fit out requirements will be arranged prior to the delivery of the vehicle with the costs then bundled into the finance lease repayments.
Residual liability
Under a Finance Lease, you retain the risk on the residual value. This means if you dispose of the vehicle for more than the residual value, any surplus funds are yours to keep.
