Save money on buying and running your next car with a Fleetcare Novated Lease

We do the work, you drive the car

If you’re a Western Australian Local Government Association employee and looking for an easy way to save money on buying and running your next car, then a Fleetcare Novated Lease is perfect!

A novated lease is a three-way agreement between you, WALGA and Fleetcare. It is an all-inclusive salary packaging option that lets you pay for your choice of vehicle and it’s running costs from your pre-tax salary. You can reduce income tax and gain access to GST savings, not only on the vehicle purchase price, but also on fuel, servicing, tyres, and much more!

With the flexibility to choose any car you like, you’ll enjoy great fleet discounts, along with the convenience of a single payment for all your vehicle expenses which smooths your budget and keeps more money in your pocket.

No matter how much you earn, how far you drive or where you live, Fleetcare can design a novated lease to suit your life and save you thousands.

Six key benefits

Access exclusive vehicle offers combined with fleet discounts on the purchase price of your new car
Access income tax savings by paying for your vehicle and running costs from your pre-tax salary
Smooth your budget with regular fixed payments for your vehicle and running costs
Enjoy peace of mind 24/7 driver support, always on hand to offer advice in any way they can

With vehicle running costs included, never worry about unexpected out-of-pocket services and repairs

Win-win setup

I love having a car lease. For someone who doesn't really know about cars it means I pay every fortnight and can access whatever I need for the car, for me this is a win, win setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I’m eligible for a novated lease?

As a WALGA employee, you’re automatically eligible for novated leasing.

Is Fleetcare a preferred supplier of novated leases?

As an employee of the Western Australian Local Government Association, you have a choice of where you source your novated lease. Regardless of whether your employer already has an arrangement with a salary packer, you can still access all the great benefits of a Fleetcare Novated Lease.

Do I have to buy a new vehicle to enter into a novated lease agreement?

No. You can novate a used car however, there maybe restrictions depending on the age of the vehicle (for example, if the vehicle will be older than 7 years at the end of the lease) but all used vehicles are assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Can I choose my own car?

Fleetcare will source the car of your choice at the best possible price, with fleet discounts on the purchase price and any accessories you’d like. Already sourced your new ride or prefer a used vehicle? No problems! We’ll make sure all the paperwork is done and the vehicle delivered on time and at a great price.

Can I novate a car that I currently own?

If you own your car, you can sell it to Fleetcare and then lease it back under a novated lease agreement. You get to keep your existing car and still receive all the great benefits and savings of a novated lease! Learn more about our Sale and Leaseback service.

I have a trade-in vehicle. Can it come off the purchase price?

With Fleetcare, you can trade-in a vehicle as part of the process for your Novated Lease, however in accordance with the Australian Tax Office (ATO), trade-in funds cannot be used to reduce the lease principle.

Rather, you’ll be given money for your trade-in separate to your lease. You won’t be tying up any cash in a depreciating asset and you can use those funds towards other things. Find out more about selling your car with Fleetcare.

My employer already uses a salary packager. Can I still novate a car through Fleetcare?

Yes, of course! If your employer already has an arrangement with a salary packager, you can still access all the great benefits of a Fleetcare Novated Lease.

I have a novated lease with another provider. Can I transfer my lease to Fleetcare?

Yes, of course you can! This process is also known as a re-novation. It’s important to us that we make the transition for you as smooth and hassle-free as possible. Speak with our friendly team about the process on 134 333 or learn more about a lease transfer.

  1. Trade in, trade up - Trade in your novated lease to Fleetcare (or sell it privately) and upgrade your car with a new lease.
  2. Refinance - Refinance your novated lease residual amount for another lease term.
