It can be very confusing when you’re researching car finance, it pays to make sure you are comparing apples with apples. Don’t be fooled by 0% or low finance offers, as they are often based on the customer paying the full recommended retail price for the vehicle.

A top tip is to always compare the overall cost of the lease or finance rather than just the interest rate. At Driveline we have substantial manufacturer and dealer discounts on new vehicles which we  pass on 100% to our clients which means you pay less overall across the term of the agreement.

Here at Driveline,  we think it’s only fair to quote our clients real pricing which is why our price is inclusive of both GST and on-road costs. We’re commited to “open book” leasing where our clients know all the details up front and there are no hidden costs or surprises. That’s just the way we like to do business.
With a Driveline SmartLease™ car lease clients get an honest “no hidden costs” operating lease where everything is totally transparent – including the purchase price of the car and the residual value based on the parameters agreed. There is no large, up-front deposit and payments are treated as a 100% tax-deductible expense for tax purposes. This gives excellent cash flow advantages over traditional hire purchase.

With a SmartLease™ car lease the pitfalls of ‘excess kilometres’ and ‘refurbishment’ charges at the end of the lease can be avoided and it allows clients to enjoy the benefits of ownership without tying up valuable capital.
