Choosing the right lease term and mileage
The term and mileage you choose will have an impact on your monthly payments.
It’s easy to overestimate how much mileage you need on a day-to-day basis, but you may need less than you think – our drivers average just 167 miles per week.
Track your mileage over a few weeks to get an accurate sense of how much you need. Then, choose a lease that accommodates that figure. It’s fine to add a little headroom – but if you overestimate too much, you’ll be paying unnecessarily for mileage you won’t use.
If your contracted mileage is too low, any excess mileage calculated at the end of your lease will be charged at the excess mileage rate outlined in your Hire Agreement.
What contracts will I receive?
We’ll send you two documents to review and sign:
Driver Handbook - this is signed by just you, and outlines the terms and conditions of your lease and your responsibilities for looking after the car.
Driver Agreement - this is signed by both you and your employer, and is the contract detailing the terms of your agreement.
What happens when my employer/HR rep countersigns my documents?
We require your employer/HR rep to countersign your Driver Agreement. This ensures that they’re happy with the information provided and allows us to place your order.
If there are any challenges with signing the document, we’ll work with both you and your employer to figure out next steps.
Can I change my contract during my lease?
If your circumstances change while your lease is active, there may be options to amend your contract. For full details, please see our Contract Amendments page in MyAccount.
What happens if my circumstances change during my contract?
If something changes, please let us know as soon as possible. In some instances you may be eligible to leave your contract early - we often refer to this as an Early Termination of contract. Some salary sacrifice contracts even include an Early Termination Waiver, which may allow you to return your vehicle early without a fee under certain circumstances.
You’ll need to have had your car for at least six months, unless otherwise agreed.
The waiver is for unforeseen life events, not personal preference, vehicle upgrades, or change of mind.
Examples of circumstances where early termination fees may not apply (at your employer’s discretion):
Resignation
Redundancy, including voluntary redundancy
Dismissal
Extended parental leave
Unpaid long-term sickness leave
Death in service
Loss of driving licence on medical grounds for six months or more
What happens if my circumstances change before my car is delivered?
We understand that things can change. If you’re yet to have your car delivered and your circumstances change, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.
We may be able to cancel your order, but there may be cancellation fees. This is dependent on how close your delivery date is and also on the dealership supplying your car. Different dealerships have different policies.
