Keep Your Car Moving - for Less
Simon explains how RemServ can help with finding the right price for service and maintenance.
QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, February 22, 2012 /Transportation and Trucking PR News/ -- The cost to keep your car on the road can often add up. There's maintenance - including servicing, repairs and tyres - and running costs, like fuel. According to a major Australian insurer*, it costs approximately $7,409 each year to keep a Mazda 2 Neo. And the cost increases with the size of the car. A Holden Cruze CD costs approximately $8,674 each year, while a Honda Accord Euro will set you back around $11,500.
But there is another way. If your employer offers you the ability to salary package a leased car, you could save money, by paying for your vehicle lease repayments and running costs with a combination of your pre and post-tax dollars.
What's more, some novated leasing companies can help you budget for your lease repayments, registration and insurance, service and maintenance costs, such as new tyres and detailing.
According to RemServ's National Sales Manager, Simon Haidar, setting up a fully maintained lease is easy.
"RemServ can source your vehicle and arrange your finance and insurance, either directly or through your chosen provider. All you have to do is choose the car," Simon said.
Save on your day-to-day expenses
If you take out a fully maintained lease, once you're behind the wheel of your new car, you don't need to find cash to get your car serviced or purchase new tyres. It's budgeted for as part of your novated lease.
RemServ takes a set amount from your pre-tax salary each payday and uses it to pay for services provided by third parties, such as your mechanic or car detailers. So you don't need to pay for service and maintenance costs up front - it's all paid for using money in your novated leasing account.
Access to expert advice - avoid being overcharged!
When it comes to getting your car repaired or serviced, it's often hard to know if you are being overcharged. So how do you know if you're getting the right price?
Simon explains how RemServ can help with finding the right price for service and maintenance.
"If you have a fully-maintained novated lease, our team of qualified mechanics must approve any work completed on your vehicle. So you'll have expert advice every time - they decide if the work being carried out on your car is necessary, and if so, whether you're being charged correctly," Simon said. "All you need to do is drop off your car, ask your mechanic to give RemServ a call and then pick it up when it's ready."
Consider this example:
Frank leases a car worth $34,000 on a four-year lease term. He works close to home so he only drives his car 15,000 km each year. Based on his $85,000 salary (excluding super), Frank would receive a monthly saving of $237 or $2,850 each year. That's an estimated benefit of up to $11,400 for the term of the lease.
