Fleet financing allows businesses to acquire multiple vehicles with volume discounts and simplified management.
Larger fleets typically qualify for 2-5% discount on interest rates, reducing overall financing costs.
Tip: Fleet financing with 5+ vehicles often qualifies for volume discounts, reducing your effective cost by 2-5%.
Fleet finance offers volume discounts on vehicle purchases, simplified administration with one finance facility, consistent monthly costs for budgeting, potential novated lease benefits for staff, and professional fleet management options including maintenance programs.
Leasing (operating lease) keeps vehicles off your balance sheet, includes maintenance, and simplifies turnover. Buying (chattel mortgage) builds equity and offers depreciation benefits. Many businesses use a mix based on vehicle type and usage patterns.
Most businesses turn over fleet vehicles every 3-4 years or 60,000-80,000 km to optimise the balance between depreciation, maintenance costs, and resale value. Keeping vehicles too long increases maintenance costs, while turning over too quickly misses the lowest-cost ownership period.
