There are many reasons to consider a novated lease and the number one benefit is the financial savings compared to other finance options. If you are looking at buying a luxury car there may be additional benefits available through the range of Corporate Programs on offer.
All the major luxury brands including Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Lexus run corporate programs. And like salary packaging, many employers use their membership of these programs as a way to recruitment and reward staff.
These programs effectively offer employees of large companies and industry associations free, or discounted, incentives to purchase a new luxury vehicle. And many of the benefits are not available if you are a private buyer.
Over the years the benefits may change though they are all aimed at reducing your running costs and enhancing your overall ownership experience.
Each luxury manufacturer has a number of ways that they can make owners feel special and part of an exclusive club. And when you’re choosing a luxury car as a reward for yourself, a few extras make it even better.
Servicing and maintenance costs are often the thing that worries people when they start to consider purchasing their first luxury European vehicle. A Corporate Program is a good way to ease your concerns because you’ll have access to an account manager to help you understand the total cost of ownership rather than focusing on one aspect.
A survey conducted by Mercedes-Benz in 2014 revealed that the complimentary servicing and free roadside assistance are considered the biggest benefits by the members of their Corporate Program.
So why not get from your novated lease by purchasing a luxury vehicle from a manufacturer that offers a corporate program?
