Fuel

• 10% off (by avoiding GST) • An additional pre-tax income saving (varies greatly depending on your personal tax position, but usually at least 15%) Depending on how your novated lease is structured, you should save at least 25% on your average fill-up, every time. In other words, if you put 50 litres in your tank at $2 per litre, everyone else will be paying $75, but you'll be paying $56 (or less) once the tax advantage from the novation is factored in. That's a whopping $19 off your average tank of fuel! Depending on your circumstances, we'll tell you exactly what you can get.

The costs of using the fuel card are wrapped into the management fee. Just be aware that some providers (such as Coles Express) charge a 1.5% fee for use of the fuel card, so it's worth asking before you fill up.

When your novated car is running low on juice, simply head to a fuel station like you normally would. But when you go to pay, just use your Leaselab fuel card to pay instead of whatever card (or cash) you pay with normally. The Leaselab fuel card is secured by your own PIN and is accepted at 93% of stations. The card can only be used to purchase fuel and oil - not other items (like drinks and snacks). If you don't want to use the fuel card, then that's ok. We'll always reimburse you if you just send us the receipt, so don't worry if you don't have it on you.

Your account report provides all your fuel transactions (all of your expenditures) in one place for tax time. An Excel spreadsheet is available too, if required.

1. Are there any restrictions for using the fuel card? Our fuel cards can only be used for fuel and oil. Some providers allow their fuel cards to be used for other things such as servicing, however we have found that this can be problematic, so we have a separate system in place for paying these types of expenses (see the servicing section). 2. Which petrol stations can I use my fuel card at? 95% of service stations accept our fuel card. These include 7-Eleven, Ampol, Apco, BP, Burmah, Caltex, Coles Express, EG Fuelco, Freedom Fuels, Independent, Kwik Fuels, Liberty, Metro, Mobil, Peal, Puma, Shell, United, Woolworths and more. If you fill up at a station that doesn't accept this Motorpass card, just pay for the fuel yourself, get a receipt and we'll reimburse you. 3. What happens if I use more petrol than is listed in my novated lease quotation? If you are continually overspending on fuel, we'll contact you to arrange a budget recalculation. We'll use the data on your previous fuel spending to work out what your budget should actually be. We'll then agree with you on what your new budget will be and, with your permission, increase the amount of your salary sacrifice to cover the difference. 4. What happens if I don't have my fuel card and purchase fuel without it, can I be reimbursed? Yes, absolutely. Just put in a reimbursement request accompanied by a copy of the receipt and we'll reimburse you for the fuel purchase. 5. What happens if I lose my fuel card? Not a problem. Let us know ASAP so we can stop other people from using it, and then we'll order you a new one. Just like a credit card.
