Tradies have enough tools to worry about without adding cars to the mix. Between chasing leads, scheduling jobs and finishing projects on time, keeping your fleet up-to-date is just another hassle. But what if there was an easier way to keep your crew looking sharp and work-ready while saving coin for the toolkit? Spoiler alert: there is.
Vehicle leasing has become a no-brainer for savvy small business owners. Instead of splashing cash on buying and servicing the latest ute or van that will inevitably become a rusty relic down the track, leasing lets you enjoy always driving a new vehicle with low upfront costs and the ability to predictably budget usage.
While buying seems logical on the surface, here’s why leasing makes more financial sense:
Always look the part
Imagine rolling up to a job site in a brand-new vehicle, making a great first impression. With Thyme Fleet’s leasing options, you can upgrade your vehicle every few years, ensuring your fleet always looks polished and profesh. The confidence of a fresh set of wheels is priceless when it comes to winning business.
Avoid the depreciation drain
Unlike buying a vehicle outright, leasing offers the flexibility to upgrade your ride without the headache of depreciation. Depending on the new car model you choose, 10-15 per cent of its value usually vanishes the moment you drive it off the dealer’s lot, and by the end of the first year, another 10-15 per cent will likely be wiped off its value – ouch! With Thyme Fleet, you have the option to renew at the end of your lease and snag yourself a shiny new set of wheels. Say bye-bye to the dreaded D word.
Simplify budgeting
From fluctuating fuel and maintenance costs to surprise repair bills, car ownership is a rocky road of uncertainty. With leasing, expenses are fixed into predictable monthly payments, leaving you with more time to do what you do best: running your business like a boss.
Worry-free maintenance
When you lease, routine servicing and repairs are covered in the agreement so you don’t have to worry about check-ups pinching your pocket. We’ll tell you when you’re due for a service and once you’ve booked it in, our automated system covers the cost.
If you’re in the market for a fresh set of wheels for your crew, you’ve come to the right place.
