Leases

Vehicle and equipment lease products.

24 leases from 16 banks and lenders, read every night from what each one publishes under the Consumer Data Right.

What does a lease cost?

Banks don't publish a lease rate you can compare. Each one prices a lease when you apply, going on the car or equipment and who's behind the deal. Carmakers' finance arms are the exception: they quote 8.21% to 9.94% on finance leases, for their own vehicles only. What the banks do publish is the establishment fee: from $125 (CommBank) to $500 (Bank of Melbourne, BankSA, St. George Bank and Westpac) for a novated lease and from $495 (Bendigo Bank) to $595 (CommBank) for a finance lease.

Novated lease
A deal between you, your employer and a lender. Your employer makes the payments and covers the running costs out of your salary, mostly before tax is taken out. Electric cars under the luxury car tax threshold can also be exempt from fringe benefits tax.
Finance lease
The lender buys the car or equipment and rents it to you for a set term, usually with a balloon payment at the end if you want to keep it. Businesses can often claim the payments as a tax deduction.
Operating lease
You rent the asset and hand it back when the term ends, with no balloon to pay. It's common for business equipment and fleets, where the lender carries the risk of what the asset is worth later.
