With prices for unleaded petrol consistently over $1.20+ in just the first two months of 2020, we understand things could be feeling a little strained. This is why we wanted to provide you with our fuel-saving tips to help you at the bowser.

Is a Novated Lease really a saving?

While it may seem complicated, the reality is simple. You can save yourself thousands over the term of your lease by salary packaging a car, you don’t even have to get a new car, you can package your current car. There is a common misconception that only high salary earners are able to get a Novated Lease, but this isn’t the case. We can tailor your lease based on your salary, km’s driven, lease term and the car you would like to package, getting you the best savings possible. 

Perhaps the best benefit of a novated lease is the convenience, with Paywise it is all-inclusive; we can take care of your insurance and registration, and help you save with fleet discounts on tyres and servicing. We can also provide you with a fuel card as part of your novated lease saving you 40%* on fuel costs by using your pre-tax income. We pride ourselves on saving our customers money, and taking away the financial strains of cars and all their associated costs.

How to give yourself a head start

There are some simple measures you can take to save on petrol, like a fuel discount card. You may receive a discount simply by scanning your fuel station rewards card. Not only can you save money with these discounts, but by filling up on a cheap fuel day, you can save up to nearly $0.20 a litre which can make a bigger difference than you’d think.

Take advantage of public transport

While it might not be ideal for everyone, taking advantage of public transport even a few days a week will cut your fuel consumption the most. Consider the train, bus or even get yourself an e-bike and leisurely cycle to work. If that’s not quite your thing, maybe you can look at carpooling with a friend or two and if you really just want to get in the car by yourself after a stressful day at work, try avoiding peak hours to save fuel.
