Money can grow on trees with the Nissan Leaf
The wait for a commercially viable electric car is over – according to vehicle leasing company Autoplan.
The Midlands-based company is keen to highlight the big savings available to businesses by leasing the revolutionary Nissan Leaf, which has been named Car of the Year 2011.
As a mass-produced electric car, the Nissan Leaf has zero emissions. Besides these obvious environmental benefits, the Nissan Leaf also offers considerable savings with no road tax and no employee tax.
It has no PAYE cost as a company car and 100% tax relief on the rental cost to the employer with no class one National Insurance Contributions.
Also, as the cost of fuel is now at a record high - with diesel prices hitting approximately £5.90 per gallon, including £4.13 of tax - this has helped make the Nissan Leaf become one of the most desirable company cars on the lease market.
The Nissan Leaf means your company can now go green and wave goodbye to the petrol station. While after the tax savings and a £5,000 grant from the Government, the Nissan Leaf offers value for money and allows drivers to avoid the average £87 cost of filling up at the petrol station.
Autoplan, based on Kenilworth Road, Meriden, is offering the Nissan Leaf, as one of its many leasing options for companies, for contract hire starting at £360, including three years servicing.
Autoplan are so confident in the technology behind the Nissan Leaf, they will cover the cost of all the servicing bills during the term, leaving the customer ‘worry free.’
Andy Gibbins, Autoplan Managing Director, said the benefit of owning a Nissan Leaf meant customers could dodge the ever-rising cost of fuel:
“Even if you did 1,000 miles a month, in a car that was doing 40 to the gallon, that’s 25 gallons of diesel. Today’s average pump price of £1.31 per litre means that’s £147.37 per month saving on fuel – and rising, with each hike in fuel price we get.
“Suddenly the cost of leasing a Nissan Leaf is £360 less a fuel saving of £147 along with zero emissions, zero car tax and no servicing costs.”
Autoplan has been offering a full range of car leasing, contract hire and van leasing since 1993 and it has recently introduce short-term car leasing of three, six and 12 months.
