Car financing company
We understand that car leasing sometimes doesn’t work for a business. That’s why we also offer a range of competitive hire purchase options including structured payments to suit your cash flow.
With hire purchase car financing we simply fund the car or asset by way of a good, old-fashioned finance arrangement over 3-5 years in most cases.
Many companies go for options that include balloon payments and the GST content of the purchase going back in.
Payments are not tax deductible but you do get a GST refund on the car up-front and can claim annual depreciation and the interest costs over the term of the loan.
You depreciate the car typically somewhere between 20% and 30% p.a. depending on your accountant’s advice. You enjoy the benefits of ownership but your capital is tied up and may also affect other funding arrangements with your bank.
From $15k to $5.5 million
The traditional car financing facilities we manage for clients range from $15k to over $5.5 million. These cover assets ranging from cars, vans and utes to trucks, plant & equipment, diggers and boats.
We can also manage the whole buying process for you just like we do with SmartLease car leasing, which saves you money by getting the best deals through our network of preferred dealers.

See how Top Sparx Eletrical Ltd Managing Director Dillon Barnett used Driveline to finance his new Ford Ranger…
“I first heard about Driveline through a friend at the end of 2017. At the time, I was driving a 2008 Ford Ranger and needed to get into something a bit more modern and up to date. After having a look through the different models, I upgraded to the 2018 Ford Ranger XLT 4WD Double Cab.
“To me The Ford Ranger is the best all round ute on the market. It looks great, has impressive features, drives like a car, has a grunty engine and can do all that I need it to do for work purposes and personal ventures.
“I felt that outright ownership gave me more scope to personalise my ute, allowing me to extensively brand it to make a visual statement, so in the process it’s become an awesome advertising platform. The sign writing promoting Top Sparx Electrical covers the majority of the ute. Because of this, owning the ute made a lot more sense to me.
“Rob Gale really helped me throughout the process. He understood what the main purpose of the ute was going to be and through this, we were able to make the key decisions needed. If you want an easy process of owning or leasing a vehicle, Driveline will help you through every step of the way.”
