About ALP employer services

Established in 2004, Automotive Lease Packaging Pty Ltd (ALP) provides car finance, vehicle procurement, leasing and fleet management for both private and business customers all around Australia. We specialise in providing the full suite of services related to novated leasing facilities for cars. We do not provide any other salary packaged goods and services directly.

ALP collaborates with a number of salary packaging companies to provide employees with a wide range of salary packaged goods and services. This enables us to concentrate on continuing to provide state of the art automotive leasing services.

Experienced in providing corporate services

ALP’s experience in providing effective services to public sector agencies, large organisations and SME’s are demonstrated by our many on-going contracts including:

ALP has been the sole supplier of self-managed lease services to Northern Health (Victoria) since 2008. Services to Northern Health employees are supplied subject to a head agreement. Northern Health is currently in the process of extending salary packaging opportunities to an additional 4,000 staff.

ALP provides services for effective working arrangements and efficient systems including:

  • Regular management meetings and reporting, both electronic and paper based.

Attractive, customised deals

Over 80% of our clients are not obligated through their employers to use ALP’s novated leasing services but choose to do so because we offer the most attractive, customised deals. Operating in this highly competitive part of the market ensures that ALP is constantly seeking better ways to meet the specific needs of each and every individual customer.

Approach to providing novated leasing services

ALP strives to be the Australian leader in all areas of car finance, procurement, fleet management and novated leasing whilst maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction. ALP’s business model directly addresses customer needs for transparency, multiple options, and minimised risk.

In addition ALP will offer the following features and services to provide optimal flexibility to your employees and the very best deals available in Australia:

  • We guarantee to obtain the best new car price for customers. If a cheaper written quote is obtained ALP will give a free vehicle protection pack when we order the vehicle.
  • Optimum vehicle replacement – we will advise customers of the ideal time to replace their vehicle with no out of pocket expense.
  • Residual value comparison – we will provide an estimate the future value of each vehicle to assist in the selection of an appropriate car and residual figure.
  • We are able to offer non-novated car loans and leasing, if this best suits customer circumstances.
  • ALP will provide much greater consumer protection because we operate under National Consumer Credit Protection (NCCP) Regulations, being a provider of consumer as well as commercial finance. (Australian Credit Licence Number 422347).
  • ALP is in the process of obtaining a Motor Vehicle Dealer’s Licence which will enable us to offer additional options to consumers including: higher trade-in values and provision of good used cars, if desired.

How it works

ALP’s Contract Manager will work closely with your Contract Manager to establish clear mutual expectations, KPIs and an effective system for working together.

  • ALP will inform and educate your employees via our website, online calculators, educational videos and site presentations.
  • Once an employee has been qualified by ALP, eligibility confirmed and a car identified, the ALP Contract Manager will liaise with your Contract Manager and/or Salary Packaging Team (SPT) to have the Deed of Novation signed.
  • Once the vehicle purchase has been settled, ALP will liaise with SPT to confirm the details of the lease and salary deductions. A post settlement check will be conducted following the employee’s first pay after receiving the car.  ALP will request permission to view the employee’s pay slip to confirm that the payroll setup is correct and that the correct deductions have been made. Any necessary adjustments will then be made with AFP SPT.
  • All expenses and actions are recorded in ALP’s management system daily and a monthly invoice issued to you.
  • Reporting will be undertaken according to your requirements.
  • After sales issues are managed as quickly and efficiently as possible by our professional sales team. In practice we find that such services are minimal because customers know exactly where they stand from the beginning.
  • Your employees will be able to manage their novated leases through ALP’s online interactive tracking system. (Attachment 3 contains examples of employee reports and a screen shot of the employee’s view.)
  • Similarly you will be able to login to a secure website, again hosted by ALP, to see all employee lease details at any time.

Exemplary customer focused service

ALP’s experienced sales staff will tailor car and finance packages to the employee’s specific needs taking into account their taxation benefits, cost effectiveness and vehicle desires. We will ensure that each employee is confident and capable of making an informed decision that best suits their personal circumstances and requirements.

ALP has built their business by providing exemplary customer focused service. Flexible lease options are central to our offerings and include our ability and willingness to:

  • Provide a range of different finance products depending on the customer’s financial circumstances and offer finance interest rates currently starting at 5.5%* - both are made possible through our financier panel.
  • s
  • Arrange finance for cars up to 10 years old and provide flexible terms from 1-5 years.
  • Advise employees on the ideal time to replace their vehicle with no out of pocket expense (Optimum vehicle replacement).
  • Provide a residual value comparison - we estimate the future value of each vehicle to assist in the selection of an appropriate car and residual figure.

Unique to ALP’s novated lease quotes is a transparent finance amortization schedule providing month by month information on interest charges, cumulative payments, payout amounts and the interest to be saved by early payout.

* typically a discounted rate which may not include no payout features and benefits.
