Find answers to corporate car leasing and employer-sponsored employee programme questions
The contract is entered into between the leasing company (Lessor) and the Corporate (lessee) to provide vehicles for a predetermined term for use by lessee or its employee. The leasing company is the legal owner of vehicle and passes on the right of use of the car to the Lessee for the duration of contract.
At normal expiry, the vehicle is returned under the agreement unless an extension or another permitted arrangement has been approved. Tenure and any purchase option are confirmed in the proposal and contract; do not assume a universal buyout right or prohibition.
Lessor procures the vehicle as per specifications provided by lessee and delivers the same to the lessee for the pre-decided tenure (as agreed in the approved proposal and contract) on lease along with fleet management services taking away all the hassles of managing:
The Lessor charges a fixed lease rental to be paid monthly for a worry free driving experience during the term.
For the Employee:
The value of the car at the end of the tenure is known as Residual Value. The lease rentals are calculated in such a way that the employee pays only for the usage of the vehicle and not the residual value.
It is determined depending on risk profile of asset, the kilometers and several factors that have an impact on it.
In case the vehicle is stolen or is declared total loss, complete documents along with FIR and No Trace Certificate has to be obtained and provided to TRISTAR.
In valid claims, the contract will be terminated on the payment of the difference of the Book Value and amount paid by the insurance company.
If the employee is joining another company, lease rental can be transferred to the new company subject to TRISTAR and the new employer agree to get in to an agreement.
However, if this is not possible, the contract can be closed as per the terms agreed. Alternatively, the same can be passed on for use to any employee in the same company. Or any employee is eligible to buy the car at the fair market value at the discretion of the leasing company.
A lease rental reflects expected vehicle value at return, funding costs, selected services, tenure and kilometres. Compare the total contract cash flows with a loan-funded purchase, including upfront payments, insurance, maintenance and end-of-term value. Rentals are not simply depreciation, and a fixed saving percentage is not guaranteed.
