Rent to Own Vehicle Information
A Simple Alternative to Traditional Car Finance
Our Rent to Own program is designed for customers looking for an alternative to traditional vehicle finance.
Please note: We are not a licensed credit provider. Our program operates as a long-term vehicle rental agreement with the option to purchase the vehicle at the end of the agreed rental term.
How It Works
-
An upfront security deposit of $2,000–$4,000 is required, depending on the value of the vehicle.
-
We assess your ability to meet the rental payments using recent payslips and bank statements.
-
In most cases, we do not perform a credit check.
-
Weekly rental payments are typically around $250 per week, depending on the vehicle.
-
The length of your agreement will vary based on the value of the vehicle and the agreed payment schedule.
Vehicles Available
Our Rent to Own fleet primarily consists of reliable:
-
Hatchbacks
-
Sedans
-
SUVs
We generally do not offer 4WDs or European vehicles through this program.
Most vehicles have a current market value between $10,000 and $15,000.
Finding the Right Vehicle
We usually carry a limited selection of Rent to Own vehicles. If we don’t have the right vehicle available, we’ll source one to suit your needs through:
-
Trade-ins
-
Dealer auctions
-
Private sellers
-
Our trusted industry network
Depending on availability and current workshop demand, sourcing and preparing your vehicle may take a few weeks.
Need a Car Straight Away?
In many cases, we can get you on the road immediately with one of our short-term rental vehicles while we source and prepare your Rent to Own vehicle.
Once your chosen vehicle is ready, we’ll contact you to arrange the changeover.
End of Your Agreement
When your rental agreement comes to an end, you’ll have two options:
-
Purchase the vehicle and take ownership, or
-
Return the vehicle and receive your full security deposit back.
To receive a full refund of your deposit, the vehicle must be returned clean, in good condition (allowing for fair wear and tear), and all terms of the rental agreement must have been met.
Our goal is to provide a straightforward, flexible pathway to vehicle ownership, with clear terms and no hidden surprises.
