Fleet Solutions: Salary Sacrifice Car Scheme
Did you know we are partnered with NHS Fleet Solutions to offer you a simple, cost‑effective way to lease a brand‑new low‑emission car for three years?
How it works
You agree to give up part of your gross salary in exchange for an all‑inclusive car package - meaning you save on tax, National Insurance and pension payments and pay nothing upfront. No credit checks or deposit payments required.
Your monthly salary sacrifice covers:
- fully comprehensive insurance (up to five drivers)
- road tax
- servicing, tyres, breakdown and windscreen cover
- options include a home EV charger
Benefits of the scheme
If you’re looking to upgrade your car or switch to an EV, the scheme offers:
- lower costs than buying or leasing privately
- a hassle‑free, fully maintained vehicle
- a simple online quotation system
- dedicated support when you need it

What colleagues say:
“The process is simple and straightforward, and the all‑inclusive package provides real peace of mind. The option to add a home charger with an EV made switching to electric incredibly convenient. The tax savings are very welcome bonus.”
Service Manager – Strategic Change
“The process through application, installation of EV charger and delivery of my EV was seamless. To be able to charge at home and enjoy the benefits from lower cost electricity rates for overnight charging has been a great advantage.”
Head of Infrastructure
“I’ve been extremely pleased with my experience of the Salary Sacrifice scheme – so much so that I’ve already entered into my second agreement. The annual service, tyres, roadside assistance, and insurance all included makes the whole process effortless. There’s also a great range of options available to suit most people’s needs.”
Team Manager – Active Business Unit
“The ordering process is straightforward and having Fleet Solutions as an experienced provider gives reassurance that they have the knowledge and expertise to provide support at every stage if needed. The car scheme gives the convenience of knowing that your running costs are all fixed for the period of the leasing agreement.”
Principal Accountant
“The scheme is ideal for my family. It means we can have a new car and everything is included in the monthly payment - insurance and servicing etc. Fleet Solutions were helpful and the paperwork was straightforward to complete. The salary sacrifice payment makes it affordable for us and the car has been excellent.”
