I will never lease another vehicle through smartleasing again. If I have monthly deductions from my pay to cover maintenance fuel etc, why do I have to pay out of pocket when I take my car for a maintenance issue?????? That was the whole point of doing the lease, it was taken care of each fortnight and I didn't have to worry about putting my… Read more

hand in my pocket. My account is thousands of dollars in excess, but I have to pay and then seek a reimbursement???????? I will be managing my own vehicles from the next purchase on.

My 3rd and definitely final lease with this company! Upgraded to a BYD full electric car after 6 years of leasing my Honda CRV. The quote was too good to be true, I emailed the company they assured me it would be around the $500 mark, due to the EV subsidy! I just wanted to be able to budget and wanted to know how it would affect my take home… Read more

pay. Imagine my shock when $808 came out of my salary! Contacted them and was given the brush with the pre and post tax jargon! Not impressed, especially about the Pepper Money loan they forced on me, the interest on that loan is almost that of the car over 4 years! Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice - Shame on me! Never again Smart Leasing!

I recently used Smartleasing to organise my new Kia Sportage, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish. The team at Smartleasing made what could have been a complicated process feel simple and stress-free. They were professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful at every step. All my questions were answered clearly, and… Read more

they kept me updated throughout the approval and delivery process.

What really impressed me was how smooth everything felt — no pressure, no confusion, just genuine support and efficient service. The paperwork was handled seamlessly, and the turnaround time was quicker than I expected.

I’m absolutely thrilled with my new Sportage and grateful for how easy Smartleasing made the whole journey. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to lease or finance a vehicle. Fantastic service and a great result!

Smart Leasing was a pleasure to deal with. Sarah was friendly, knowledgable and super responsive to any question, and there were many, I had along the way. When there was no communication from the car dealer for a while, Smart Leasing chased them up without having to be prompted. I'm very happy to have them as my Novated Leasing partner. Show details

Smart Leasing Review – BYD Sealion I recently leased the BYD Sealion 6, and the experience has been smooth and efficient from start to finish. Opting for a novated lease through Smart Leasing has made the process straightforward, providing financial benefits such as pre-tax savings and bundled running costs. Nik was very informative and responsive… Read more

which was very reassuring.

The BYD Sealion is a beautiful well-priced, feature-packed electric SUV with impressive performance. It offers a practical driving range suitable for daily my commutes as well as long trips. Equipped with BYD’s latest driver assistance systems and smart infotainment. Smooth & responsive drive and sustainable

Leasing Benefits with Smart Leasing Tax Savings – Novated leasing helps reduce taxable income by bundling running costs like insurance, servicing, and charging. Convenience – All expenses are managed in a single payment, removing the hassle of separate bills. Flexible Terms – Tailored lease options to suit budget and lifestyle needs. Lower Running Costs – EVs generally have reduced servicing and charging costs compared to petrol vehicles.

Overall, the BYD Sealion is an excellent choice for those looking to transition into an EV while benefiting from the financial advantages of smart leasing. It combines affordability, technology, and sustainability in a stylish package.

Would highly recommend both the car and the leasing process to anyone.

Predatory loan sharks. Will increase your fuel budget to almost $300 even if you only use half that! They do not listen to law or reason!!! Avoid at all costs!!! Show details

 Follow-up  · Upon voicing my grievances they didn't reply to me for a week then when I was on a work trip many hours away from home they made the decision to deactivate my fuel cards without prior consent. I didn't find out until I needed to fill up and only had my BP card... 300ks from home... When the new card did come it wasn't set up properly and wouldn't… Read more

Absolutely the worst company to deal with. Unless you want to feel rage every time you need to do anything with your vehicle, even as simple as trying to figure out where you can get your annual maintenence done, avoid this company like the plague. Show details

Wanted to give this company a good chance but after quoting me totally wrong fees, I now have the Lifestyle Expenses Master Card which doesn't work with most of my utilities providers (i.e. South East Water, Exetel Internet, Medibank etc). Smart are saying it's not their problem as these companies don't accept gift cards. So a product they are… Read more

marketing doesn't work as advertised. Will lodge complaint under ACL as they are unwilling to do anything or refund the credit card fee.

Finalising my Novated Finance Lease for the BYD SHARK 6 Premium Utility was initially overwhelming, but with clear guidance it made the process easy to understand. They quickly prepared the quote, including my preferred Deep Sea Blue colour and accessories, and I was pleasantly surprised by how little the lease impacted my pay. Smart’s persistence… Read more

and attention to detail during the application and finance approval stages were invaluable, and I appreciated how they ensured all aftermarket items, insurance options, and pricing were correctly included. The proactive coordination with the dealer and timely follow-ups, especially around settlement and payment scheduling kept everything on track for delivery. Overall, Smart’s expertise and support made a complex process smooth and stress-free.

The process was not too unexpected and every query was responded to very quickly. Due to having several different organisations involved such as the leasing company, finance company, etc; the flow can be a bit difficult to navigate should you require ongoing updates. However, if you just apply and follow the instructions as they are requested, it… Read more

all gets processed and approved.

The customer service was really good and you will be directed to the correct agency should that be necessary.

I recommend Smartleasing highly.

If you have a choice of other companies to use then try them. Smartleasing are disorganised, many staff member are unhelpful and can be very rude. The end of lease experience was terrible and ended up cost me several $1000's in tax that could have been avoided.

Novated Lease taking ages and end up with withdraw due to unclear explanation from financier – Please find another leasing company for a Novated Lease and don't waste your time here. I waited nearly two months and received the confirmation for the settlement date. They asked me to re-sign the 3rd contract and adjust the instalment due to the broker fee adjustment. Received the third quotation, signed and confirmed with the settlement day.… Read more

On that settlement day, they requested more information about my ID details and other loans, which had been provided at an earlier stage and I was thinking NOT supposed to be requested after the 3rd credit approval and settlement day. Back and forward without any explanation from the financier and I decided to withdraw from the application. For peace of mind, please consider other lease companies as a comparison.
