Leasing an Eco-Car - Helping Your Business

There are a number of things to consider when arranging your next vehicle lease, and at Windmill Leasing we understand that an eco-car lease could be a smart financial move. Leasing an eco-friendly vehicle could be a way of helping you save money for your business travel in the long term, with some added bonuses to match!

Go green with low carbon emissions and fulfil your CSR

Eco-friendly cars can help you to fulfil your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), as they emit lower carbon emissions.

More too, if you choose to go green through leasing a fleet of eco-friendly vehicles from Windmill Leasing, you can make a considerable reduction on your carbon footprint, and help to save the environment.

Choose an eco-vehicle and pay less road tax

As we all know, cars in the UK have annual road tax or, as it is formally known, Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) or Graduation Vehicle Excise Duty (GVED).

But did you know that cars registered before March 1st 2001 are taxed by their engine size (VED), but cars registered after this date are charged based on their carbon emissions (GVED)?

That means when it comes to eco-cars with low carbon emissions – carbon emissions lower than 100g/km – they are completely free to tax. And if your carbon emissions are lower than 120g/km, it will cost you just £35/year. This has the potential to save money on business travel to a huge extent; especially when you think that a less economical vehicle with higher carbon emissions can cost up to £400/year to tax.

Save money on fuel through eco-leasing

Economical vehicle leasing with an eco-car will almost certainly save you money on fuel. Day to day business travel can cost you less even as the price of petrol and diesel rises across the UK. It also follows that those who go green with an eco-car tend to drive more efficiently, which ultimately leads to less fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions, which saves money.
