Examples
Terry
Terry runs an engineering company supporting the mining sector. He has 13 vehicles in his fleet, and has historically bought Mitsubishi Pajeros.Terry was unaware that certain types of vehicles are FBT exempt - until HFM reviewed his fleet requirements.
Now he is running a number of Toyota Hiluxes that are FBT exempt - reducing administration and saving his employees an average of $2,500 a year in tax! In addition his new vehicles depreciate at a significantly lower rate, meaning more profits retained by the business.
Moira
Moira runs a community transport organization in Raymond Terrace. Historically they have traded motor vehicles when due for replacement. They were unaware of a particular piece of GST legislation for charities that meant vehicles could be sold GST free. Over the past 5 vehicles being replaced they have received $21,000 more than the trade in figure for their vehicles.Helen
Helen is a secretary in Newcastle. When shopping for her last vehicle, HFM sourced her new Toyota RAV4 for $1,380 less than the quote she had negotiated, In addition, she received an extra $1,100 more for her trade in-sold directly to a wholesaler.Kelvin
Kelvin is the fleet manager for an organization with 42 vehicles, a combination of passenger and commercials.By using HFM's Datafleet program he has reduced his time spent on vehicle administration by 80% - leaving him time to work with HFM to reduce overall vehicle costs. By analyzing the utilization of the fleet we were able to help reduce fleet costs by:
- Identifying excess vehicle requirement and reducing fleet by four.
- Reducing finance costs by an average of $450 per vehicle per annum.
- Aggregating vehicle purchases saving an average of $15,000 per annum.
- Changing 8 vehicles to FBT exempt models saving an average of $2,200 per annum for employees in tax.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I able to buy a used car through your service?
Yes. HFM can source preowned cars via auction, private sale, wholesalers and dealers.How does the Guarantee work?
HFM offers a money-back guarantee that we will save at least 10% of your annual vehicle costs. This excludes fuel, insurance, registration and other things not under our influence. HFM's thrust is aimed at providing strategic advice on replacement and resale events. This relies very heavily on monitoring your vehicle(s) data to select the optimal time for transitions.In addition, HFM uses its bulk purchasing power to achieve discounts beyond those that smaller fleets and single vehicle owners are normally offered.
We do require that vehicles are bought through our service unless your fleet is of such size that you can achieve the same discounts as us.
Who decides what vehicle I will buy when the time comes?
It is entirely up to you. HFM will provide information to ensure you have the full picture, for example if there's a new model coming imminently that will replace the vehicle you are considering. HFM can also help those that find it difficult to decide, and/or do not follow the automotive markets closely.Is your service available Australia wide?
Yes, we operate in all states and territories.My business already has a fuel card, and we don't want to change. How will this be handled?
You can keep using your existing card. HFM will need to be given access to the fuel card data. Your fuel card provider just has to be notified. We help with this.What's the benefit of a fuel card, and who can get one?
The benefits are:- Your fuel usage is tracked. HFM analyses the data to discover discrepancies and anomilies (such as a vehicle being filled over capacity, which raises an alert to the owner of the vehicle).
- HFM is able to offer a discount off the pump price of 2.5 cents (30 day terms) and 3.5 cents (7 day terms) per litre through our arrangement with Caltex.
