Tusker Car Scheme offers an affordable and convenient way of driving, through salary sacrifice.

The Tusker car scheme is a valuable employee benefit that provides both financial and environmental advantages. For employees, it offers an affordable way to drive a car with a simplified, inclusive package. For employers, it supports sustainability goals, attracts talent, and reduces National Insurance contributions. With flexible options and extensive support, Tusker’s car scheme is an effective way to promote sustainable transportation and enhance employee satisfaction.
The main benefits: Employers
- Fits with sustainability objectives – a way to reduce Scope 3 emissions and improve environmental credentials
- Employee attraction and retention – a meaningful addition to your benefits package demonstrating a commitment to employee financial wellbeing
- Easy to implement – Tusker manage most of the administrative processes, minimising the time and resources needed from HR and payroll teams
- Reduced NI contributions – employers pay lower NI as salaries are reduced, adding to the value of the programme
- Lifestyle protections – should an employee leave the organisation, there aren’t any fees for the employer or employee to pay, in a range of circumstances
The main benefits for employees:
- Cost savings
- Employees can drive a car of their choice while saving on tax and National Insurance contributions, especially on EVs and ULEVs. This makes driving a car through salary sacrifice more affordable than traditional financing or leasing options
- Charging an EV is typically much cheaper than refuelling a petrol or diesel vehicle. On average, the cost of electricity for EVs is significantly lower per mile than the cost of fuel
- No deposit or hidden costs – one single monthly amount comes from the employee’s pre-tax salary
-
- Inclusive – insurance, routine servicing, tyres, maintenance, and RAC roadside assistance are included, so employees don’t have to worry about unexpected car expenses
- Carbon offsetting – Tusker offset all the charging and any tailpipe emissions from their cars
- Flexibility and choice – Tusker’s scheme also supports flexibility and choice. Employees can select from a wide variety of vehicles, including cars in stock and Pre-loved, ensuring there’s an option to suit their lifestyle and preferences
-
- *Please note, we use carbon offsetting for vehicle tailpipe emissions and grid charging emissions only. We do not offset the carbon footprint to manufacture the vehicle.
