To book a service, contact your local dealership relevant to your vehicle – e.g. customers driving a Ford Ranger would contact their local Ford dealership, and customers driving a Toyota Hilux would contact their local Toyota dealership. Upon contacting the servicing department, the customer will inform the dealership of their rego number, and that it is a Toyota Fleet Managed vehicle, and all standard costs will be covered.
Every person with a valid driver’s license is covered by insurance to drive our vehicles.
While we do not charge for additional drivers, drivers under the age of 25 years old do incur a higher excess charge in the case of an at-fault car accident. This excess is still generally significantly lower than that of competitors. While customers should bear this in mind, this doesn't disallow younger drivers from driving so long as they have a valid driver’s license.
The frequency of servicing intervals depends on the type of vehicle you have. Toyota vehicles including our hilux’s and hiaces are serviced every 10,000KMs, Ford vehicles including rangers are serviced every 15,000KMs, and Izuzu vehicles including DMax’s are serviced every 15,000KMs.

If you are deemed not at fault in an accident, you will not be required to pay an excess. If you have an at fault accident, a $1,500 insurance excess applies. Any other miscellaneous damage costs will depend on the severity and will be discussed with you.

If you have a problem with your card, such as it being stolen, cancelled, or expired, you should let us know right away.
