Fully Maintained Novated Lease – Roadside Assistance – What Can I Claim?
If you have a fully maintained novated lease, you may be reimbursed for eligible tyre-related expenses for your leased vehicle, provided the expense is incurred during your active lease period. This includes replacement tyres (same size only) and wheel alignments that help keep your vehicle safe and roadworthy.
What you can claim
- Replacement tyres for your leased vehicle.
- Replace tyres with the same tyre size and specification as the original tyres.
- Wheel alignment costs for your leased vehicle.
- Eligible tyre-related expenses incurred during your active lease period, including on your lease start date and lease end date.
- Credit card surcharge where it is separately itemised on the invoice or receipt for an otherwise eligible tyre expense.
What you can't claim
- Tyres for a vehicle other than your leased vehicle.
- Tyre upgrades, including changes to a different tyre size or specification.
- Wheel or tyre accessories that are not considered an eligible maintenance or replacement expense.
- Expenses incurred outside your active lease period.
- Costs that cannot be supported by valid documentation or clearly linked to your leased vehicle.

Examples
Can I claim the cost of replacing two worn tyres on my leased vehicle?
Sarah replaces two worn tyres on her leased vehicle with new tyres of the same size and specification during her active lease period. Sara can claim because it relates to the leased vehicle during the active lease period and is a like-for-like replacement.*
Can I claim larger tyres as part of a vehicle upgrade?
No. Michael replaces his original tyres with a larger size to improve the vehicle's appearance. This is considered an upgrade so Michael cannot claim the upgrade expense.*
Can I claim a wheel alignment completed at the same time as my tyre replacement?
Priya has a wheel alignment performed when replacing her tyres. Priya can claim as wheel alignment is an eligible maintenance cost.*
Can I claim tyres purchased after my novated lease has ended?
