Car iQ

 

TMC, in partnership with Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions (“HCVS”), HRUX and BCF Wessex, offers Car iQ, the next generation Employee Car Ownership (ECO) programme.

What does Car iQ do?

Car iQ enables businesses to provide employees with a structured car scheme, but significantly reduces the cost to the employer, whilst ensuring the employee stays neutral, based in what they pay today in terms of whole life costs. It protects employees from future increases in company tax.

Why do we need Car iQ?

Car iQ has been developed in response to the legislation on Optional Remuneration Arrangements (OpRAs) and the ever-increasing company car tax in the UK. As the company car drivers opt out, fleets are in danger of losing control over the cars that employees drive.
