How does salary sacrifice work?
Employees sacrifice a fixed amount of their pre-tax salary in exchange for a car and all-inclusive* package. This means there’s no cost to the employer and the employee pays less National Insurance and Income tax, so it’s more cost-effective than financing a car with their post-tax salary.
Plus, Zenith offers all fuel types across a wide range of manufacturers and models, as well as brand-new and quality-assured used models.

How an electric car scheme works
Offering electric vehicles (EVs) to employees through salary sacrifice is a tangible and simple way for businesses to promote sustainability. We’ll work with you to create your salary sacrifice policy, which can include a CO2 cap. Your employees will then be able to choose from a wide range of electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs), depending on your policy.
Plus, EVs not only reduce emissions but cost too! With their reduced Benefit-in-Kind rates and running costs, driving an EV will help you look after the planet and the pounds!
Salary sacrifice is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to drive an electric or hybrid car.
Used car salary sacrifice
As well as brand-new cars, Zenith also offers used cars on its salary sacrifice schemes. Not only do employees get more for their money, but the cars can be on their driveway in as little as 14 days.
Plus, all our used cars come with our usual all-inclusive package* and are covered by our Used Car Promise – so employees get a car they can rely on.
