How it works

How Carzie car leasing works

A Carzie lease is a fixed-term car lease with one weekly payment that covers the car, registration and comprehensive insurance. Here is the journey from browsing to driving.

  1. Choose your car

    Browse our local fleet and pick a vehicle. Every listing shows a weekly price with registration and insurance included.

    Browse anytime

  2. Apply in minutes

    Answer a few questions about your situation, income and expenses. The eligibility check is a soft enquiry, so applying never marks your credit file.

    ~5 minutes

  3. Verify from your phone

    Two secure SMS links arrive: photo ID through APLYiD, and bank statements through CreditSense. Both are private and take a few minutes each.

    ~10 minutes

  4. Get approved and pick up

    If approved, we arrange handover at our Slacks Creek workshop. Your car arrives serviced, registered, insured and ready to drive.

    1-2 business days

Two weeks of payments at pickup

When you collect your Carzie, the first two weeks of lease payments are paid in advance. Your regular weekly payments then continue for the rest of the term.

Insurance and registration are included

Your weekly payment includes comprehensive insurance and vehicle registration. You cover servicing, fuel, tolls, fines, and any at-fault insurance excess.

What happens after you apply?

APLYiD texts you a link to confirm your identity, and that one has to be done on your phone. CreditSense sends a text and an email to share your last 90 days of bank statements, so you can do that one on your phone or a computer. Most people finish both in about ten minutes.

Text, on your phone

Confirm your identity with APLYiD

  • Photograph the front and back of your driver licence
  • Take a quick selfie so APLYiD can match it to your licence
  • Needs a phone, because it uses your camera
APLYiD privacy policy
Text and email, either device

Share bank statements with CreditSense

  • Log in to your bank through the encrypted CreditSense portal
  • Use your phone or a computer, whichever you prefer
  • We assess what you can afford today, not just your credit score
How CreditSense keeps your data safe

The APLYiD text and the CreditSense text and email can each take up to 20 minutes to arrive. If your bank is not listed on CreditSense, email your statements to customercare@carzie.com.au and we will take it from there.

What does the weekly payment include?

Your Carzie lease is designed to be predictable. Here is what the one weekly price covers, so there are no surprises.

  • Fixed weekly payments

    One predictable weekly fee for the whole term. You always know what you are paying and when.

  • Registration included

    Your vehicle registration is included in the weekly payment, so a renewal never lands as a surprise bill.

  • Comprehensive insurance included

    Comprehensive insurance is included in the weekly payment, covering the vehicle while you drive.

  • GPS tracking and an immobiliser

    Every vehicle is fitted with GPS tracking and an immobiliser to protect the car. It is a condition of approval, and part of how we can approve drivers other lenders turn away.

  • Kilometres included every year

    Your lease includes an annual kilometre allowance, with no curfews and no restrictions on where you go. We confirm your allowance with your quote and set it out in your lease agreement.
