Tusker, part of Lloyds Banking Group, is the UK's leading salary sacrifice car benefit provider, with more than 17 years' experience helping organisations deliver an employee benefit that makes a real difference. Since launching the UK's first salary sacrifice car scheme, Tusker has become a trusted partner to employers across the public and private sectors, supporting organisations of every size with a flexible, affordable and sustainable way for employees to access a brand-new car.
Today, more than 2.5 million employees are eligible to join a Tusker scheme, spanning a diverse range of industries including healthcare, financial services, transport, education, retail, manufacturing and local government. The scheme is available through hundreds of organisations across the UK.
Tusker's salary sacrifice scheme enables employees to exchange part of their gross salary for a brand-new car, with a comprehensive package that includes insurance, servicing, maintenance, tyres, breakdown cover and road fund licence where applicable. With one simple monthly amount taken before tax and National Insurance, the scheme offers employees a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional vehicle ownership or personal leasing.
As the cost of living continues to influence financial decisions, salary sacrifice has become an increasingly valuable employee benefit. It provides access to a new vehicle with predictable monthly costs while removing many of the unexpected expenses associated with motoring. Employees benefit from the reassurance of a fully maintained car, while employers can offer a highly valued benefit without the complexity of managing a company car fleet.
For employers, Tusker's scheme is free to implement and administer. We work closely with all of our customers to design a scheme that reflects their objectives, workforce and policies. Whether an organisation wants to encourage electric vehicle adoption, broaden employee benefits, support recruitment and retention, or contribute towards environmental goals, Tusker provides a tailored solution rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Employers can decide which vehicle types to include within their scheme, offering anything from fully electric vehicles through to plug-in hybrids, hybrids and petrol or diesel vehicles. This flexibility allows organisations to develop a scheme that aligns with their operational requirements and wider business strategy while giving employees meaningful choice.
One of the key attractions of salary sacrifice is its role in accelerating the transition to electric vehicles. Thanks to favourable Benefit in Kind taxation, electric vehicles are often the most affordable option through salary sacrifice, enabling employees to access models that may otherwise be beyond their reach. As a result, many organisations have used the scheme as an effective way to support their decarbonisation ambitions while helping employees embrace cleaner transport.
Tusker has been at the forefront of this transition for many years and has played a significant role in helping thousands of drivers make the move to electric vehicles. Beyond simply supplying vehicles, the company provides expert guidance on electric vehicle adoption, charging, infrastructure and driver education, helping employees feel confident throughout their journey.
Sustainability is embedded throughout Tusker's business. For more than a decade, we have offset the tailpipe emissions of every car placed on the road. As electric vehicle adoption has increased, Tusker has evolved its approach and now also offsets emissions associated with charging electric vehicles, further strengthening its commitment to reducing environmental impact. These initiatives help employers demonstrate meaningful progress towards their sustainability objectives while supporting employees in making lower-emission travel choices.
Exceptional customer service is another cornerstone of the Tusker proposition. From the moment an employee begins researching vehicles through to delivery and ongoing support throughout the lease, Tusker aims to provide a straightforward, transparent and enjoyable experience. Dedicated customer support teams work closely with drivers to answer questions, manage vehicle orders and provide assistance throughout the life of the agreement.
Tusker also works in partnership with all of the UK's leading employee benefits providers, making it easy for employers to integrate the scheme into their existing benefits platforms. This collaborative approach ensures a seamless experience for both employers and employees while enabling organisations to maximise engagement with one of the most valued benefits available today.
Innovation continues to shape the way Tusker develops its services. Tusker continually invests in digital tools, reporting capabilities and employee communications to help organisations launch, manage and promote successful salary sacrifice schemes. Educational resources, webinars, guides and marketing support ensure employees fully understand the benefits available to them, helping employers achieve strong participation rates.
As part of Lloyds Banking Group, Tusker combines the agility and specialist expertise of a market-leading provider with the strength, stability and backing of one of the UK's largest financial institutions. This gives customers confidence that they are working with an established, trusted partner committed to long-term success.
Whether an organisation's priority is attracting and retaining talent, supporting employee financial wellbeing, accelerating fleet electrification, reducing carbon emissions or enhancing its overall employee value proposition, Tusker delivers a proven solution that benefits both employers and employees.
With nearly two decades of experience, millions of eligible employees, a market-leading salary sacrifice scheme and an unwavering commitment to customer service, innovation and sustainability, Tusker continues to lead the way in helping UK organisations deliver one of the country's most valued employee benefits.
