Other benefits in detail

Free Climate Smart Home Service
with every Eco Smart Car Loan, Queensland Country will supply you with a free Climate Smart Home Service. This service normally costs $50 but is valued at $450. Taking advantage of this Climate Smart Home Service may save you roughly $250 a year on energy and water bills. In addition to you benefiting from reduced energy bills, the biggest benefits will be felt by the environment as this service can save a total of 20.4 tonnes of greenhouse gases - the equivalent to taking a car off the road for 4 years. This offer is valid for as long as the Climate Smart Home Service is provided by the Government.
Discount on Car Insurance
When you apply for an Eco Smart Car Loan, we will provide a 5% discount on car insurance taken out with us for the first 12 months of any new policy.
