The Challenge
DCS were exploring electric vehicle salary sacrifice as part of their wider employee benefits offering. Rob, Chief Customer Officer at DCS, was interested in a Porsche Macan 4S through
the scheme.
The challenge was making it work in a way that felt tax efficient and affordable, while still keeping the process simple for both Rob and the business.
It also needed to be easy to introduce internally, with no cost to the business and minimal impact on payroll processes.
Why they chose EZOO
Rob wanted a straightforward service and a process that felt personal from the start. EZOO stood out because the process felt clear and supported. There was direct communication throughout and support on both the employee and employer side.
“It was important that we could source the car locally for me,” Rob explains. “I didn’t want to be waiting forever or dealing with a faceless company that didn’t understand what I needed.”

How the Scheme Was Introduced
First contact & 11 quotes
Rob first contacted EZOO in March 2024. Over the first two weeks, EZOO produced 11 different quotes, refining the options to make sure everything was tailored correctly for Rob and the vehicle he wanted.
DCS registered — scheme ready to go live
Rob then introduced the scheme internally at DCS. The process was straightforward and free for the business. By April 2024, DCS was registered, and the scheme was ready to go live.
Porsche Macan ordered
Rob ordered his brand new Porsche Macan on 20th August 2024. The vehicle was brand new, in high demand, and had a 9 month lead time. Despite this, EZOO were determined to get the car delivered before Christmas.
Delivered ahead of schedule
With 40 years of experience in the industry guiding the process, we managed the timeline closely and kept everything on track. In November 2024, the car was delivered to Rob ahead of scheduled.

Porsche Macan worth ~£82,000
Rob is now driving a brand new Porsche Macan worth around £82,000 through the salary sacrifice scheme.
~£650 per month, all-in
The total monthly cost is approximately £650 per month, and includes insurance, breakdown cover, servicing, and road tax.
Delivered ahead of schedule
Despite a 9-month lead time on a high-demand vehicle, the car was delivered to Rob before Christmas — ahead of schedule.
"Paying roughly £650 per month for everything – insurance, breakdown, the lot – it just makes sense. I got the car I wanted, with all the extras, and I'm saving compared to what I would have paid privately."
— Rob McLeod, Chief Customer Officer, DCS
It's a no-brainer if your employer offers it. You get a great car, save money, and the whole process is managed for you. I couldn't be happier.
