Bikeleasing: company bike leasing

now available in Austria

Good news for employees and employers in Austria: Bikeleasing is now also open for business in Austria! As one of the large and established company bicycle providers in Germany, Bikelasing strives to encourage even more employees to use the eco-friendly and healthy alternative for their commute to work instead of a company car, what can also make a major contribution to a sustainable traffic and transportation concept.

When Bikeleasing provides employees in Austria with the opportunity to lease their dream (e-)bike at highly attractive conditions, all parties involved enjoy reliable protection from ERGO and Merkur, our strong insurance partners, the result is a win-win situation.

Bike leasing in Austria – what terms and conditions apply?

Due to the tax reform that came into force in 2020, the terms and conditions for the company bike model in Austria are generally similar to those in Germany. When it comes to applying these terms and conditions, there are various ways for companies in Austria to take advantage of the benefits of company bicycles and provide them to their employees. These include salary conversion, in which the employer withholds a portion of the employee’s monthly salary for the lease payments, thus granting the employee a tax benefit, or additional pay as a perk, in which case the employer will make the lease payments.

What benefits does Bikeleasing-Service company bike leasing provide in Austria?

Benefits to employers:

For employers, Bikeleasing provides a key benefit in helping to attract and retain skilled staff – which translates into a competitive advantage. With our unique, fully comprehensive Employer Indemnity Insurance (AGAV), the employer bears no risk. Our bike leasing model is completely free of charge, involves little effort and has no impact on cash flow. The bikes are not included in fixed assets and therefore do not need to be depreciated. In addition to the tax benefits, employers also benefit from healthier employees and contribute to the sustainability of their business.

Benefits to employees:

Bikeleasing enables employees to finance a bicycle or e-bike at terms and conditions more favorable than those of a private purchase. Due to the applicable tax benefits, savings of up to 36% are not uncommon. In addition, all accessories permanently attached to the bike can be included in the lease. The bicycle can be used both for commuting to work and for private purposes. At the end of the lease term, the bicycle can either be taken over or exchanged for a new bicycle. Thanks to our premium insurance, the employee is optimally covered for (parts) theft, accidental damage, fall damage, vandalism and much more during the term of the lease. Since this insurance is automatically included in every lease, there is no need to take out separate or additional insurance.

Benefits to dealers:

Dealers benefit considerably from the Bikeleasing offering. The entire Bikeleasing service is free of charge. Dealers receive 100% of the sales price; no commission payments are incurred. Dealers can expect an increase in revenue because they are able to focus on customers, are included in the Bikeleasing list of partner dealerships and they can sell high-quality bikes. Dealers are entitled to lease out their demonstration, rental and test bikes – complete with comprehensive insurance coverage.

Palas provides important measurement data regarding the volcanic eruption on La Palma

Nächtlicher Vulkanausbruch über La Palma, Einsatzort für Messungen der Tochterfirma Palas

Our subsidiary Palas reports on their work on the volcanic island of La Palma.

A summary can be found on the new MyAtmosphere website of Palas:
A short resumee from our trip to La Palma – My Atmosphere

It was an exciting trip. Starting with the arrival on La Palma, because some colleagues had to make the detour via Tenerife. The airport was closed because of ash.
We got to know many sides of La Palma. In some areas we did not even notice the volcano, did not see it, did not feel any effects. Everything felt normal.
In other areas we always had the volcano in view – smoking and spitting. Streets, roofs and cars were covered with black ash. Containers full of ash stood on the side of the road. One night an earthquake woke us up.
But overall we are very satisfied: The installation of the AQ Guard Smart went smoothly – thanks to a great team that worked together excellently. Immediately, we were able to view the measurement data via the MyAtmosphere data platform and get initial insights.
Unfortunately, the journey home was adventurous. Again, we had to switch to Tenerife airport because of ash haze. So we took the ferry, then the alternative flight to Frankfurt and on Saturday evening we were all back home safe and sound.
More about the measured values and our assessment of the air quality on site will be available soon
