Executive Allowance Bonus
Executive Allowance Bonus (EAB) - first offered by Mercedes-Benz - is an enhancement to the Fleet Program. Available exclusively to executives, managers, and sales representatives with individual vehicle allowances, EAB provides significant incentives on eligible purchased or leased Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
Program Overview
The EAB enhancement is yet another reason for your company executive(s) to choose a Mercedes-Benz. Every Mercedes-Benz vehicle includes the following features:
- Four-year, 50,000-mile limited warranty period
- Standard features that other manufacturers may offer only as options — or not at all
- A full complement of active and passive safety features, as well as clean-diesel technology
- 24-hour Roadside Assistance for the life of the vehicle
- A customer service experience unparalleled in the industry
Eligible Mercedes-Benz Vehicles
The majority of Mercedes-Benz models qualify for incentives.
Qualifying for the Executive Allowance Bonus
In order to qualify for participation in the Executive Allowance Bonus, your company must meet the following requirements:
A) Your company is currently enrolled in the Mercedes-Benz Fleet Program and has an assigned Corporate Account Number (CAN).
B) Your company has employees who receive a vehicle allowance as part of their compensation package that applies to the individual purchase/lease of a company vehicle. To qualify for EAB, the applicant must submit the following documentation:
- An Executive Allowance Bonus Enrollment Form signed by the executive
- A photo Driver's License
- One example of employment documentation (employment documentation can be in the form of a copy of current pay stub or direct deposit slip indicating car allowance or Corporate website verification identifying the applicant as a company executive)
IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to protect the privacy of the EAB applicant, the social security number and salary information should be deleted (white out) from the pay stub/direct deposit copy (or equivalent). The vehicle allowance compensation should be highlighted on the pay stub/direct deposit copy if listed as supplemental income.

Most of the models in the Mercedes-Benz product line are eligible for incentives under the Mercedes-Benz Fleet Program.
