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 copy of the EAB applicant's pay stub/direct deposit record slip
- OR -
- A photo ID and one (1) example of employment documentation (employment documentation can be in the form of a corporate resolution, Articles of Incorporation, or corporate website)
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.

How to Participate in the Executive Allowance Bonus Program.
Once a company is enrolled in the Fleet Program, eligible executives can take advantage of the Executive Allowance Bonus (EAB) program.
Obtain a Control Number
To take advantage of EAB incentives, executives will need to obtain an EAB Incentive Form with an assigned control number. Executives will be required to present this form at their Mercedes-Benz Dealership. To obtain an EAB Incentive Form with an assigned Control Number, executives should follow the EAB enrollment instructions (See below for: ?How to Enroll?).
- Note, only ONE Control Number per applicant may be obtained per calendar year.
- The vehicle must be new/unused.
- Fleet incentives cannot be used in conjunction with Dealer Employee Purchase Program (DEPP), Mercedes Vehicle Plan (MVP), Master Lease Program (MLP), Diplomat, European Delivery, Customer Loaner Plan (CLP), Special Demos or non-U.S. specification vehicles.
