End of Lease Returns

Our End of Lease inspection equips you with comprehensive knowledge, aiding in informed decisions and preventing unforeseen expenses.

Upon completion of the Lease or PCP contract term, the return of your vehicle to the leasing company is mandatory. The vehicle undergoes assessment to ascertain whether it adheres to the agreed-upon return condition, subject to the criteria of “Fair Wear & Tear.”

Prior to the vehicle’s scheduled return, consider the following steps:

  • Understanding the standard: Request a copy of the industry standard from your leasing company or verify its availability. (You might have already received this.)
  • Vehicle appraisal: Conduct an evaluation to identify any damages that fall outside the realm of “Fair Wear & Tear,” necessitating repair.
  • Initiate the vehicle appraisal approximately four weeks before the return date. This timeline allows for adequate arrangements to rectify any unacceptable wear and tear.

Many individuals incur charges for damages they were unaware of when returning their leased vehicle. Avoid the risk of an unexpected bill. Excessive wear and tear that exceeds the “Fair Wear & Tear” Clause can lead to additional costs. It’s essential to note that for each instance of excessive wear and tear, there will be associated charges. These costs encompass not only vehicle repairs but also expenses incurred by the lease company.
