Step 2 - Preparing yourself and your car
Get it all together
You will need to return your car AND EVERYTHING that came with
the car, so you will need to collect together all the documents
(service history, manual and log book if you were issued with
it), master key/card, and any bits-and-bobs which you might have
removed from the car which belong with it. more»
Some lease companies will provide a list of their charges upon
request, if you can get one of these, please bring it with you.
Get it clean
Your car needs to be clean when it is returned under the terms
of your lease. But it also needs to be cleaned properly for us
to be able to inspect it properly which is why we have built
our 'Lease
Return Valet' into this service which will get in clean enough
for us to be able to do a thorough inspection. This is enough to
bring the majority of cars up to a reasonable standard for return,
but it is a fairly basic valet and doesn't allow us lots of time,
so please remove all your personal possessions from the car, including
any rubbish that may have accumulated. If your car is especially
dirty there are other services you can choose from our normal valet
menu to deal with stains, odours etc.
Or you may wish to have a go at doing the worst of the inside
yourself! D.I.Y.

Know your stuff
 The
drivers who tend to get most upset by recharges are those who
thought they had fixed everything, but missed something like
a dent on a sill or a rusting stone chip. If you feel confident
that you would be able to inspect the car yourself, then you
can do it using the same inspection sheet that we use - you
can download it here. With that done, you can bring your
car and the inspection sheet to us and we will advise you on
what needs to be done... you can also send
us photos via our Q&A.
If you have 3 or more areas
of damage we will almost certainly be able to save you money.
