Lease Return Service

One of the reasons people get charged is that despite their best efforts to inspect their cars themselves, the Fair Wear & Tear guidelines are complex and chargeable damage isn't always easy to spot. The result is they send their car back confident that they will not get recharges because they are within their threshold -- it can be one missed half-inch dent that is the difference between paying nothing and a bill for £500.

The lease company's inspectors will do a 182 point check, that's roughly twice as many checks as on an MOT. If there is damage on your car, and it's certain there will be, they will find it even if you don't.

Take back control!

What are the most annoying things about returning a lease car? Is it knowing that once you hand the car back, it's too late to address any damage that you might be charged for? Is it having the penalty recharges hanging over your head for weeks or months until the bill lands on your door-mat?

Maybe you have got wise to this situation and in order to avoid all this you now prepare your car for return... in which case you have been trying to figure out exactly what constitutes 'Fair Wear & Tear'. and what damage would be cost-effective to repair; in which case you are running around trying to organize the work to be done.

We take all the effort out of returning your leased or contract hired car. Just bring the car to us in good time, our BVRLA trained inspectors will advise you which repairs are economically viable and will save you money. As an example, see our case study.
