Introduction
What are recharges? |
|||||||||||||||||||
Most inspectors work from the guidelines provided
by the BVRLA (British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association) in their
Fair Wear & Tear Guide. If you haven't already received one of these
guides, we strongly recommend that you purchase one HERE
or pop in to Clean Image. |

The guide provides information as to what is and what is not acceptable with full descriptions, photos and even a handy check list for appraising your vehicle before return. Keep this guide in your glove compartment and use it to check your car should you incur any damage, The Fair Wear & Tear Guide guide will tell you if you are likely to incur a penalty, this online guide will tell you what to do about it.
Although many penalty charges are for excessive mileage, often the penalties are for damage which can be easily rectified at a fraction of the cost. For example, if you have a small scuff on your bumper, you could be charged the full price of a bodyshop repair which may involve replacing and repainting the whole bumper. However, a Smart Repair technician can repair just the damaged area which obviously costs less money. Even if your car has damage which needs a full bodyshop repair, it is often cheaper to have the work done yourself than pay the penalty recharges which will cover the lease company's administration costs for the repair. But of course the best option is to try to avoid damaging your car in the first place! With just a little effort you can avoid most of the risks and save yourself trouble when you return your lease car. |
