Lease Return Inspection
Leasing a vehicle offers great flexibility and the thrill of driving a new car every few years, without a long-term commitment. However, as the lease end approaches, it is crucial to understand your obligations under the terms of your lease agreement to avoid unexpected charges.
Leasing providers typically assess your vehicle against The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association’s (BVRLA) Fair Wear and Tear Policy. The policy outlines what is considered as acceptable and inevitable wear and tear on a leased vehicle. However, it also states that in cases of excessive wear and tear or significant damage, the lessee is liable for covering the cost of repairing such damage.

What is the “wear and tear” policy?
It outlines what is considered acceptable wear and tear on a vehicle versus what is considered excessive or chargeable damage at the end of the lease term. While specific terms can vary by leasing company, common types of damage that are typically not covered, include: deep scratches, large dents, large cracks and chips and significant damage to alloy wheels.
