It's important that you start preparing your leased car a few months before you need to return your leased car. You may have damage to the car that needs to be repaired or you may need to have your car thoroughly cleaned before you return your leased car.
Here are the most important points you need to be aware of when returning your leased car:
It can be beneficial to book a return appointment 1-2 months in advance. Typically, a lease period lasts until the end of the month, so most people want to book a return appointment as late in the month as possible so they can drive the car for as long as possible.
Read your lease contract carefully so you know what you need to be aware of when returning the lease car.
If your leased car has sustained a damage or two, it's important that you get these repaired before you return the car.
It can be a good idea to have a professional inspection of your leased car before returning it. A pre-delivery inspection will give you an overview of what damage your leased car has and what needs to be repaired before handover.
A lease inspection with an independent provider can be a great advantage, as you'll typically be offered damage repairs at a much lower price than with your leasing company.
The leased car must be thoroughly cleaned inside and out before you return it so that it appears in as good a condition as possible.
The cabin and trunk must be cleared and cleaned. In addition, all belongings must be removed from the car (remember storage pockets in the doors, glove compartment and the space under the floor in the trunk).
It's important that you remove all digital traces from the car, including Bluetooth connectivity, and reset the car's setup.
That way, the car will be reset and ready for a new owner.
The most common damages to a leased car that you'll end up paying to have repaired when your lease ends are:
If you don't repair the damage yourself, the leasing company will send your car to an independent repair shop, and in most cases the repair bill will be higher than if you had the repairs done beforehand.
Remember that you can always get an inspection of your leased car at Repair2Care. We will inspect your car for any cosmetic damage and provide you with a non-binding quote for repairs.
We always guarantee that the repair will be approved by the leasing company - and if this is not the case, you'll get your money back for the repair.
