Vanaways

End of Contract

Everything you need to know about taking care of your lease vehicle.

At the end of the leasing period, the vehicle is simply returned, checked over and payments cease, leaving you free to lease another car.

In the lead-up to the end of your lease, we recommend you take the following steps to ensure that your vehicle is in excellent condition for when it is returned to your finance company.

Re-read the BVRLA’s Fair Wear and Tear Guidelines along with those of your finance company and give yourself enough time to act on and repair anything that requires attention.

Gather together any necessary documentation required for hand-back, these could include:

  • All sets of keys
  • The service book
  • A copy of the MOT record (if applicable)
  • The operation manual

The assessor will note the condition of the car and the mileage and you will be asked to sign a returns form and a copy will be given to you to keep.

You may be liable to pay some degree of fine if there is damage beyond what is considered reasonable so it is worth investing time and due care in the maintenance of your leased vehicle. Similarly, should you drive over the agreed mileage limit an excess mileage fee (charged per mile) will be charged as outlined in your agreement.

"We have used Vanaways on two occasions now and the customer service has always been great. I contacted them as our team grew and withing 2 weeks we had the vans in our yard. Quick and efficient service all round. Tyler in the delivery department kept me up to date throughout the process. Would certainly recommend."

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."

"Staff here are so courteous & helpful, genuine in how they talk rather than that dreaded ‘business speak’. Reception and offices are modern & relaxing to be in, very cool music in background too! Some place just give you the basics - but I found Vanaways completely charming throughout, really appreciated thank you."
