Lease Return Repairs in Surrey

Avoid unnecessary lease return charges

When returning a leased vehicle, most agreements allow for fair wear and tear. This typically includes minor paint scuffs under 25mm, light interior stains, and small dents from normal use.

However, damage beyond this, such as deep scratches, larger dents, or cracked glass, may incur additional charges during the lease return inspection. It is often more cost-effective to repair these issues with an independent specialist before returning the vehicle.

Before inspection, clean the vehicle thoroughly inside and out, and arrange any repairs well in advance of the return date to avoid rushed or expensive last-minute fixes. If damage is left unresolved, leasing companies may carry out the repairs themselves at inflated rates.

It is also worth checking your lease agreement to see whether any additional damage cover is included.
