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.

"I’m extremely happy with my new Renault Master. The whole process was smooth and professional, with excellent communication throughout. The team was helpful, friendly and kept me updated at every stage. The van arrived in great condition, exactly as expected. I would highly recommend their services. Thank you again!"

"There is not much one can say about dealing with Vanaways, other than what a wonderful experience it has been from the beginning to the delivery of my new van. Dealing with Torin was simple; I just said what type of van I required and the budget I had, and he matched exactly what I required, under budget. After my order was placed, I was passed to Yasmin to keep me informed of when my van was due for delivery. Yasmin was amazing at her job, letting me know the progress of the van and when the extras I had ordered were to be fitted before delivery to me. Totally 5-star service, and I know where I'm buying my next van from. Alistair Patterson"

"VWS Limited recently leased three vans through Vanaways, and we could not fault the service we received. Rod in Sales and Ash in Delivery were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made every aspect of arranging the leases straightforward and kept us informed every step of the way. We are delighted with our new vehicles and would have no hesitation in recommending Vanaways to anyone looking for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused vehicle leasing service.
