We can then send this over to the finance company upon completion so they can make a credit decision.

However, we’re more than happy to help you out with this.

  • I’ve got a fine, what happens with this?

    Usually, since the lease is registered to a specific finance company they will pay the bill. However, they will then invoice you for any fees plus any administration charges.

  • Do I need to service my lease vehicle?

    You will only need to service your car/van if it is due a scheduled service before the return of the vehicle. If your vehicle is showing it requires service after your vehicle has been collected you may be charged for this.

  • I’ve damaged my vehicle, what do I do?

    If the damage falls outside of the fair wear and tear guide, you must get the damage repaired before the vehicle goes back at the end of the agreement. Failing to do so may incur you extra charges.

  • What happens at the end of my contract?

    A few months before your vehicle is due to end, the finance company will send out a guide with a few timescales on it in order to prepare you. Our team will also be in touch to help source you a new vehicle in time for your vehicle being returned. You don’t need to worry about selling the vehicle on as we do all the work for you.
