At the end of your contract, it's time to say goodbye to your leased car. Follow the guidelines below to make the process as smooth as possible and avoid additional costs.

After years of faithful service, your leased car will almost inevitably show visible signs of wear and tear in the form of small scratches and/or dents.

But if you notice damage that doesn't fall into this category, report it to your insurer before you turn the car in.

•  Keep the following documents handy in your glove compartment:
  • registration certificate
  • certificate of conformity
  • roadworthiness certificate (if applicable)

• Take all your personal belongings out of the vehicle.
• Make sure the vehicle is clean.
• Make sure all keys, documents (registration certificate, certificate of conformity, green insurance card) and accessories are in the car.
• When you return the car, make sure that the battery capacity is at least 60% or 250 km, or that there is a minimum amount of fuel left in the tank.
• Destroy your LeasePlan fuel or top-up card
• Return all accessories supplied with your vehicle.

The car can be collected from the dealership where you take delivery of your new leased car.

The dealer will check the condition of the vehicle with you and ensure that all documents, keys and vehicle accessories are present. To do this, use the “Car Check Document” which you'll find in the on-board documents. As soon as we collect the vehicle, an independent party will carry out a final check.

A report on the return of the vehicle will be drawn up and signed by the driver and the expert.
