LeasePlan takes a unique approach to wear and tear in order to ensure any charges related to damage on vehicles at the end of contract are fair, clear, unbiased and reasonable

In order to help us fulfil this, we utilise our own Fair Wear & Tear guides which are fully aligned to the BVRLA's code of conduct. The car and van guides provide a clear indication of what is deemed 'fair wear and tear' and can be downloaded free of charge at http://www.leaseplan.co.uk/public/en_GB/index.jsp?id=menu5190298.

To ensure independent assessment, we employ SGS, the world's leading inspection company, to undertake all our damage assessments. We also accept that higher mileage vehicles are susceptible to greater levels of wear and tear and consequently operate a damage recharge discount model. It ensures that any damage recharging takes into account the miles travelled.

This approach offers a vehicle return policy aimed at keeping damage recharges fair for all parties. If you’d like to know more, please speak with your LeasePlan Account Team.
