What happens at the end of a car lease? You have some deciding to do! Obviously, we’d love for you to renew for more zen times, but you also have the choice to walk away and call it a day.

You have 3 options:

  1. Renew
  2. End Lease
  3. Extend

Have a read of what happens at the end of a car lease below and then let us know what you’d like to do on this short form.

 

Renew – get some new wheels

Loved the zen way of life? Stick around to enjoy:

  • No processing fee on your new car – renewal customers make an exclusive saving of £99 on new cars or £199 on used ones.
  • A super smooth swap over – we’ll collect your old car when we deliver your new one, you won’t have to move at all! *
  • The usual goodies: free mainland GB delivery; road tax; breakdown cover and the manufacturer’s warranty thrown in.

If you’re ready for another hassle-free lease and some shiny new wheels, simply choose renew on this short form.

If you’re looking to go bigger, techier or electric-er (just go with it), our New Car Consultants are on hand to give you some steer. You can reach them via email [email protected], give them a ring on 0113 468 5377 or catch them on Live Chat.

 

End lease – return my car

So, how’s the breakup work?

Tell us that you’d like to return the car on this form.

Once your final direct debit has been taken, we’ll email you to start the collection process. Or you can reach out to us with the best date for you. Find out about the whole process of what happens at the end of a car lease over on our handy Car Collection page.

Then we’ll spend the next few weeks trying to get over the heartbreak *reaches for the ice cream and plays sad songs on repeat*.

On a more serious note, please be on time with handing your car back. If it ends up being late, you’ll be charged a daily pro rata rate until the car is back with us.

You’ll be invoiced any late/damage/additional mileage charges after the collection of your car.

 

Extend lease – keep my car a little longer

Can I buy my car at end of lease? We offer PCH which means this option isn’t available at the end of your lease but if you’re not ready to say goodbye to your wheels just yet, you might still be able to keep your car for a bit longer

In some circumstances it may be possible for you to extend your lease beyond the original end date. If you want to apply for an extension, then be sure to contact us well in advance of your lease ending. Just reach out to our New Car Consultants on 0113 468 5377 (option 1) or drop them an email [email protected].

But don’t worry, we’ll be in touch to remind you about your end of lease options well before your contract ends, so you’ll have plenty of time to decide your next steps!

 

What will it be?

So, there you have it, all your options as you reach the end of your lease.

If you’re struggling to decide and could do with some expert advice, you can reach our friendly New Car Consultants on 0113 468 5377 (option 1) or email [email protected].
