When your contract is over, it’s time to say goodbye to your car. Follow the tips below to make the process as worry-free as possible.
Worry-free returns in just a few steps
- Preparing for return
- Make sure the car is clean and remove all your personal belongings.
- Gather everything that originally came with the car (like keys, official documents, manuals and accessories) and make sure they are in the car when returning it.
- All tires, chargers, visual protection/hat rack must be returned. Please note that all tires should physically be in the car (and not in a storage place) when returning the car.
- If the car has any damage, report it via MyLeasePlan and make sure that it is repaired before you return the car.
- Cancel your fuel card (if necessary).
- Returning your LeasePlan car
The most common way to return your car is by delivering it to the dealer who will deliver your new car. In some cases, the new car is delivered to you by transport. If this is the case, it's important that you contact us to receive information on how to handle the return of your existing car.
If you're returning a car without picking up a new one, you can either return the car to the nearest brand dealer or arrange for the car to be picked up at a location agreed upon with us. Note that brand dealers are not obligated to accept your car. Therefore, always check well in advance.
If you're unsure about the process, feel free to contact us. It's crucial that you fill out and submit the "LeasePlan Car Return" form when returning your car. You can find the form on MyLeasePlan.
- Final inspection to check your car’s condition
After you return your car, an independent party will perform a final inspection. A few scuffs and scratches are just a part of daily use. But for more serious damage, there may be an additional charge.

Need to return your vehicle before end of contract?
Start with talking to your employer. If nothing is stipulated in the Master Lease Agreement, your employer might have signed up for an Early Termination Insurance. If you have insurance coverage in place, please fill in the attached form and send it to us. After that, we will get back to you with further information.
Please feel free to contact us for General Insurance Terms & Conditions or in case of any questions.
- Tip!
Report damage as soon as it occurs. And schedule repairs right away. It’s the best way to avoid end-of-contract charges.
