SET Color 24 Lease Return

When you rent a car for a fixed amount rather than buying it, this is called leasing the vehicle. On the other hand, when you return that vehicle to the leasing company, this is known as lease return. It is far more difficult to return the car compared to leasing it. Why so? That’s because the lease return involves taking several steps. For this reason, anyone renting a vehicle must have knowledge of lease return policies. 

Preparing for the End of Your Lease

You can’t just go to the leasing company at any time and say you want to return the car. To end your lease, you must first inform the company. The leasing company will have policies related to how early you need to inform them about ending the lease. Companies like SET Color 24 also help you through the leasing process. 

Steps for the End of Your Lease

You need to follow certain steps to successfully end your car lease. 

Schedule Pre-Inspection of Your Vehicle

First, you need to schedule a third-party inspection of your car. You can schedule it as per your convenience, wherever and whenever you want. 

Review Pre-Inspection Results

Review the results after the inspection is done, and then repair excess wear that occurred during the leasing period to avoid charges. 

Return You Vehicle

Next, you should contact the leasing company to schedule a day and time to return the rented vehicle. 

Lease End Statement

You will receive your final lease-end statement via email, including any charges incurred for mileage overages and/or excess wear once you return the vehicle to the leasing company. 

Assess the Condition of Your Vehicle

Before you get your car inspected, it’s a better idea to assess it yourself and make necessary repairs. This will help keep the third-party car inspection process as streamlined as possible. 

The Credit Card Test

How to know if you will be charged for minor scratches on your leased car? Use the Credit Card Test for this. If the car’s exterior damage can’t be seen when a standard-size credit card is placed over it, you can be worry-free about getting charged. 

Vehicle Conditions that Result in Charges

There are certain conditions that result in charges for your leased vehicle. 

• Cracks, holes, tears, gauges, or cuts on the bumper.

• Dents are visible even after you place your credit card over it.

• Scratches through the paint that are larger than your credit card.

• The sixth and each subsequent scratch through the paint per panel.

• Tears, cuts, burns, and holes inside the car.

• Damaged safety items, like torn seat belts.

• Glass or lights with cracks, holes, or plugs.

• Collective damage caused by a single event, like hail damage.
