THE essential guide to the state of leased vehicle return has been updated by the BVRLA.
Called the Fair Wear and Tear Standard for Cars, the BVRLA says that this update reflects the latest technologies and driver habits and has been compiled with input auction houses and common issues handled through the association’s Alternative Dispute Resolution service.
One of the key changes for SME fleets is the requirement for an electric car to have a full charge at the point of collection when it comes to the end of lease.
Other updates give greater clarity on tyre and wheel condition, in-vehicle documentation, and the presence of charging cables where appropriate.
Our Fair Wear and Tear Standard is the essential textbook and primer for anyone involved in vehicle returns. The new Standard for cars sets out in black and white what is expected of a driver from the moment they accept delivery of the vehicle.
The industry-wide adoption of the BVRLA Standard gives drivers, fleet operators and vehicle providers consistency, meaning that any end-of-contract charges relating to vehicle condition are fair, transparent, and indisputable.
