If you are entering into a car leasing contract you will need to maintain your vehicle in line with manufacturers guidelines.
For a fixed monthly fee vehicle maintenance can be included in your lease contract. It covers all routine servicing, maintenance and wear and tear with a fixed monthly rental. This spreads out motoring costs into manageable chunks, so there is never a large bill to contend with. The cost will vary due to the type of vehicle, length of lease and the mileage covered.
Key Benefits of a Maintenance Contract
- Fixed Monthly Cost
- No unexpected maintenance costs
- Accredited Garages
- VAT Recoverable
What does it include?
Each leasing company have specific terms that also apply but as a general rule each will include the following:

- Replacement of wear and tear items including; wipers, bulbs, batteries, exhausts, and brakes.
