Return Vehicle Form

The return form is crafted to streamline and simplify the process for both Drivers and Fleet managers.

IMPORTANT! Transport arrangements are made according to the specified return date. Pickup lead time is 10 - 15 business days. While we cannot provide an exact pickup date and time, you will be contacted 1 - 2 days in advance. Please ensure any fuel cards for the vehicle are cut on the same day as the return.

Important to note before returning:

The car must be returned in the condition specified in the agreement; otherwise, the lessee will be liable for compensation. Examples of what is considered normal and abnormal wear and tear can be found in the Return Guide.

Damages that are not classified as normal wear and tear must be repaired and reported to the respective insurance company.

If the damage cannot be repaired before the return, it must still be reported to the insurance company, and the claim number must be included in the return form.

For detailed information on how to file a damage report, see Driver Services - In Case of an Accident.

How to return my car:

You should return your car to the dealer delivering your new car. If your new car is delivered directly to you, please inform us so we can arrange the return of your existing car.

If you do not plan to pick up a new car and only need to return an existing one, you can return it to the nearest authorized dealer. Please check with the dealer first to ensure they accept returns, as this is not always the case.

Alternatively, the car can be placed in an agreed-upon secure location where it is fenced or locked until it is picked up. If none of these return options work for you, please contact us at eol@santanderleasing.se.

Inspection Process

After the vehicle is returned, an inspection is carried out by an independent party. The technician assesses the vehicle's condition, distinguishing between normal wear and tear and damages that may result in charges to the lessee. An inspection report is prepared, documenting any damages.

The inspection also considers normal wear and tear, such as minor marks and scratches. Wear and tear deemed abnormal, however, affects the car's value and will be charged accordingly.

If repairs are necessary, they are carried out cost-effectively, taking into account the car's age and mileage.

Examples of Damages That Should Be Repaired:

  • Scratches: Changes in the paint where the scratch is deep enough to feel with a fingernail and does not disappear with polishing.
  • Dents: Changes in the car's metal parts.
  • Other Damages: Damages caused by aftermarket equipment, stone chips, cracked windows, damaged trim, interior damage, scuffed rims, and similar issues.
