Hi there,

I am seeking some advice and opinions from people with experience of Personal Car Leasing.

I have been looking into this for quite a few weeks now, and as you can imagine there are some very tempting offers as we need to look into getting a larger car with our expanding family.

The main two companies that I have narrowed my search down to are Gateway2lease and Intelligent Car Leasing.

Service provided so far has been great, and all reviews on trust pilot etc are very favourable, however this is all based on taking delivery of the car etc. I am more concerned about the other end of the agreement when the car needs to be returned!

Understand that firms adhere to the BVRLA standard, however upon reading this does seem very open to interpretation and my main worry is getting hit with extortionate charges at the end of the agreement for things which could be borderline?

Obviously major dents and scrapes need to be fixed and the car needs to be properly maintained which is not a problem, but does anyone have any experience with these companies or any other similar companies with regards to the return of personal lease vehicles?

Looking at 48 month contract and the inevitable little stone chip and scrape here or there I would expect to be accepted, but is it easy to get caught out with major fee’s on this kind of thing? Where do you stand if they hit you with a lot of charges?

The car I am looking at has a 5 year warranty so is a 4 year lease risky or not?

Many thanks
