Swap a car lease or van leasing

swap a car lease or swap a van lease
If you have entered into a long-term vehicle leasing arrangement for your car or van there may come a time when you no longer require the vehicle but you may have several months (or years) of your contract to run. Or a driver may have left the business, the new employee doesn't want to drive the previous employee vehicle, so the old car needs to go. And, you may need to order a new vehicle on lease for the new driver.

If you send the car or van back to the lease company before the contract end you will be liable for an early termination charge and perhaps excess mileage and fair wear and tear (damage) on the vehicle as well.

It would be much easier to swap a car lease or swap a van lease to another business or private individual as this avoids paying an early termination fee. The two companies agree a date when the lease is to be transferred (assigned) and who is making the payments while the transfer is going on with the lease company. Don't forget to ensure the car or van is insured at all times and the relevant parties know who has the responsibility for this.

There also has to be agreement on who has the liability for any excess mileage if this is stipulated on the lease agreement, and finally who has the liability for any damage to vehicle (fair wear and tear). At the end of the contract if there is big dent on the bumper for example, the lease company will send the leaseholder a bill for refurbishment, or for the amount they think the vehicle resale value will be reduced by, as a result of the damage.

Taking all of the above into account if you decide to swap a car lease or swap a van lease, it can be a smooth process.
