Lease return, well prepared: your car at its best
When you hand back a leased car, the overall impression counts. Our Premium package gives your car a thorough treatment inside and out, so it goes to the inspection looking as well cared for as possible.
Lease return preparation
When the return date gets closer and you are not sure how your car will come across.
Signs of use you barely notice in daily life catch an assessor's eye straight away. As the appointment approaches, so does the uncertainty about whether your car will make a well-kept impression.
- Soiled seats, pet hair or stains from several years of use.
- Dull paint and wash marks that stand out during the inspection.
- Little time to take care of everything yourself before the appointment.
- The worry that the first impression will be worse than it needs to be.
How it feels afterwards
Well kept and well prepared for the return.
Your car goes to the inspection clean inside and out and as well kept as possible. You drive to the appointment with a good feeling instead of scrubbing at the last minute.
- A clean, well-kept overall impression inside and out.
- Fewer visible signs of use on paint and interior.
- More peace of mind before the inspection.
- Time saved in the busy days before the return.
How it works
Step by step
- 1
Plan ahead
Tell us your return date and your car. Together we find a slot that leaves a little buffer before the deadline.
- 2
Assess the condition
From photos or in person, we see whether the Premium package covers it or extra work is needed. Any extra costs are always agreed first.
- 3
Detailing
We detail the car inside and out. The Premium treatment takes about 4 to 6 hours.
- 4
Collection before the return
You pick up your freshly detailed car or use our pick-up and return service for a distance-based surcharge.

Good to know
- For a lease return we recommend the Premium package from €299 (small cars), €349 (mid-size) or €399 (SUVs and vans), each including VAT.
- We improve the car's appearance. How it is rated at the return is decided by the leasing company or its assessor. Damage that goes beyond cleaning and paint care is not something we can fix.

FAQ
Questions about lease return preparation
Which package do you recommend for a lease return?
Usually the Premium package, because it covers the interior, upholstery, paint and plastic trim together. For very well-kept cars Intensiv may be enough, and we are happy to check that from photos.
Will this help me avoid extra charges?
A thoroughly detailed car shows its actual condition in the best light. We cannot make any promise about the outcome of the inspection, as that is decided by the leasing company or its assessor.
How much time should I allow?
The Premium treatment takes about 4 to 6 hours. Get in touch early so we can find a slot before your return date.
Can you collect the car from me?
Yes, by arrangement and subject to availability we collect it and bring it back. The surcharge depends on the distance.
