Contactless leasing

Our contactless processes for delivery and collection of cars ensure the safety of our customers and employees.

Delivery

When it’s time to deliver your car, we’ll contact you to arrange a date and time that suits you. When our driver is at or near your location, they will call you to confirm.

The handover itself will be conducted according to our company social distancing policy:

  • The driver will unload the vehicle and sanitise it thoroughly with an anti-bacterial spray, paying particular attention to all major touchpoints.
  • The driver will then sanitise the keys and place them in a box
  • They will ring the doorbell or knock, leaving the key box at your doorway and withdrawing to a 2-metre distance.
  • We will then ask you to inspect the vehicle yourself to make sure you are happy with its condition and to check for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Instead of a signature, we’ll take a photo of you beside the vehicle with the number plate visible.
  • Finally, we’ll ask for your email address so that we can send a receipt to confirm delivery – and that’s it!

Collection

When it’s time to hand your car back to us, the process will be generally the same as before with some minor changes.

  • The driver will place an empty box at your doorway and ask you to place your keys inside, removing keyrings and personal items.
  • We will sanitise the keys and inspect the vehicle for damage and to record its mileage.
  • Then, we’ll take a photo of you next to the car as proof of collection and ask for an email address so that we can send a receipt to you.
