Option 3 – Upgrade to a New Car 

If your current lease is coming to an end, you can replace your car with a new one—either the same make and model or something completely different. If your financial situation has improved, you might even be able to upgrade to a larger vehicle or one with a higher specification.

At CVS Ltd, we appreciate our loyal customers. If you’ve kept up with your payments on time, we’ll make it easy for you to swap into your next car—with no initial payment required.

You can also customise your new lease to better suit your needs. Whether you want to increase your annual mileage or adjust your monthly payments, we’ll help you find the right deal.

End of Lease FAQs

How do I arrange return of my vehicle at the end of the lease?

It is your responsibility to return the vehicle to the offices of Compass Vehicle Services at your own expense between Monday and Friday, 9am to 5pm. The vehicle must be returned in good condition.

Do I need to clean my car before handing it back?

Yes do please return the vehicle clean. This helps us appraise the vehicle accurately for any damage or wear and tear, and reduces the likelihood of disputes later.

What if I want to lease another car with CVS Ltd?

Great! If you’ve kept up with payments, we make the process simple. You might even be able to switch to a new car with no initial payment. Browse our latest deals or contact us to discuss your options.

When can I start looking for a new vehicle?

We are happy to renew your motor vehicle within the last 2 months of your contract and will not charge you for any unpaid payments due. (Unlike any other lenders we know.)

What should I return with my vehicle?

Please return everything that was provided with your vehicle. This includes all keys, the service book, satellite navigation discs or SD cards, fixtures and fittings (e.g. headrests, parcel shelf etc.), and locking wheel nut keys. We may charge for any items that are missing when the vehicle is returned.

My vehicle's MOT is due soon - what should I do?

It is important that when you return your vehicle it has at least 5 days remaining on the MOT.

What happens if I exceed the mileage limit?

We will invoice you for the outstanding mileage at the rate agreed within your contract. Contact us as soon as you know that you are going to exceed the mileage, and we may be able to include the cost within your monthly payment.

I have a personal registration plate - what should I do?

Please contact us at least six weeks before you are due to return the vehicle. We will advise you about removing the plate from your car. It is important to remove this before returning the car, as it may not possible to have the registration returned to you otherwise.

What if my car has some damage—will I be charged?

Request a copy of the BVRLA industry ‘fair wear and tear standard’ from CVS. If you find that your vehicle has damage that falls outside the guidelines of this policy, you should have this damage repaired prior to returning it. If you fail to get damage repaired, CVS Ltd will have the damage repaired and invoice you for the costs.
