End of Lease Guide: Avoiding Dent Charges with PDR
How to Return a Lease Car Without Paying Excessive Damage Fees
Returning a lease vehicle? Don’t get caught out by costly end-of-lease damage charges. Most leasing companies charge hundreds of pounds for minor dents and dings—even small parking damage can result in expensive penalties.
At Global Dent Solutions, we specialise in Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) for lease returns, helping drivers, fleet managers, and businesses avoid unnecessary repair fees and return vehicles in top condition.
Why Fix Dents Before Returning Your Lease Car?
✅ Avoid Costly Lease Return Charges – Minor dents can result in excessive fees.
✅ Retain Your Deposit – Avoid deductions for damage repairs.
✅ Meet Lease Wear & Tear Standards – Ensure your car passes inspection.
✅ More Affordable Than Lease Company Repairs – PDR is up to 75% cheaper.
✅ Mobile Repair Service – We Come to You – No need to visit a body shop.
How Much Do Lease Companies Charge for Dents?
Most leasing companies classify minor dents as chargeable damage. If you return your vehicle with dents, they will charge you for repairs at inflated prices.
Typical Lease Company Charges for Dents:
Small Dent (1-2cm): £150 - £250
Medium Dent (3-5cm): £250 - £500
Larger Dents / Multiple Dents: £500+
💡 You can avoid these charges by repairing dents with PDR for a fraction of the cost.

Lease Return Inspection: What to Expect
Before your lease car is returned, it will undergo a fair wear & tear inspection to assess any damage. While light scratches and minimal wear are often acceptable, dents are considered excessive damage and will result in charges.
What Lease Inspectors Check For:
✔ Dents & Dings – Any visible panel damage, no matter how small.
✔ Scratches & Scuffs – Surface marks beyond normal wear & tear.
✔ Alloy Wheel Damage – Kerb rash or scratches.
✔ Windscreen Chips – Cracks and stone chips that obstruct vision.
Removing dents before the inspection ensures your car meets lease return standards!
