Mileage is one of the major factors in defining how much your rental agreement will cost. It is vital to choose a mileage allowance that reflects your driving habits.
When setting up a quote, we'll ask you to select an annual mileage. We'll then work out a total contracted mileage based on the annual mileage you select and the term of the lease.
If you exceed the total contracted mileage, you'll need to pay us an excess mileage charge at the end of the agreement.
As an example:
You choose an annual mileage of 10,000 miles over 48 months (4 years). Your total contracted mileage is 40,000 miles.
Example 1.
If you do the following mileage:
Year 1: 12,000 miles.
Year 2: 11,000 miles.
Year 3: 9,000 miles.
Year 4: 7,000 miles.
Total mileage over the contract is 39,000 miles.
You would not be charged excess mileage in this example. This is because you have not exceeded your total contracted mileage of 40,000 miles, even though you exceeded your annual mileage in years 1 and 2.
Example 2.
If you do the following mileage:
Year 1: 9,000 miles.
Year 2: 10,000 miles.
Year 3: 11,000 miles.
Year 4: 12,000 miles.
Total mileage over the contract is 42,000 miles.
You would be charged excess mileage in this example. This is because you have exceeded your total contracted mileage of 40,000 miles, even though you didn’t exceed annual mileage in years 1 and 2.
This excess mileage charge will be based on how many additional miles you have done.
As an example:
If the excess stated in your agreement is 5p per mile, and you exceeded your mileage allowance by 2,000 miles, you would be charged £100.00.
Please note: You will not receive a refund if you travel less than the total contracted mileage over the term of the agreement.
