I've had an accident in my replacement hire vehicle. What do I do?
There'll be a number you can call on the windscreen or in the rental pack you got at the start of the hire. You'll also need to report the accident to your insurance company.
Overseas accident or breakdown: what should I do?
If you have LeasePlan maintenance in your contract, you normally have breakdown included and this will cover you for European breakdowns.
You must inform us if you plan to travel overseas with your LP vehicle and if you experience a breakdown, we’ll put you in touch with the AA who will be able to guide you through what to do next. This also means if we get a request for work from the garage, we can authorise any repair work quickly.
My vehicle has been stolen - what should I do?
Report it to the police and tell your insurance company. Then, please call our Customer Service Team on 0345 250 0000.
Is it safe to have my glass repaired rather than replaced?
Yes, the glass fitter will determine whether the glass is suitable for a repair.
Why have I been charged for damage on my vehicle when it was returned?
All vehicles undergo an inspection in accordance with our Fair Wear and Tear guidelines. Any damage identified that's not compliant with Fair Wear and Tear is charged to you in accordance with your hire agreement.
I disagree with the damage charges I have received - what can I do?
Please refer to your terms and conditions and the Fair Wear and Tear guidelines. If you're still unhappy regarding the charges you have received, please call your DriverLine number to discuss this. If you don't know your DriverLine number, please call 0344 4937644.
