What is my contract end date?

A. This depends on the initial terms of your contract. Approximately 3 months before your contract ends, our Customer services team will contact you to start the termination process, ensuring everything runs smoothly, keeping administration time to a minimum, and answering any questions you may have regarding the return of your vehicle(s).
You can specify whether you would like this information to go to yourself or directly to your drivers.

How do I arrange the collection of my vehicle at the end of the contract?

A. Towards the end of your contract we will send you a form to complete and return highlighting what you want to do with your vehicle(s). If you would like your vehicle(s) collected, you will need to provide us with contact details of the person co-ordinating the vehicle collection. Our customer service team will then contact you to arrange a convenient collection time and location.

If you have not received an end of contract form but would like to arrange the collection of your vehicles, please contact us in writing with details of the vehicle (including registration number) that you want to be collected and contact details of the person co-ordinating this collection. Our customer services department will then contact you to set up a convenient collection time and location.

The collection driver will complete (in your presence) a report for you to sign showing the condition of the vehicle. DFM will then use an independent assessor to inspect the vehicle to determine any costs for shortages or repairs necessary to ensure that the vehicle satisfies the condition criteria detailed in the BVRLA Fair Wear and Tear Guide.
