Fair Wear and Tear Guide - Light Commercial Vehicles
What this guide is for
At the start of the rental, you will be issued with an inventory of standard and optional equipment that comes with the vehicle.
You can avoid or minimise end of contract charges at the end of the rental period by following all of the advice provided by the rental location, to help keep the vehicle in roadworthy condition.
Zones
Wear and tear must be appropriate to the usage on light commercial vehicles.
Parts of the vehicles are split into Green, Red and Orange Zones for simplicity when referring to the condition of a vehicle and differ by vehicle type.
What are potential end of contract charges?
When a vehicle is collected or returned at the end of its rental, both you and an authorised member of our Europcar staff will need to be present to check its condition.
