Upgrade your current vehicle. We will be in touch with you in the months prior to the end of your existing lease term to talk you through the latest makes, models to find the best replacement option for you and a seamless changeover.

At the end of the lease term, you will return the vehicle to ERL Vehicle Leasing for inspection or to one of our nominated dealer partners.  Subject to the vehicle being within the agreed km limit and in good condition in line with our fair wear and tear guidelines you have nothing further to pay. We will provide you with a copy of the inspection and an outline of any refurbishment or excess km charges if applicable.

We are able to help with a short-term extension at the end of term if needed, in most cases we will have arranged your replacement vehicle prior the end date ready for swap over.

Your lease designed to run the full agreed term, however if you need to end your lease early you will be responsible for our loss on sale of the vehicle (if any) or the balance of rentals, whichever is lower.  In this situation we will work with you the options and costs.
