End of your lease contract: what you need to know
When your lease contract with Ayvens comes to an end, you have three options: returning your lease car, extending the contract, or buy your lease car. Each choice has its pros and cons.
Returning your lease car
When your lease contract ends you can return your current lease car and hopefully lease a new one with us!. Returning your lease car is a simple process, designed for your convenience. Here are the three steps to guide you through the return process:
- Make a return appointment
- Register your return by filling out our digital return form. You can do this no earlier than 4 weeks before the end date of your lease and no later than the day the lease expires. If you wait to register your return, the contract will not be terminated until the date we receive the requested information, regardless of whether it is after the scheduled end of the contract.
- Your employer may have specific instructions for the return, so please also refer to your car policy or fleet manager for any instructions.
- If you car has damages that are to be covered by the insurance, including glass damage, these must be reported and repaired before the car is returned.
- Prepare your car for return
- Make sure the car is clean, both externally and internally
- Clear out personal belongings, ensuring the car is free of your items.
- Remove personal data from the navigation and phone systems.
- If applicable, disconnect any "connected car" apps.
- Ensure all keys, official documents, and accessories are ready for handover.

Extending your lease contract
Benefits of extending
Extending your contract not only ensures you continue driving your trusted car but can also bring several advantages:
- Keep driving your current car. We know people can grow to love their current car and want to drive it for a bit longer. This is possible by extending your contract.
- Extension of tax benefits. Depending on your car and when you started leasing it, you may continue to benefit from taxation policies that were in place at the time you started leasing your car.
To extend your lease, you need to contact us and tell us the current odometer reading of your car in kilometers, as well as the number of months you want to extend the lease. You should also indicate the expected odometer reading at the end of the extension. The shortest possible extension is 6 months. Please note that you also need the approval of your fleet manager before the extension can be implemented.
Buying your lease car
If you’re interested in buying your lease car, you can request a quote by filling in the contact form on this page. You can request to buy your car starting three months before your contract ends.
Please note that the purchase price stated in the quotation is non-negotiable. Ayvens does not provide estimated purchase prices via phone.
