When returning a truck or HGV to a leasing company, even minor cosmetic defects or interior wear can be flagged as damage and lead to hefty depreciation charges or excess wear penalties.
These charges often include:
- Repainting costs at premium rates
- Overpriced interior part replacements
- Labour costs far higher than standard
- Charges for unclean or poorly presented vehicles
- Panel dents or scuffs classified as damage, not wear
In most cases, you have the right to repair the vehicle yourself before returning it — and that’s where Centre Transport Sales offers a massive advantage.
