Lease Mileage Charges FAQ
Everything you need to know about managing, calculating, and potentially reducing your end-of-lease mileage penalties.
An excess mileage charge is a fee applied by a leasing company or finance provider when you return a leased vehicle (such as a PCP or Contract Hire car) having driven more miles than the total allowance specified in your original contract.
It is calculated by subtracting your contract’s total mileage allowance from the actual miles you have driven. The resulting ‘excess miles’ are then multiplied by the excess mileage rate (in pence per mile) stated in your lease agreement.
Typical excess mileage rates in the UK range from 10p to 20p per mile for standard vehicles. For premium or luxury cars, this rate can be higher, sometimes reaching 25p to 30p per mile or more, depending on the finance provider.
Yes. You can contact your finance provider before the lease ends to purchase additional miles upfront, which is usually significantly cheaper than the end-of-lease penalty rate. Alternatively, you might be able to swap your lease for a higher-mileage agreement or negotiate the final charge based on the vehicle’s excellent condition.
