As a MINI Lease or MINI Select customer, you should keep some things in mind before your MINI Financial Services contract expires and you return your MINI – that's assuming you want to return it, of course. Here, you can find all the information about the various steps and procedures before your agreement runs out. This ensures that parting from your MINI goes just as smoothly as getting it in the first place.

The good news for you is not that your leasing or Select agreement is due to expire in six months, but that you will be able to decide whether you want to change to a new MINI. Because you're now free to choose one of the latest models. At this point in time, MINI Financial Services will already have sent information on new models to you by post. All you have to do to get your new MINI is to contact your partner at MINI Financial Services and tell them which model you want. You'll then receive a quote tailored specially to your needs.

Precisely four months before the end of the agreement period, you will receive the Repurchase Benefit Package. This not only contains information about returning your MINI, it also features a quote for a new MINI model. Whilst you consider this offer, you should make an appointment at your MINI dealer as soon as possible. Together with your dealer, you can check the current as-is condition of your vehicle.

This check shows you exactly the repair, service or maintenance work that may be necessary. The vehicle return brochure also provides information about the assessment of the overall condition of your vehicle and any repairs.

BEFORE YOU GIVE IT BACK: REPAIR ANY DAMAGE
Please contact your MINI dealer and/or your insurance company so that any damage to your MINI can be repaired before the leasing/Select contract expires. Also forward to MINI Financial Services the corresponding damage or assignment notice before the agreement expires. If you have taken out comprehensive insurance, you can have the damage repaired at little or no extra cost. MINI Financial Services recommends that you have any necessary repairs carried out before you finally return your MINI. In most cases, this will save you money.

Contact your MINI dealer and make an appointment to return your MINI. When you have returned the vehicle, you will receive a receipt.

After you return the MINI, an appraisal report will be obtained or your MINI dealer will perform a return inspection. This check forms the basis for final settlement. The vehicle must be handed over as supplied, with all documents and ideally in the contractually agreed condition. The vehicle return brochure shows you where normal signs of use end and where damage requiring repair begins. This brochure can be downloaded from this site.

Is your next car also going to be a MINI? Then that's something you can look forward to now. Or change directly and continue to enjoy that incomparable go-kart feeling.

If you are still undecided, simply contact MINI Financial Services. They will be pleased to make you an attractive offer.
