Returning your vehicle

Returning your vehicle

• What do I need to do when returning my vehicle?

  Use the checklist to guarantee that you haven’t forgotten anything. Because according to your contract, we will have to invoice you for anything that’s missing, even if you return it to us later.

  Checklist:

  • Clean the vehicle – inside and out.
  • Put all vehicle papers in.
  • Check whether the maintenance book is there.
  • Bring all fuel cards with you.
  • Return all navigation CDs, unless you bought them yourself.
  • Bring all keys with you:
  • regular and spare keys;
  • keys for the radio code;
  • (keys for anti-theft wing nuts);
  • (keys for a removable tow bar);
  • (keys for the ski box).
  • Make sure that the right tyres are fitted: you must have summer tyres on between 1 April and 1 October.
  • Make sure the original aluminium wheel rims are fitted.
  • Install all extra seats if your vehicle is a multi-purpose vehicle.
  • Remove all your personal possessions.
  • Remove any accessories you have paid for (unless doing so will damage the vehicle), but leave speakers, antennas and spoiler as they are.
• Can there be costs charged through?
  The unrepaired damage to the vehicle will be charged to the employer, who reserves the right to pass on all or part of the costs for this damage to the employee. Consequently, it is the responsibility of the employee to monitor the following points before returning the vehicle:
  •    All windows must be in perfect condition. It is the responsibility of the employee to have any window that is broken, cracked, or which has a star break in it replaced or repaired prior to the return of the vehicle.
  •    All damage to the bodywork must be repaired before return.
  •    The vehicle must be clean, both inside and outside.
  •    The spare keys, all vehicle papers and accessories should be present and complete.
  Should the employee not have the damage repaired before returning the vehicle, the deductible will be applied for the damage indicated prior to the return of the vehicle. If there was no prior declaration of the damage, the damage final ride matrix (according to Renta standards) will be used to calculate the damage. In case of lost spare keys, vehicle papers or accessories: those costs will also be charged according the damage final ride matrix. This for customers who are insured with us.
  
  
• Where do I return my vehicle?

  Refer to the Car Policy at your place of work, or ask your fleet manager.

  There are three possibilities:

  1. At Athlon: Leuvensesteenweg 9, 1830 Machelen, on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 12 midday and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Make an appointment at least one week in advance via the Athlon Driver Desk.
  2. In the garage where you picked up your new vehicle. Make sure you let the Athlon Driver Desk know and inform them of your number plate.
  3. To your employer. Consult with your fleet manager and if necessary, update the Athlon Driver Desk.
• Can I take over my lease vehicle?

  Discuss whether this is possible with your fleet manager; your company may have other plans for your lease vehicle.
  If you do come to an agreement, we will only be able to tell you the exact buyout price of your car once you have brought it to our dealership in Machelen (Leuvensesteenweg 9) upon the expiry of your lease contract.

  What do you need to do?
  Please send an email to B2DBelgium@athlon.com with the following information:
  •    name, address, telephone number, and email address
  •    number plate
  •    date and location of the vehicle delivery - if you cannot bring the vehicle to Machelen yourself, we will provide expedited transport.
  
  You will receive our price quote via email*. Please let us know if you agree with our buyout price within the five working days of receiving the quote.
