In this blog post you will read various maintenance tips for your lease car.

Lease contract

The cost of maintenance can vary from one lease contract to another. Often, maintenance costs are included in the lease contract. This means that these costs can then be paid by the leasing company. Incidentally, this does not apply to every lease contract: at financial lease you will have to pay for maintenance costs, among other things. So read up on the type of lease you are interested in. You can find out more by searching on 'business car leasing'.

Maintenance tips

Besides regular maintenance, you can also do several things yourself to keep your lease car in good condition.

Tip 1: Check tyre pressure

For example, you can regularly check your tyre pressure. Having the right tyre pressure ensures that your tyres wear out less quickly. And with the right pressure, you drive a lot safer and more economically: also not unimportant.

Tip 2: Check oil and fluids

Besides checking tyre pressure, it is also important to check the oil and all fluids. Top these up when necessary. If you check these properly and top them up when needed, you can extend the life of your car considerably. This way, you will avoid mechanical problems.

Tip 3: A clean car

Keeping your car clean is also an essential maintenance tip. Your car will then look nice, which of course gives it a well-groomed look which is important for a car of your business, for example. Cleaning the exterior of your car is also important. This also protects the paintwork. It is also good to regularly keep the interior nice and clean. This will prevent foul odours from lingering in your car. This is even more important nowadays. This is because of the various sensors and cameras a car is equipped with. A dirty camera will not allow you to see properly and dirty sensors cannot pick up as good signals.

Tip 4: Drive carefully

This goes without saying, but it is an important tip. Drive carefully and therefore avoid aggressive driving. Like braking too hard, accelerating fast and making sharp turns. This can cause certain parts of the car to wear out even faster.

Tip 5: Notice sounds

Pay close attention to your car. For example, if you hear crazy noises, this could be a sign that something is wrong. Think of squeaking or creaking noises. When you hear this, it is best to have it looked at immediately.
