Please Note:

• We care about your security, so we’ll need a separate form for each agreement you have with us. So, for example, if you have a Solutions (PCP) agreement and a Fixed Cost Maintenance plan, we’ll need two forms.
• We’ll need your new bank details at least 14 days before your next payment is due. If it’s due sooner than that, you may have to pay in a different way – contact us to find out more. 
  
• The new account must be in the name of whoever has the agreement.
  

Depending on your agreement, you may be able to move your payment date forward or back by 21 days. But you’ll need to tell us at least 14 days before your next payment. You can change your payment date once a year. Please note amending your payment date will not amend your end-of-contract date.

To talk to us about changing your payment date, you can find our contact details here  

If you have a Contract Hire agreement the process of assigning or removing your personalised number plate will need to go through us, as we are the registered owner and keeper of the vehicle. Please contact us on FleetPersonalisedNumberPlate@vwfs.co.uk. 

If you are not a Contract Hire customer, and want to discuss your vehicle registration with us you can find our contact details here.

You can only change your mileage on a Contract Hire or Fixed Cost Maintenance agreement.

It is important to note that if you exceed the mileage set on your agreement on any of our products you will be charged excess mileage costs when you hand the vehicle back. If you are concerned about this you should contact your retailer who will be able to advise on your individual situation. 

Contract Hire agreements

For Contract Hire customers, we can’t make any changes if your agreement is in its first or last six months.

Other key points to note:

• Mileage can only be changed once a year 
  
• Changes must be at least 5,000 miles up or down 
• Your allowance must be a minimum of 5,000 miles a year
• Total allowances over the lifetime of your agreement can’t exceed 120,000 miles (150,000 miles on Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles) 
• Updating your mileage will result in changes to your agreement, so you need to contact us for a quote using the online forms below: 
• If you accept the quote, there’s a £60 fee to cover the work involved in amending your agreement.

To request a change of mileage to your Contract Hire agreement, please complete this form. 

Fixed Cost Maintenance agreements

For Fixed Cost Maintenance customers, we can only increase your mileage. If you do that, you can’t return to the previous lower limit later on.

To request to increase your mileage on your Fixed Cost Maintenance agreement, please complete this form.

If you have a PCP, Hire Purchase or Lease Purchase agreement you are able to make a partial payment towards your agreement to reduce the monthly rentals or shorten the term of the agreement. You are able to do this as often as you wish, however the minimum the monthly rental can be reduced to is £50.00 and the minimum the term remaining can be reduced to is 1 month. 

Once the payment is made the finance agreement will be re-calculated and confirmation will be sent in the post. If you are in arrears, any partial payment will be used to clear that arrears debt first, then the remainder can be put against term or rental.

To make a partial payment online, please complete this form.

Please note if you have a Contract Hire or Finance Lease agreement you are unable to make any partial payments.

If you have a Finance Lease, Hire Purchase, Lease Purchase or Solutions (PCP) finance agreement with us, no action is required. Your agreement states you can take the vehicle abroad (European destinations only) for a maximum of 60 days. However, please ensure that you have adequate insurance cover.

If you have a Contract Hire finance agreement with us and wish to take the vehicle abroad, you will need to obtain a VE103 Foreign Travel Authority certificate from us. Requesting one is easy, just complete this form online.

You still need to ensure that you have adequate insurance cover, and you will be sent your VE103 Foreign Travel Authority certificate within 14 days of your request, but please note this is valid for one year only and allows travel for up to 90 days in mainland Europe.

Its also important you are aware of the local driving laws, and are prepared for travelling through a city that requires a low emissions sticker. 

• Request an annual statement - it marks the anniversary of the date your agreement started and shows all the payments made up until then. You can download a guide to your annual statement which will help explain the document. 
• Request a statement of accounts -  We’ll tell you all the payments you made between two dates.
• Request an amortisation statement - avaliable for regulated agreements, this shows what’s left to pay on your account – both capital and interest – from the date you request a copy until the end of your agreement.
• Request an annual VAT schedule - a copy of your VAT Schedule for Contract Hire or Finance Lease agreements. It shows all the payments due for up to 12 months.

For Contract Hire agreements we will tax and provide roadside assistance for every year of your agreement. The DVLA has introduced an online vehicle road tax system; and we will send a letter at the start of your agreement as confirmation that your vehicle will be taxed during the duration of your agreement in accordance with DVLA requirements. For more information on this please visit https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax

For all other agreements it is your responsibility to renew the RFL as appropriate.

It is important that you continue to pay all monthly payments when due until the matter is resolved. If your vehicle has been in an accident and is not a total loss then Contract Hire customers must have this repaired at one of our approved retailers. All other products can choose where to get repairs done, however we would advise using an authorised repairer to ensure you do not invalidate the warranty and avoid charges at the end of contract if repairs do not meet our standards.

You can find your nearest location below: 

However if your vehicle has been deemed a total loss as it has been stolen or written off you will need to get in contact with us in order that we can advise of the full process depending on the finance product you have. Please have to hand the last known mileage of the vehicle, the name of your insurance company and any reference numbers you have for them.

If you have any questions or concerns about your insurance claim, please contact us as soon as possible and we will be able to support you through the process. 

This depends on your agreement type.
