Step 2. Obtain a written quotation |
Once you have decided on the vehicle that is right for you our sales team will provide you with a written quotation. This will outline the deal that you are interested in and any other fees/ charges in relation to that particular offer. Please be aware that quotations do expire after a period of time and if you wish to proceed with your order based on the supplied quotation, you must complete and submit a proposal form in order for us to arrange finance for you. Please could you also note that a quotation is not to be constructed as an obligation to sell but merely an invitation to treat and no contractual relationship will arise from any quotation until the buyers order has been accepted in writing by Top Cars Leasing (please refer to our terms and conditions). |
| Step 3. Complete a proposal form |
Once you have been sent a written quotation and have decided that you are happy to proceed please contact our sales team on 01495 238771 or alternatively click the ‘Request a Proposal Form’ option on our website – here you will be required to fill in a few simple details in order for us to process your request.

Completed and signed proposal forms can be faxed back on 01495 238771 or emailed to Jodene@topcarsleasing.com.
If you are a business in order for our finance company to credit score your application we may require a copy of your latest accounts and P&L balance sheet.
Customers applying for a vehicle as a private individual may also need to provide additional information. This may be supporting documents such as bank statements or Utility bill’s as proof of address. Please be aware that any request for further information is not intended to offend but merely to protect our customers against identity fraud. |
| Step 4. Finance Acceptance and Securing a vehicle |
Once your application for finance has been approved and a written confirmation has been received by Top Cars Leasing from the funder we will then be able to secure a vehicle on your behalf subject to us receiving a deposit from yourselves. The deposit is usually £350.00 but this amount may vary depending on vehicle model / specifications and any extras/accessories you may wish to opt for. Please note that this is a refundable deposit which will be returned to you in full after the vehicle has been delivered and a delivery note has been signed. |
| Step 5. Signing the Finance Documents |
We aim to send customers the Finance documents/ Hire Agreements at least 1 week prior to the delivery of your vehicle(s). These must be signed and returned to Top Cars Leasing as soon as possible along with the initial rental cheque and any back up documents requested. Once these documents have been received by Top Cars Leasing – we will authorise the delivery of your vehicle. Should your vehicle be in stock at this point, we will provide you with a Registration number and a delivery date.
Please be aware that some documents contain distant selling regulations or cool off periods of up to 14 days. No vehicle will be delivered until the ‘cool off’ periods have expired. |
| Step 6. Vehicle Delivery |
Our dealers are located over various parts of the UK. We understand that customers would like their new vehicle’s to be transported where possible and although we will endeavour to meet our customers requirements, in some cases transporting vehicles just isn’t an option. Please appreciate that transporting vehicles over long distances can be very costly and in some cases dealers are not willing to fund the cost. This does not apply to all of our dealers and some are more than happy to provide transporters to make the arrival of your new vehicle that little bit more special.
On arrival of your new vehicle, you are responsible for making sure that the vehicle is inspected for any defects or damage. Although damage is very rare on a new vehicle, please ensure that these checks are carried out thoroughly particularly for vehicle being driven for delivery.
When you sign the delivery note, please can you ensure that any delivery mileage is recorded on this document.
By signing the delivery note you are agreeing to take delivery of your new vehicle. Any disputes or problems should be highlighted before you sign for delivery. |
Step 7. Insuring your Vehicle |
It is your responsibility as an individual / Business to ensure that your new vehicle is properly insured throughout your contract. All vehicles MUST be insured fully comprehensively. Please can you also be aware that you will not be the registered keeper of your new vehicle. The registered keeper will be the finance company which holds your contract. You will need to make your insurance provider aware that you will not be the registered keeper when insuring your vehicle. |
Step 8. Maintenance |
You will also be responsible for ensuring that your new vehicle is properly maintained throughout your contract. In some cases such as low mileage contracts or some 24 month contracts the vehicle will not necessarily need a service. Please refer to the manufacturers handbook supplied in the glove box of your new vehicle in order to calculate when your vehicle will be due a service. Please can you also be aware that some vehicles such as Renault require a service after 12 months – instructions on your vehicle dash board will also indicate when a service is due.
The cost of a service is not covered in your contract and you are liable to cover this cost unless it is otherwise specified in your contract that servicing is included. Ensuring that your vehicle is kept fully maintained is a condition of your contract. |
| Step 9. Returning the car at the end of your contract |
Usually around 2 weeks before the vehicle is due to be returned, your finance company will contact you. They will then arrange a suitable date to collect the vehicle from you and once the vehicle has been collected you will have no further commitment to it.
The vehicle needs to be in reasonable condition on collection and an inspection shall be made by the funder on the vehicle’s return based on age and mileage.
Should there be any damage to the vehicle upon inspection other than expected wear and tear – you may well be liable to cover the costs for repair. |
