Anyone found or used such insurance to avoid costs when returning the car at the end of the lease?

Thanks

Not for a lease car, but for a recent purchase I took out both dent and alloy ins. Seems like great value paid for 3 years cove and you can claim far more often than I hope I'll need. Used the alloy cover once, good service and excellent repair.

No, would have been interested as I am a year away from returning lease car.

What I've decided is to have any alloy wheels refurb'd at around £50 each, then a full and thorugh valet for £65+vat. That way, it reduces lease company's attempts to be picky. And I will video the car before handback too.

A friend of mine, who used to co-pilot for the brother of a driver killed in a fireball crash.. used to hire cars to go on reconaissance before his rallying (in a Golf GTi in the late 80's)

Donuts in the carpark with his 6 year old strapped in...

Hire cars handed back thoroughly knackered, but no damage visually, except fot the one at the bottom of a hill in Lausanne, parked neatly on it's side. (fined for that!) paid excess....

We went to have a look at a used but newish car at a local dealership last year. A small Hyundai: solid enough car, but uninspiring in just about every way. Clunky gearchange and modest accelaration, to put it kindly.

We took it for a test drive, got back, and then he treated us to a list of insurance products including alloy wheel insurance. I didn't have the heart to tell him that the Hyundai had steel wheels.

It was a blessed relief when we were released from this tedious litany of ripoffs by the news that the part ex value of our current car would be the equivalent of a shirt button and a peanut.
