Returning your company car

Sooner or later, your leased company car will have to be returned and will, hopefully, be replaced by a new one. Get an overview of the return process here.

The car must be returned to an FDM test center on the expiration date. If the expiration date falls on a weekend/public holiday, the vehicle must be returned on the last working day before the planned expiry of the contract. If you are booking an appointment for the inspection and there are no available time slots on the ordinary expiry date, the vehicle must be returned on the day before.

Returning your company car

If you book an appointment online, you (or a representative from your company) have the option to follow the test assistant's inspection from a distance. When the inspection is completed, we will examine the report together to ensure that potential damages and defects are documented in the report. 

You can also make do with simply handing over your company car to one of the below mentioned FDM test centers without booking an appointment beforehand. In that case, FDM will inspect the car without you following it from a distance, and the assessment will be sent to you electronically. Remember to get a receipt for your hand-over.

FDM test centers that can be used without booking an appointment: Ballerup, Hillerød, Taastrup, Næstved*, Slagelse*, Odense, Fredericia, Esbjerg*, Holstebro, Silkeborg, Århus V (Hasle) and Aalborg. 

*Some FDM test centers may be closed during holiday seasons. During holidays, it is therefore a good idea to book an appointment for the inspection to make sure that the center is open.
