- These changes only apply to new orders placed on or after 1 July 2026
Why mileage matters
Mileage is one of the biggest factors in the cost of running the Scheme.
When we know how many miles a vehicle will travel, we can plan costs more accurately.
Our aim is to:
- Keep the Scheme affordable
- Make sure support is fair for all customers
- Protect the Scheme for years to come
If you need more mileageIf you need to drive more than the allowance, you can pay for extra mileage.
For orders placed on or after 1 July 2026, excess mileage will be charged at:
- 25p per mile including standard rate VAT
- 21p per mile if your lease benefits from VAT concessions
This cost covers the:
- Additional distance driven
- Insurance for those extra miles
Can I get support if I need extra miles for essential travel?
We understand that, in some circumstances, you may need to drive more than the mileage allowance included in your lease.
We will be introducing an exceptions process for very limited situations and will share an update before 1 July.
