We extended our lease in March. Got nothing. Should we have got £600?. And another £300 if we kept it for the full 5 years? Or do they pay out the full £900.
Ian,
If you extended the lease before the first Covid-19 lockdown (pre-April) you will get your GCB when you return the vehicle at the end of 5 years – (£900 for a 5 year lease).
If you extended once the first lockdown kicked in (or have had your lease extended due to lockdown/covid-19) you receive the GCB (£600) at the time the vehicle should normally have been returned (the three year point).
Or, if you are in financial need, you can ask for the £600 GCB anytime upto 31st January 2021. If you extended to 5 years, the remaining £300 would be paid at lease end.
