At Look After My Car, we understand that leasing customers want to enjoy their vehicles without worrying about costly repairs or unexpected end-of-contract charges, writes Robert Sleat, Head of Leasing Brokers and Telesales at Premia Solutions (left). That’s why we’ve developed Smart Plus Insurance—a product designed specifically to support the leasing market.
Unlike the standard 36-month cover typically offered through dealerships, Smart Plus aligns seamlessly with the full term of most lease agreements up to 48 months.
Key cover features include
- Bodywork protection for damage up to 40cm
- 10 alloy wheel repairs, including diamond-cut finishes
- Windscreen excess cover
This comprehensive protection delivers peace of mind for drivers and helps reduce costly reconditioning charges at the end of the lease. For brokers and leasing providers, it means higher customer satisfaction, stronger loyalty, and an increased likelihood of repeat business.
Why leasing customers need Smart Plus Insurance
Everyday driving exposes vehicles to unavoidable risks:
- Parking dings and scratches – from tight spaces, shopping centre car parks, or careless door openings.
- Minor accidents – mid-speed collisions or reversing into objects cause damage.
- Vandalism – deliberate damage, varying by location and circumstance.
For leasing customers, the difference is significant: the car isn’t theirs. Any damage left untreated can deteriorate over time, leading to potentially hefty and often unexpected reconditioning costs at the end of the contract. This can sour the leasing experience and discourage customers from renewing with the same provider.
A solution for brokers and their customers
By offering Look After My Car to your customers, leasing brokers can:
- Protect customers from the risks and potential costs associated with vehicle damage.
- Provide customers with a cost-effective way to avoid unexpected end-of-contract charges.
- Strengthen customer confidence and improve retention rates.
With Smart Plus, drivers enjoy a worry-free lease, and brokers benefit from happier, more loyal customers who are more likely to return when it’s time for their next vehicle.
Leasing Options sees benefits of Look After My Car membership

“The feedback has been fantastic – customers like how easy the claims process is and how confident they feel knowing they’re properly protected. These products fit perfectly alongside our leasing packages, making sure both our customers’ cars and their finances are well looked after.”
