PVRLA vehicle return guides

One of the main goals of PVRLA's activities is to set the best standards in the vehicle rental and leasing industry in Poland.

The result of our activities in this field is, among others, the Vehicle Return Guides published by us, which are already a widely recognized standard in the market, applicable when returning cars to a CFM company, after the end of the long-term rental period of the fleet. The first publication of this type was issued back in 2007.

PVRLA's Vehicle Return Guides provide comprehensive and detailed information on acceptable and unacceptable (i.e., not within the limits of so-called normal operation) damage to cars after a long-term rental period. In addition to precise descriptions, they also contain photos showing examples of vehicle defects. This makes them a very useful tool for both CFM companies and entrepreneurs using fleets under long-term rental, allowing them to significantly simplify, systematize and shorten the car return process.

Equally important for us is the educational value. The guides make it possible for each driver of a company car to learn the principles of proper and safe car operation from the first minute of using the vehicle. Consequently, this will help to avoid additional costs due to out-of-pocket damage when the vehicle is returned.

The PVRLA guides were developed by our organization's experts in cooperation with Dekra Polska and Macadam (formerly SGS Polska) and the Association of Car Fleet Managers (SKFS), and cover the 2 most popular types of vehicles for long-term rental in Poland: passenger cars and vans up to 3.5t GVW.

Our guides, both the archival versions (from 2011 and 2013) and their latest editions (June 2023), are now available on a new website dedicated exclusively to this issue www.przewodniki-pzwlp.pl.

Commercial use of the latest versions of the guides requires a PVRLA license. Detailed information on this subject can be found on the above-mentioned website. Please visit this website!
