Lease cars and Boot Liners
I am about to lease a new car for the very first time and am a bit unsure about whether to bother buying a bootliner for it or not.
It is only a 2 year lease, so I don't want to waste £140 on a bootliner I will probably never use after the car goes back, but we do have dogs that infrequently travel in the boot of the car. The dogs are big, very hairy and often travel with a degree of wet/mud/general stinkyness attached, so am I likely to be charged for steam cleaning/valeting the boot on return, or would that be considered as fair wear and tear for the boot area of a car?
If I am going to be charged for a steam clean anyway, I may as well suck up the bootliner cost instead, but just wondered what other people do who are in a similar position.
TIA
Lease cars and Boot Liners
I have a lease Golf R Estate, and like you also have dogs. I got one of these from Fleabay and tbh its really good. Tailored to fit my vehicle, and comes with a bumper protector as well, all for £50. Made of plastic which seems pretty tough, and velcro backed so it fits snugly to the side panels, and rear seat back. There are also straps to secure the back seat bit to the headrests. Keeps the main dirt hair etc from covering the boot.

If the car goes back dirty, stained or damaged beyond what is ‘reasonable’ they may bill the customer to sort it. That may involve just cleaning, or in extreme cases new interior panels. For the sake of a few quid it seems a worthwhile investment imo. So whilst you are correct in saying you dont need one, it may be wiser to just fit one anyway, especially with large hairy muddy dogs.
