Lease Car Return

Does anyone know roughly how much a lease company will charge if I send back a car needing the front bumper touched up? It's a bit of a mess, maybe about 6 square inches, no dents, just paint damage.
Thanks.

    When I took my car back (about 8 years ago), I was told just to drive it to the auction place direct. The security man came out, took my keys and that was it, no checking and I didn't hear about it again. I was a bit nervous as I had gone over the mileage but nothing was said. There was also a slight bump on the door. Guess it's your luck.

    I could have paid (£25?) for someone to come and collect at my house or work but the auction place wasn't too far so I opted to do that.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    When my husbands company cars go back they collect them and the man goes over them with a fine tooth comb. Te last car had no obvious damage just the usual stone chips and a little dong where someone had opened their car door.

    They still found £1300 of damage to add on!
  • Cheers guys.

    Think I'll pay Halfords a wee visit to be on the safe side.
