This can result in both the foreign fine and additional admin charges from the leasing company—usually between £15 to £60 per violation. Leased vehicle drivers must obtain a VE103 certificate, the only legally recognised alternative to the V5C logbook, showing permission to take the car abroad. Without it, drivers risk on-the-spot fines, major delays, and the possibility of the vehicle being impounded by authorities. With charges of 10p to 30p per mile over the agreed allowance, a 1,000-mile excess could cost an extra £100 to £300 at the end of the contract. Many UK insurance policies only offer third-party cover in Europe unless comprehensive European cover is specified.
