The British Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association (BVRLA) are the UK trade body for companies engaged in vehicle rental, leasing, and fleet management.
The BVRLA provides an industry-wide accepted standard that defines "fair wear and tear" as the wear and tear that occurs when normal usage causes deterioration to a vehicle. It is not to be confused with damage which occurs as a result of a specific event or series of events such as impact, inappropriate stowing of items, harsh treatment, negligent acts, or omissions.
