What happens if my old device is damaged?

Damage assessment: When your device is received, our returns partner will assess it for any significant damage. If significant damage is found (grade D or higher), you will be charged a Repair Charge in line with your Hire Agreement. If you opted for insurance at the time of signing up for your lease, the Repair Charge will be capped at the insurance excess amount for your device.

What happens if my device is lost or has been stolen?

Lost or stolen device: If you no longer have the device, please contact our team. They’ll take you through the steps to pay the non-return fee for the device as it can no longer be returned to Raylo.
