Lease FAQ
What do I need to return my lease?
When returning your lease, make sure to bring:
- The Vehicle – Cleaned and in good condition.
- All Keys and Accessories – Including spare keys, fobs, and any equipment that came with the car.
- Lease Agreement Documents – To confirm lease terms and conditions.
- Current Mileage and Maintenance Records – To verify upkeep and mileage limits.
If you have questions or need assistance, West Herr is here to help guide you through the process!
What charges can I expect at the end of the lease?
When returning your lease, you may face several charges, including:
1. Excess Mileage Fees – Most leases include a set mileage limit. If you exceed that limit, you could be charged a fee for every additional mile (typically between $0.10 and $0.30 per mile over the limit).
2. Excess Wear and Tear – Any damage that goes beyond normal wear and tear (e.g., dents, scratches, or interior damage) may incur repair fees. It’s important to understand what qualifies as normal wear and tear in your lease agreement. West Herr can help you with this, insuring you are not paying for any damage listed on manufacturer requirements.
3. Early Termination Fees – If you return your lease before the contract ends, you might face an early termination fee. This can be costly and might include a portion of remaining payments, a termination fee, or both.
4. Disposition Fees – Some lease agreements include a disposition fee, which is charged at the end of the lease if you choose to return the vehicle without purchasing it. This fee typically covers the cost of preparing the vehicle for resale.
5. Residual Value – If you wish to purchase the car at the end of the lease, the residual value (the vehicle’s predicted value at the end of the lease) is typically due. If you return the car, you avoid this cost, but it’s important to understand the implications of not purchasing.
West Herr Exclusive: We will cover $250 of over mileage fees and excess wear & tear charges! *You could qualify for more forgiveness on lease damage or over mileage directly from the manufacturer. Contact us!
6. Taxes and Fees – You may also owe taxes, registration fees, or other local charges, depending on where you’re returning the vehicle.
