What to Bring When Returning a Leased Car

Returning a leased car is easy when you have all of the things you need with you. So before you make your way to your Pebble Beach dealership, double-check to see if you have the following with you:

  • Vehicle inspection report
  • Repair receipts
  • Keys/spare keys
  • Owner’s manual
  • Maintenance records

If you can’t find some of these items, we can help look them up for you. Just talk to us today! 

Steps to Returning a Leased Car 

Once you have the items you need, you will do the following steps to returning a leased car: 

  1. You’ll drop off your vehicle at our dealership. 
  2. One of our specialists will inspect the car for damage, overall quality, and other important factors. 
  3. Any extra miles on the odometer that exceed the restrictions or any wear and tear are subject to penalty fees. 
  4. Once the inspection process of your vehicle is complete, you can upgrade to a newer model for a new lease, buy out your current leased vehicle, or walk away and go for any of our new or used vehicles. 

Returning a Leased Car Early

Can you return a leased car early? Most leasing companies will allow it, so you will need to check with the one that you work with. Returning a leased car early doesn’t exempt you from all of the responsibilities. You will still be responsible for paying off the owed amount, including any penalty fees and other fees. However, when you return your lease early, you won’t be responsible for monthly lease payments, and you can still upgrade to a newer lease model if you want.
