Returning a Leased Car: What to Bring with You

Obviously, you can just drop your car off at a Huntington Beach or Irvine area dealership. But having a few items handy will help the process speed along. Locate and bring these with you:

 

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

If you can’t find these items, don’t fret: we’ll be happy to look them up for you. Just contact your lease dealer to figure out what to do.

Returning a Leased Car: Step by Step

Unlike buying a car, leasing a car involves a return process after the end of the lease term. You can actually return your leased vehicle at Honda World Westminster if you’ve leased it from another Costa Mesa dealership! Here’s how returning a leased car works:

  1. Bring your vehicle to the dealership
  2. A specialist inspects the vehicle for its overall condition, assessing any damage or potential operating issues.
  3. They’ll also check the odometer, as leases come with mileage restrictions. You’ll have to pay a fee if you went over the mileage limit.
  4. They’ll check for wear and tear that could result in penalty fees.

Once they’ve inspected your vehicle, you can do the following:

  1. Buy the vehicle you’ve leased
  2. Get a newer model or even find deals in used vehicle specials

Returning a Leased Car Early

Can you return a leased car early? In most cases, you can return a leased car early, but you should check with your leasing company. Should you return your vehicle early, you have to pay off the owed amount plus any fees. Of course, you will no longer have to commit to monthly payments.
