Save Money Before Returning Your Leased Car
1. Get a professional inspection before turn in
A pre return inspection helps identify issues that could trigger charges. Fixing them ahead of time is often far less expensive than paying lease end penalties.
2. Address visible damage early
Items like paint scratches, dents, windshield chips, and wheel damage are commonly billed as excessive wear. Repairing them in advance can save hundreds.
3. Understand what counts as excessive wear and tear
Not all wear needs to be fixed. Reviewing your lease guidelines helps you avoid spending money on items that may be considered acceptable.
4. Make sure all original equipment is included
Missing floor mats, spare tires, headrests, or tools are frequently charged at inflated replacement costs.
5. Keep maintenance records ready
Proof of regular maintenance helps protect you from added charges or disputes at lease end.
6. Watch your mileage closely
Mileage overages are charged per mile and add up quickly. Planning ahead can prevent a costly surprise.
