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

Returning a Leased Car Step-by-Step

As long as you’ve done your homework, returning a leased car is as simple as bringing it into our dealership in Fairfield, CT. However, there are a couple of things that you should do before you actually come in to deliver the vehicle:

1. Schedule a pre-inspection with our team or a trusted local mechanic. They can look over the vehicle and tell you if you should expect excess wear charges. This gives you a chance to make repairs before you are billed.
2. If you can tell us what vehicle you’d like to have next, we can try to ensure that it’s available when you arrive. If you plan on purchasing a new vehicle, it may be a good idea to place an order well in advance.

If you’re ready to return the vehicle, and you’ve gathered up all of the required items, just take these steps:

1. Bring the vehicle to our lease return center and fill out an odometer statement.
2. You can choose to start a new lease, buy a different vehicle, or take your next steps elsewhere. Of course, you can also buy out your lease and take home the vehicle you’ve been driving.
3. One of our service experts will inspect the vehicle for damage, wear, and tear. We’ll also make sure that your mileage is lower than the amount allotted by your contract. It may take some time for you to receive a final bill.

Returning a Leased Car Early

Can you return a leased car early? Different lessors have different rules and requirements, but returning a leased car early won’t necessarily absolve you of what you owe on the vehicle. You may also have to pay certain penalty fees. Depending on your needs, buying out the lease or finding another driver who can take over your lease may be better options than turning the vehicle in early.
