Items to Bring When Returning a Leased Car

When you’re ready to return your leased vehicle to the dealership, there are some items that you should make sure to bring with you. Although it’s best if you bring these yourself, to make the process as smooth as possible for everyone, we can locate some of the items for you if necessary.

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

Returning a Leased Car Step by Step

Once you have the necessary items with you, returning a leased car is quite literally as easy as dropping it back off at the dealership. You can even return it to Ocean Honda Santa Cruz if you leased your car from a different dealership around Aptos! Here’s a step-by-step process of what to expect at the dealership:

1. You’ll drop off your vehicle at our dealership. 
2. One of our specialists will inspect the vehicle for damage, overall quality, and other important factors. 
3. We’ll also take a look at the odometer – any extra miles that exceed the restrictions are subject to penalty fees, as are any signs of wear and tear on the vehicle.
4. Once the inspection process of your vehicle is complete, you have a few options: you can buy out the leased vehicle, upgrade to a newer model with a new lease, or walk away and check out our inventory of new and used Honda models.

What About Returning a Leased Car Early?

Wondering if you can return a leased car early? In many cases, you can! Be sure to check with your leasing company for specifics, but plenty of companies allow for early returns. However, be aware that if you choose to return your leased car early, you’ll still be on the hook to pay off the owed amount – including any fees incurred. If you choose to return your lease early, you’ll no longer be responsible for monthly lease payments. You also have the option of upgrading to a newer lease model to replace your current lease.
