Returning a Leased Car to Estero Bay Chevrolet

If you lease a vehicle in the Naples area and your lease term is coming to an end, you might be wondering about the process of returning your vehicle. Returning a leased car is a straightforward process as long as you bring the necessary materials and return the vehicle on time–although sometimes you can return your lease early. The finance team at Estero Bay Chevrolet has all the details on the process of returning a leased car in the guide below!

What Should I Bring When Returning a Leased Car?

The first step to returning your lease in Bonita Springs is to make sure you have the necessary materials. It’s important that you bring the following to the dealership along with your vehicle to expedite the return process:

• Maintenance Records
• Owner’s Manual
• Keys/Spare Keys
• Repair Receipts
• Vehicle Inspection Report

Returning a Leased Car in 4 Easy Steps

Once you’ve gathered the materials above, all you have to do is bring your car, truck, or SUV to our dealership! You can even return a vehicle that you’ve leased at another dealership. Once you’re at the dealership, this is what you can expect:

• Bring in your lease. You’ll drop off your vehicle at our dealership.
• Get your vehicle checked. Once you arrive, a member of our service team will inspect your vehicle and evaluate it for damage, overall quality, and other factors.
• Calculate fees. If you’ve put any extra miles on the odometer, incurred unnecessary wear and tear, or added accessories to your vehicle, you’ll be charged fees outlined in your lease agreement. 
• Upgrade, purchase, or return. Once the inspection process is complete, you have a few options. You can buy out your leased vehicle, upgrade to a newer model year, or check out another vehicle in our new or pre-owned inventory!

Can You Return a Leased Car Early?

If your lease term hasn’t come to an end, but you still want to return your vehicle, you might be wondering: can you return a leased car early? Don’t worry–most lenders will allow you to return a lease early, but there are strings attached. You’ll still be responsible for paying off the vehicle and paying any penalty fees incurred during the lease (as we discussed above). You may also have to pay a fee for returning the lease early, although the rules differ between companies.
