What to Bring for Your Lease Return

To ensure a quick and efficient inspection process, please bring the following items to our dealership in Standish:

• Vehicle Inspection Report: If you have already completed a pre-inspection.
• Maintenance Records: Proof of oil changes and other routine service visits.
• All Keys & Spare Keys: Ensure you have all key fobs provided at the start of the lease.
• Owner’s Manual: The original manual provided with the vehicle.
• Repair Receipts: Documentation of any post-accident repairs or major maintenance.

Note: If you are missing any of these items, do not worry—our team can assist you in looking up records during your visit.

The Lease Return Process: Step-by-Step

1. Drop-Off: Bring your vehicle to our dealership. We accept lease returns from any manufacturer, regardless of where the lease was originally signed.
2. Professional Inspection: One of our specialists will conduct an inspection to document the vehicle’s condition, checking for excessive wear and tear or mileage overages.
3. Settlement: We will review any potential charges (such as mileage penalties or damage fees) based on your original lease contract.
4. Your Next Move: Once the inspection is complete, you are free to move forward with your next choice.

Your End-of-Lease Options

Returning Your Lease Early

Can you return a leased car early? Generally, yes. Most leasing companies allow for early termination, but please note that you will be responsible for the remaining balance and any applicable early termination fees as outlined in your contract. By returning early, you eliminate future monthly payments, and you still retain the option to immediately transition into a new lease with the latest Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram models.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I have excessive mileage?

If you exceed the mileage limits set in your lease agreement, you will be subject to a per-mile penalty fee. Our team can help you review your contract to determine if you are near your limit before you arrive.

Do I have to return my lease to the same dealer I bought it from?

No. You can return your leased vehicle to any authorized dealership of that brand. We are proud to accept all lease returns at Richardson Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, regardless of where you initially leased the vehicle.

What constitutes “excess wear and tear”?

Excess wear typically includes major body dents, large windshield cracks, or mechanical issues that fall outside of standard usage. We recommend a pre-inspection to identify any potential issues before your final return date.
