Returning a Leased Car Step by Step

Returning your leased vehicle is as simple as dropping it off at our dealership. Keep in mind that you can still return your leased car to Cooley Mazda even if you leased your vehicle from another dealership in the Latham area. Here is how the lease return process goes:

  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. Any extra miles on the odometer that exceed the restrictions or any wear and tear are subject to penalty fees.
  4. Once the inspection process of your vehicle is complete, you can upgrade to a newer model for a new lease, buy out your current leased vehicle, or walk away and go for any of our new or used vehicles.

Returning a Leased Car Early

Can you return a leased car early? You’ll need to check with your specific leasing company, but most companies allow for an early return on a lease. If you do return your lease early, then you’ll be responsible for paying off the owed amount, including any penalty fees and other fees. When you return your lease early, you won’t be responsible for monthly lease payments, and you’ll still have the option of upgrading to a newer lease model if you choose.

Let the finance team know if there are any other questions that we can answer for you, and drop off your lease to our dealership in Rensselaer.
