Lease Return & Renewal Options

The Lease Return Process

Before you come in, you will want to take some steps to ensure the lease return goes smoothly. Here's a helpful checliist:

• Take any personal belongings out of the vehicle
• Ensure the owners manual is in the car
• Make sure the all original equipment (floor mats, headrests, 3rd row seat if applicable, etc) are in the vehicle
• Gather all sets of keys to bring with you
• Check your vehicle for any excessive wear and tear. Make necessary repairs or be prepared to discuss options for repairs with our team.

When you arrive at our dealership, we will get in touch with the lease company, who will schedule an inspection to assess the vehicle and send you a final bill for any remaining payments or excess wear and tear if applicable.

FAQs About Your Lease End Options

What should I do before my lease ends?

Now, we all know that most car leases run somewhere from 24 to 48 months, at which point they reach lease maturation and you're obliged to return it. However, it's a good idea to pencil in time on your calendar about one or two months before the end of your lease for a pre-lease end inspection at the dealership you intend to return your vehicle to. The pre-lease end inspection is a great way to ensure there aren't any surprises when you finally come in to return your lease. It's also a great time to chat with the team here at Dorsch Ford Lincoln Kia about your lease end options. Our team will go over your vehicle to inspect for excess wear and tear, and we'll be happy to review your lease with you to ensure there aren't any outstanding fees, penalties, or lease payments that you'll need to account for before the end of your lease. If you're looking to get the most out of your pre-lease end inspection, it's a good idea to have your car washed and detailed before you drop in.

Can I renew my lease?

In many cases, you absolutely can! You'll just need to talk with one of our leasing associates about the opportunity, but in many cases, you'll be able to extend the lease on your current car provided you adhere to the same limitations on wear and tear and mileage.

Do I have to return my lease to the same dealer I initially leased from?

Not at all! Provided you're returning your lease to an authorized and participating dealer of that same brand, you can return your lease practically anywhere. In fact, we've accepted lease returns from Ford, Kia, and Lincoln lessees all over the greater Green Bay area and beyond, so it's no trouble at all to ensure your lease return goes smoothly.
