Lease Return Process

Leasing is an ideal way for most drivers to commute through Ventura because of the lower tax rate and the lower monthly payments. However, there comes a time in Oxnard when leases end and you have to bring your leased car back to Ventura Toyota. What’s the process of returning a leased car like? Ventura Toyota explains the full process for you below.

How To Return a Leased Car

In Santa Barbara you won’t face too much difficulty in returning your leased vehicle, but you should get your papers in order as the end of lease date approaches. We’re going to go through a few common questions that people ask in the lease return process, but you should always follow up with your dealer when you return your leased car. 

When you bring your vehicle in during its end of lease period, it’ll be given an inspection to ensure that there are no mileage overages and the car is in good condition. You’re going to need to bring all original vehicle parts and accessories that were given to you at the start of the lease. This includes all keys, the owner’s manual, your floor mats, your spare tire, and anything else that came with the new leased car. You’re going to want to remove personal items from the car prior to inspection.

Once you bring your car back, you’ve got a few options:

• You can return your vehicle and select a new lease
• You can return your vehicle and opt not to get a new lease
• You can purchase your leased vehicle from the dealership, upgrading from lessee to owner

Depending on what you select, you might walk away entirely from the dealership or have a new lease or financing plan for your Camarillo drive.
