Our finance center is here to help you learn how returning a leased car works and explore your end-of-lease options.

Preparing for a Lease Return

You’ll find that returning a leased car is a breeze, but there are some necessary items you should bring to make the return process easier. When visiting a Houston-area dealership, you’ll want to bring these items:

• Vehicle inspection report
• Repair receipts
• Keys/spare keys
• Owner’s manual
• Maintenance records

If you’re unable to find these items or you forget them, we may be able to look up these items for you. Be sure to reach out with any questions you have when returning your leased car early.

How Returning a Leased Car Works

Thankfully, returning your leased vehicle is as simple as visiting a Bethel Park-area dealership. Even if you’ve leased from another dealership, you can still turn in your leased vehicle at South Hills Toyota for a quick return process. Here’s what that process looks like:

1. Deliver your vehicle to our dealership.
2. Our specialists will thoroughly inspect the vehicle’s overall quality, whether it received any damage, and other important factors.
3. The odometer will be checked against your lease terms to determine if it went over the mileage limit and if there’s any wear or tear that requires penalty fees.
4. After the inspection is complete, you’ll have the opportunity to upgrade your commutes with a newly leased vehicle, buy out your current leased vehicle, or browse any of our new or used vehicles in our inventory.

Can You Return a Leased Car Early?

How can you return a leased car early? It depends on the specific terms you’ve established with the leasing company, however, most companies allow you to return a leased car early. An early return can mean that you’re responsible for paying off your owed amount as well as any penalty fees and other fees. Once you’ve returned the vehicle, you won’t be responsible for monthly lease payments and you’ll still be able to upgrade to a newer leased model if you want to.
