Items to Bring When Returning a Leased Car

Returning a Leased Car Step by Step

Returning your leased vehicle can be a simple process, assuming you have everything you need to complete the return. Even if you didn’t lease your vehicle at Hendrick Cadillac Cary, you can bring your car to us and we’ll complete the return. How does the car lease return process work? Here’s a quick overview: 

  1. Drop the car off at our Cary dealership. 
  2. One of our team members will inspect the vehicle for damage and overall quality. 
  3. If there are extra miles on the odometer or excess wear and tear — beyond what was agreed upon in the leasing contract — you may have to pay a penalty. 
  4. After the inspection is finished, you can swap your current vehicle for another new Cadillac, buy your leased vehicle outright, or simply walk away. 

Returning a Leased Car Early

If you want to return your leased vehicle early, the first thing you’ll want to do is contact your leasing company and make sure it’s acceptable. Most leasing companies permit an early lease return, but some may have issues with the timing. Keep in mind, though, that if you return your leased vehicle early, you’ll be responsible for any remaining balances and fees.
