Items to Bring When Returning a Leased Car

When returning a leased car, the best way to streamline the process is to get everything in order before you drive up. That way, you don’t have to make any return trips to Sussex or Hackettstown. Here are the basics of what you’ll need to bring:

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

If you forget something, like your vehicle inspection report or your maintenance records, there’s a good chance that we’ll have that information on hand. But other items, like your keys, are essential. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any other questions about returning your leased car! 

Steps for Returning a Leased Car

Once you have all of your items in hand, all you have to do is make the drive up from Hamburg! Even if you leased a car at a different location, you can still return it to Mercedes-Benz of Newton. Here are the steps you’ll need to take:

1. Visit our dealership in Newton during normal business hours.
2. Our specialists will conduct an inspection for quality, condition, and other factors.
3. We’ll check your odometer to verify your mileage. Any excessive mileage or wear and tear will be subject to penalty fees.
4. Once the inspection is done, you’re free to move forward. You can leave the dealership, but you also have other options like choosing a new car or buying out your old lease.

Can You Return a Leased Car Early?

So, can you return a leased car early if you want? The answer is usually yes, but it’s a good idea to contact your leasing company to double check. When returning a leased car early, you’ll still need to pay off your owed amount and any penalties that remain. But, you won’t be responsible for your monthly lease payments anymore, and you’ll typically have the same end-of-lease options available. We recommend consulting our finance department for advice if you’re thinking about pursuing this path.
