Returning a Leased Car

Can you return a leased car early? If it’s been a while since you’ve shopped for a car around greater Strathmore, it’s perfectly understandable if you can’t remember the differences between leasing vs. buying. At Capital Chevrolet Buick GMC, we break down the different benefits of each strategy to customers like yourself every day. Take a moment to review their differences below. Then, explore our new inventory, apply for financing, and contact us to schedule a test drive in Calgary!

Items to Bring When Returning a Leased Car

When you return your leased vehicle to our dealership near Okotoks, you’ll want to be sure that you have some necessary items that will help the lease return process go as smoothly as possible. Here is what you’ll want to bring with you to the dealership: 

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

If you forget any of these items or can’t find them, then we can look up most of these items for you. Reach out to us for any other questions on what to bring before you return your lease. 

Returning a Leased Car Step by Step: The Process

Once you’ve gotten ahold of the necessary materials listed above, all you have to do to return your lease is bring it by our dealership! You can even return a leased car to us if you leased it from another dealership around Airdrie. Once you’re at the dealership, here’s how the rest of the return process will go:

1. You’ll drop off your vehicle at our dealership. 
2. One of our specialists will inspect the vehicle for damage, overall quality, and other important factors. 
3. Any extra kilometers on the odometer that exceed the restrictions or any wear and tear are subject to penalty fees. 
4. Once the inspection process of your vehicle is complete, you can upgrade to a newer model for a new lease, buy out your current leased vehicle, or walk away and go for any of our new or used vehicles. 

Returning a Leased Car Early

Sometimes, a driver may wish to turn in their leased car before the contract expires. Can you return a leased car early? Generally, returning a leased car early is allowed, but you should check with your leasing company first. When you end a car lease early, you are still responsible for paying off the remaining balance and any penalty fees. 

Let the finance team know if there are any other questions that we can answer for you, and drop off your lease to our dealership in Calgary.
