If it’s time to return your Mazda lease, you may be wondering if it must go back to the originating Mazda dealership. If you no longer live where you initially leased the vehicle, that can be inconvenient, so what should you do? Brown and Wood Mazda can help with this question and every other aspect of the lease return process.
How Does the Lease-End Process Work?
You’ll receive a letter 90 days before your lease ends outlining the return process and where to return your vehicle. Although Mazda typically requires leased cars to be returned to the originating dealer, they can be returned to a different Mazda dealership. If you’ve moved since lease inception, we suggest contacting your nearest dealership to confirm they can accept the car.
Determine What to Do at The End of the Lease
Returning the leased vehicle is one of the various options available at the end of the lease is just one of the multiple options available. Additional options at the end of a car lease include:
- Buy out the lease for the price stipulated at lease inception.
- Extend the lease if you’re unsure what you want your next steps to be.
- Purchase or lease another Mazda model.
Schedule Lease-End Inspections
Yes, inspections, plural. The first should take place about 30 days before you turn the vehicle in, giving you time to make any necessary repairs and helping you avoid wear-and-tear penalties. The other will be a final inspection when you turn in your car; clean it out thoroughly beforehand, ensuring you don’t leave any belongings behind.
