Volkswagen Lease-End FAQs

What happens if I exceed my Volkswagen lease mileage?

Most Volkswagen leases include a mileage allowance. If you exceed the mileage stated in your lease agreement, excess mileage charges may apply when you return the vehicle. If you're approaching your mileage limit, contact our team before your lease ends to discuss your options.

What is considered excess wear and tear on a leased Volkswagen?

Normal wear and tear is expected, but significant damage may result in charges when you return your leased Volkswagen. Examples can include substantial dents or scratches, damaged wheels, cracked glass, excessive interior damage or tires that need replacement. A lease-end inspection can help you understand the condition of your vehicle before returning it.

Can I return my Volkswagen lease early?

Early lease termination may be possible, but fees or other costs can apply depending on the terms of your lease. Before returning your Volkswagen early, talk with our finance team about your options so you can understand any potential charges.

Can I lease another Volkswagen when my current lease ends?

Absolutely. If you love your Volkswagen, you can explore leasing another new Volkswagen when your current lease ends. Our team can help you compare current Volkswagen models, lease programs and available options.

When should I start preparing for my Volkswagen lease to end?

It's a good idea to start thinking about your options several months before your lease expires. Starting early gives you time to review your mileage, address potential wear and tear, schedule an inspection and explore your next vehicle.

Do I need to have my Volkswagen inspected before returning it?

A lease-end inspection can help identify potential excess wear and tear before you return your vehicle. If an inspection is available through your lease program, our team can help you understand when and how to schedule it.

What should I bring when I return my leased Volkswagen?

When returning your Volkswagen, make sure you have all of the items that came with the vehicle, including keys, remotes and applicable equipment or accessories. Your lease provider may have additional return requirements, so review your lease-end instructions before your appointment.

What happens after I return my leased Volkswagen?

Once your Volkswagen is returned, it will be processed according to the terms of your lease agreement. Depending on your situation, you may have remaining charges related to mileage, wear and tear or other lease terms. If you're getting another vehicle, our team can also help you transition into your next Volkswagen.
