Get An Early Start: What Should I Do Before My Lease Ends?

A few weeks before your lease terms officially end, schedule an inspection, where an expert analyzes your ride for any potential excess wear and tear damages you’ll need to pay—at the end of the meeting, you’ll receive a report of the repairs you can make now to help reduce your fees. For this meeting, all we need are your keys, manuals, and records—but keep in mind this simple inspection could save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

At this time, you can also calculate your mileage balance by multiplying your excess miles by the allowance in your lease. If you have a few miles left over, you can usually apply the excess mileage for savings if you choose to lease again—so, plan your remaining trips carefully.

My Lease Is Officially Over: What Are My Options?

Once your lease terms come to a close, you’ll usually have three Nissan end-of-lease options to choose from: Did you fall in love with the drive? Your first choice involves buying the car you just leased. Keep in mind this option involves paying a residual value instead of market value—so even if you plan to re-lease, you’ll still want to run the numbers to see if you can earn a few dollars by buying the vehicle and reselling it.

Want to drive a new ride? Lease a different Nissan vehicle—even if you’re jumping from a Nissan Rogue to a Maxima, there’s virtually no restriction on the cruisers you’re allowed to lease. Plus, you can even waive a few fees by starting a new lease contract to help you save more.

Ready to call it quits with leasing? That’s also fine—just return your vehicle, pay all remaining fees, and you’re good to go. However, keep in mind you’ll sometimes need to pay extra fees if you plan a Nissan early lease return vs. returning on the date in your contract.
