Is your lease almost up? There’s no need to worry! Earl Stewart Toyota has compiled a handy checklist of everything you need to know about your lease-end options. To start, you’ll have three options upfront for what to do with your Toyota vehicle:

• Turn in your vehicle and either purchase or lease a new Toyota
• Return your vehicle to a Toyota dealership
• Purchase the vehicle you’re currently driving

You may also turn in your lease early, though you’ll need to pay an early return balance. After you choose which of the above options works best for you, review the following checklist to ensure that you’re all set to end your lease!

During Your Inspection & Lease Return

Here’s a list of what to bring when you head to your inspection and lease-return appointments:

1. Toolkit and spare tire (if applicable to your leased vehicle)
2. Any sets of keys for the vehicle
3. Owner’s manual
4. All original equipment that came with your leased vehicle (including radio, headsets, cargo cover, etc.)

Lastly, ask the dealer to record your mileage at your appointment, and be sure to sign the Odometer Disclosure Statement and ask for a copy.

At the Toyota Dealership

1. Reach out to your Palm Beach County-area dealership to confirm that they will accept your lease return. Your originating dealership where you got your vehicle is required to accept the lease return.
2. Sign the Odometer Disclosure Statement and get a copy for your records.
3. If you didn’t already get an inspection by this point, one will be performed within a few days of your lease return.

After Your Lease Return

• Should you have any unpaid payments or late fees, Toyota Financial Services will send you an invoice.
• Contact Toyota Financial Services to see if you qualify to have your Disposition Fee (up to $350) waived.
• If your lease had a security deposit, it will be sent to your home address as a check. If applicable, it will first be used to pay any remaining lease-end charges (if applicable.
• If you are currently making automatic payments through Toyota Financial Services, you can cancel those payments here.
