What are My Honda Lease Return Options at the End of My Lease Term?

When your lease term enters the final six months, you generally have three lease return options:

Return and Lease a New Honda

Many drivers choose to return their current lease vehicle and upgrade to a new Honda model from our inventory. This option allows you to:

• Drive a new Honda vehicle with updated safety and tech
• Explore current lease programs
• Review loyalty opportunities through Honda

If you enjoy driving a Honda and want the latest features, returning your lease and starting a new Honda lease is often the most seamless transition.

Purchase Your Current Honda Vehicle

If you love your current vehicle, you may be able to purchase it at the end of your lease agreement. Your lease documents include your purchase option price. Our sales and finance team can review your payoff information and walk you through financing options if needed.

Return Your Lease Vehicle and Walk Away

You may also return your Honda vehicle at the end of your lease term and choose not to lease or purchase another vehicle. As long as your lease agreement obligations are satisfied, this is a straightforward return process.

How Does the Honda Lease Return Process Work?

The lease return process follows a clear timeline. Planning ahead helps you avoid surprises and stay organized.

Two to Three Months Before Your Final Payment

During this window, you should:

• Contact the Lease Maturity Center to review your lease return information
• Schedule your lease vehicle inspection through a licensed inspection company
• Review mileage limits and wear guidelines in your lease agreement

Your inspection identifies any wear that exceeds the Excessive Wear-and-Use or Damage Waiver included in most Honda lease agreements. You are responsible for excess mileage, outstanding payments, and other end-of-term obligations listed in your contract.

After the inspection, you will receive a Vehicle Inspection Report outlining any applicable charges.

One Week Before Your Return

Schedule your appointment with Honda of Fort Myers to complete your lease return. Vehicles must be returned to an authorized Honda dealership if not purchased.

What to Bring to Your Lease Return Appointment

Bring the following items:

• All keys to the vehicle
• Owner’s manual and maintenance records
• Vehicle return receipt
• Vehicle inspection report
• Receipts for completed repairs

Deliver your leased vehicle in a clean condition to streamline the return inspection. After you return the vehicle, contact the Lease Maturity Center to confirm completion of the return.

Can I Do an Early Lease Return?

Yes, an early lease return may be possible, but your options depend on how many months remain on your lease term.

If you are several months away from maturity and want to return early, we recommend:

• Reviewing your lease agreement for payoff details
• Checking your current vehicle value
• Discussing trade opportunities with our dealership

In some situations, you may have positive equity that can be applied toward a new Honda lease or purchase. In other cases, remaining payments or early termination fees may apply. Our team will review your information and provide transparent options.

What Happens During the Lease Vehicle Inspection?

A lease vehicle inspection evaluates condition, mileage limits, and any excess wear.

The inspection typically includes:

• Exterior panels and paint condition
• Interior surfaces and upholstery
• Tires and wheels
• Glass and lighting
• Odometer reading

Normal wear is expected. Excessive damage or mileage beyond your lease agreement limits may result in additional charges. The Vehicle Inspection Report outlines findings so you understand your responsibilities before your final return inspection.

If repairs are recommended, you may choose to complete them before your return appointment.

What If I Am Over My Mileage Limits?

Mileage limits are clearly defined in your lease agreement. If your lease vehicle exceeds those limits, you may be charged per mile over the allowance.

Before your return, you can:

• Review your lease agreement for your per-mile charge
• Evaluate whether purchasing your vehicle makes financial sense
• Discuss trade options with our sales team

Sometimes, purchasing the vehicle may reduce overall costs if the mileage exceeds your contracted amount.

• Clear lease return information

Should I Trade My Lease Vehicle Instead of Returning It?

Trading your lease vehicle can be a smart option, especially if the market value is strong. If your Honda vehicle is worth more than the payoff amount in your lease agreement, you may have equity to apply toward another vehicle.

We recommend:

• Getting a current vehicle appraisal
• Reviewing your payoff amount
• Comparing lease return versus trade value

Our sales department can conduct a quick evaluation and clearly outline your options.
