Lease-End Options
So you're approaching the end of the lease term on your Toyota model, and you're wondering what you can and should to once that date arrives. You'll have a number of lease-end options available to you, and what you ultimately do depends on a variety of factors. Shore Toyota is here to help you decide which lease-end options are best for you!
Lease Options
Option 1.
Turn in Your Toyota and Start a New
Lease

Perhaps the most obvious choice when your current Toyota lease ends is to turn in your current vehicle and pick up a brand-new Toyota model to enjoy for the next two to three years. You can either trade up for a new model year of your current model, or jump into a different Toyota model for a completely new experience.
Option 2.
Purchase the Vehicle You are Leasing
If you've truly fallen in love with your current Toyota model, you'll have the option to buy out the lease and own the vehicle outright! Get your payoff quote from Toyota Financial Services so you know what to expect, and you can arrange any financing you might need by visiting our dealership!

Option 3.
Return Your Toyota and Move On

Even if you didn't pick up your Toyota lease at our dealership, you can return it to our dealership when your lease term ends. If you're not interested in another Toyota model, we're sorry to see you go! And if you decide to rejoin the Toyota family we'll always be here to help.
Wear & Use Protection
At the beginning of the lease process, you're typically given the option for Excess Wear and Tear Protection. This guarantees you protection from unforeseen wear and tear that goes above and beyond what the manufacturer typically prefers on lease models. You'll be in great shape to avoid most charges as you're covered for:
- Each eligible event valued at $1,000 or less
- Each eligible missing part of equipment valued at $200 or less
- Up to $5,000 in excess wear and use charges
Even if you didn't purchase Excess Wear and Use Protection, we're still happy to help you out! You can schedule a complimentary inspection appointment with AutoVIN so there won't be any surprise repair needs at lease-end.
Mileage
If you're curious about your mileage allowance, you can find out the number by looking at your lease agreement. If you can find it, you can reach out to us and we'll happily give you the information. If you go over the mileage amount, you may be responsible for paying any overages you incur. Most lease mileage allowances range from 10,000 to 15,000-miles.
Inspection FAQs
What is a Lease-End Inspection?

What to Watch For
Your lease terms specify a set number of miles as well as provisions for damage beyond typical wear and tear. Driving beyond your mileage allowance or incurring damage that requires a repair may affect your lease termination or result in additional fees. Schedule an inspection ahead of your lease-end date in order to know exactly where you stand prior to your final lease end date. Remember, you'll need your toolkit and spare tire, all sets of keys, the owners manual, and all original equipment in order to end your lease smoothly.
