Preparing for Your Volvo End-of-Lease Date

90 Days Prior
Browse New Inventory / Consider Buying Your Leased Car / Request Extension
Three months before your lease closes, we recommend browsing our inventory of brand-new iterations to see if any updates or additions to the Volvo family catch your eye. For many of our customers, this is the most exciting Volvo end-of-lease period, because it's all about shopping for another car they'd like to lease – or thinking about how to buy and keep the one they already have. You can also consider requesting a lease extension if you are planning to order a new Volvo model. If you want to buy out your leased vehicle or extend your lease, get in touch with us as soon as possible.
60 Days Prior
Schedule Your Inspection / Make Repairs / Collect Paperwork
At two months out, it's time to schedule your Volvo end-of-lease inspection at our dealership if you decide to return your vehicle or start a new lease. You can book this appointment in person or by phone. Your inspection will identify excessive wear and tear, giving you ample time to make repairs before your final lease return. This is also the perfect opportunity to start gathering any documents, key fobs, or other items that were sent home with you at lease signing, so they can be turned in when you visit.
30 Days Prior
Schedule Your Lease Return
Your actual lease-return date is separate from your end-of-lease inspection appointment; please schedule it one month before your lease closes. When booking your visit, you'll need to supply your vehicle's current odometer reading to make sure you haven't exceeded your annual mileage limits. This is also a great time to start removing personal items from your automobile, like parking passes or loose change.
Day of Lease Return
Bring In Your Vehicle / Confirm Your Lease-End Option
If you choose to return your car or lease a new model at the end of your lease, you will drive your leased Volvo vehicle to our dealership on the scheduled day and time. Don't forget the documents, key fobs, and any other equipment you gathered previously, because now is the time to return them. Other lease-end options, including purchasing or financing your Volvo car or extending your lease, will undergo a different process that doesn't necessarily require you to visit our dealership. We highly recommend reviewing your lease agreement and contacting us for more details.
Normal End-of-Lease Charges
Any driver returning a leased car instead of purchasing it will typically need to pay a disposition fee of $300 to $500. This payment helps cover the cost of preparing the car for resale. If you've exceeded your annual mileage limit, you can be charged between 15 and 30 cents per extra mile.
How To Avoid Surprise Volvo End-of-Lease Charges
End-of-lease charges get a bad wrap, but if you're prepared, you can minimize them. Keep in mind that you will likely incur fees if you return your leased car with shallow tire treads that fall below the minimum allowable tread depth, chips in its glass, dents in its doors, or upholstery stains and tears.
That said, you can lower your end-of-lease costs significantly by making these repairs before returning your vehicle. You can also contact Volvo Cars Burlingame with any questions.
