Frequently Asked Questions About Honda Lease Returns
Where can I turn in my Honda lease and what are my options at lease end?
You can return your lease at Moss Bros. Honda of Moreno Valley (27990 Eucalyptus Ave, Moreno Valley, CA 92555), even if you didn't lease your vehicle here. Schedule your free pre-return inspection during the last two months of your lease. At lease end, you can:
- Return it and lease or buy a new Honda.
- Return it with no purchase. You're responsible for any excess wear, mileage, or other obligations in your lease.
- Buy your leased Honda. No inspection is needed, and financing is available.
Can I return my Honda lease early?
Yes, early lease returns may be possible. However, depending on your lease agreement, an early return may involve an early termination fee or remaining lease payments. Our team can review your lease and help you understand your available options.
What happens if I exceed the mileage limit?
If you exceed your lease's mileage allowance, you may be responsible for excess mileage charges based on the per-mile rate outlined in your lease agreement. Our team can also discuss your options if you're considering purchasing your leased Honda or trading it in before your lease ends.
Do I need to complete a pre-return inspection?
Yes. Honda recommends completing your complimentary pre-return inspection during the final two months of your lease. The inspection identifies excess wear and tear, tire condition, and other items that may result in lease-end charges, giving you time to address them before returning your vehicle.
Can I purchase my leased Honda instead of returning it?
Yes. If you've grown attached to your Honda, purchasing your leased vehicle may be a great option. Our finance team can explain the lease buyout process, review your purchase options, and help you secure financing if needed.
When should I start preparing for my Honda lease return?
You should begin preparing for your Honda lease return about six months before your lease ends. Planning ahead gives you time to monitor your mileage, schedule your complimentary pre-return inspection, address any excessive wear and tear, and explore your lease-end options.
Do I need an appointment?
Yes. We recommend scheduling both your complimentary lease inspection and your lease return appointment to help ensure a smooth and efficient experience.
What documents should I bring?
When you return your Honda lease, bring all keys and key fobs, your lease account information, lease agreement, maintenance and service records (if available), and any accessories that came with the vehicle. Be sure to remove all personal belongings before your appointment.
What happens during the lease inspection?
During your lease inspection, your Honda will be evaluated for excess wear and tear, tire condition, windshield damage, missing equipment, and mileage. The inspection helps identify any potential lease-end charges before you return your vehicle.
What counts as excessive wear?
Examples of excessive wear include large dents, cracked windshields, balding tires, torn upholstery, bumper scrapes, missing keys, cracked lights, broken mirrors, and other damage beyond normal everyday use.
Should I repair damage before returning my lease?
In many cases, yes. Repairing damage before returning your leased Honda may cost less than paying lease-end excess wear charges. Our team can help you determine whether making repairs before your lease return is the right choice.
What if my tires are worn?
Excessively worn or damaged tires may result in lease-end charges. Replacing them before returning your leased Honda may help you avoid additional fees and make the lease return process smoother.
Is buying my leased Honda a good idea?
Buying your leased Honda can be a great option if you enjoy your vehicle, it's in good condition, and the buyout price makes financial sense. Our finance team can help you compare purchasing your current Honda with leasing or buying a new vehicle.
Can I return my Honda lease if I didn't lease it here?
Yes. You can return your Honda lease to Moss Bros. Honda Moreno Valley even if you leased it from another dealership. Simply schedule your complimentary pre-return inspection during the final two months of your lease, and our team will help guide you through the lease return process.
What happens after I return my Honda?
Once your lease return is complete, you can lease a new Honda, purchase your current leased Honda, shop our new or pre-owned inventory, or simply return your vehicle if you no longer need one. Our team can help you explore the option that best fits your needs.
Can I return my Honda lease to any Honda dealership?
In many cases, yes. Most Honda leases can be returned to a Honda dealership, even if you leased your vehicle from a different location. Before your lease ends, you'll typically need to schedule a complimentary pre-return inspection and complete the required lease-end paperwork. If you have questions about your specific lease, our team is happy to help guide you through the process.
Do I have to buy another Honda when I return my lease?
No. You can simply return your leased Honda at the end of your lease. While we'd be happy to help you lease or purchase another Honda or another vehicle from our inventory, you're under no obligation to do so.
At Moss Bros. Honda, we make the lease return process straightforward. Whether you're returning your vehicle, purchasing your lease, or moving into a new Honda, our team can help you understand your options and timing.
