Volkswagen Lease Returns Explained: Easy as 1-2-3

Returning your leased Volkswagen vehicle is a straightforward process that presents you with several flexible arrangements. You’ll start by bringing your model back to our dealership, and from there, we’ll provide no-pressure assistance with deciding which path is right for you going forward.

We recommend scheduling an appointment to return your lease, as this will ensure that our staff is available to inspect your vehicle, help you explore your options, and guide you through any paperwork. However, you can also stop by or call ahead to see if we have any walk-in availability.

After you return your lease, you’ll have several lease-end options – we’ll get into those details next. Remember that as your local authorized VW lease-return center, we can handle your return, answer questions, and set you on the next step of your automotive journey.

Your Volkswagen Lease-End Options

When you return your leased Volkswagen, you get to decide what comes next. Here are some of the most common routes for your consideration:

• Upgrade to a New Volkswagen: Part of the allure of leasing is having the opportunity to upgrade to one of the latest automobiles every few years. When your lease ends, you can opt to start a new lease or loan on one of our new Volkswagen vehicles to enjoy the automaker’s most modern innovations.
• Consider a Pre-Owned Vehicle: Pre-owned vehicles are generally less expensive than new models and can be an exceptional investment. Our finance team can set up qualified buyers with an auto loan on any of our used or certified pre-owned cars.
• Buy Out Your Lease: We’ll discuss this option in more detail below, but you often have the option to buy the vehicle you’ve been driving for a predetermined price that’s outlined in your lease agreement.
• Walk Away: While we have plenty of ways to get into a fresh set of wheels at a competitive price, you can always opt to walk away obligation-free after resolving any outstanding fees at the end of your contract.

How the VW Lease Return Process Works

Here at Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Kennesaw, we strive to make the lease-return process simple. You can expect to go through the following steps:

1. Schedule Your Lease Inspection: The first step is to schedule an appointment – it usually takes less than 30 minutes – so we can evaluate the condition of your vehicle.
2. Review Mileage: A technician or specialist will take down your mileage on the odometer to determine if your lease agreement is subject to excess mileage fees.
3. Choose Your Next Path: As you prepare to return the leased model, you can get started on the next steps, whether you decide to start another lease, finance a new or used vehicle, buy out your model, or pursue other avenues.
4. Return Your Vehicle: You’ll officially return your vehicle on an agreed-upon date, and, provided you’ve already started the process, we can set you up with your next set of wheels.

If you have any questions, our team is happy to provide answers and address concerns.

Volkswagen Lease Buyout Options

We’ve mentioned lease buy-outs above, but what exactly does that mean? When you choose this route, you’ll pay the residual value of your vehicle – its estimated worth – to become the owner. You can do this outright or by securing a loan.

Lease buy-outs are designed for drivers who have fallen in love with their VW vehicle over the course of their agreement and aren’t ready to say goodbye. We recommend discussing your financing eligibility with our experts prior to your return date so you’re prepared when the contract matures.
