Volkswagen Lease Options Explained

Misinformation about Volkswagen lease terms ranges from "Leasing is just throwing money away," to "Mileage restrictions are so low, you'll always end up paying overages." To help our customers in Kennesaw, GA, make the most informed decisions possible, our team at Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Kennesaw is here to clarify the ins and outs of Volkswagen leasing. If you're torn between leasing and financing, this page outlines the facts about Volkswagen leasing options, including details about VW lease GAP insurance and how to avoid a VW over-mileage charge.

Common Misconceptions About Your Volkswagen Lease

1. A Volkswagen Lease Wastes Your Money: Leasing a VW vehicle is not the same as throwing away your hard-earned money. Your monthly lease payments cover the depreciation of your vehicle's value during the lease term.
2. Leasing Never Leads to Ownership: While leasing, your car's title belongs to your loan provider – just as it would if you'd financed. However, at the end of your Volkswagen lease, you are welcome to purchase your vehicle for its residual value.
3. Insurance Won't Help if a Leased Car Is Totaled: Every Volkswagen lease comes with GAP insurance, a protection that works similarly to traditional auto insurance and pays the difference between your car's market value and the lease payments you've already made.
4. GAP Insurance Premiums Are Higher Than Normal: Insurance rates for a leased vehicle are typically the same as rates for a financed model. Coverage and deductibles should also remain the same.

Benefits of a Volkswagen Lease

Volkswagen leasing also comes with safety, comfort, and technology perks. Your Volkswagen lease opens the door to a brand-new sedan or SUV, so you'll enjoy the latest VW safety systems in the IQ.DRIVE suite. You'll also appreciate the comfortable yet contemporary atmosphere of a VW cabin, many of which can be fitted with massaging seats, ambient mood lighting, and ventilated leather upholstery. A Volkswagen lease will also ensure you'll take home the most innovative VW technology, from seamless smartphone integration to Adaptive Cruise Control.

Understanding Volkswagen Lease Mileage Options

Every Jim Ellis Volkswagen lease includes a mileage limit; without this restriction, we couldn't accurately estimate a car's depreciation to help provide a fair monthly rate. However, we encourage you to discuss your driving habits and lifestyle with our team at signing to ensure your Volkswagen lease terms suit your needs.

If you do exceed your annual mileage limit, you'll have two choices in how to proceed. You can either purchase additional miles from our dealership to increase your limit or incur a small VW lease over-mileage cost, typically $0.20 per mile. Your specific Volkswagen lease mileage options will be outlined in your paperwork, but you can also ask our team for details before heading home with your new car.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do VW leases include GAP insurance?

Yes, VW lease GAP insurance is an important part of what makes our Volkswagen lease incentives so appealing to Kennesaw drivers. If a different dealership won't offer GAP insurance for your leased model, the proposed lease terms may be less competitive. GAP insurance makes sure the beautiful new vehicle you drive home will be protected in case of a complex collision.

Is lease GAP insurance worth it?

Most automotive industry experts believe that GAP insurance is valuable. If your vehicle is totaled but you carry GAP insurance, your standard auto policy will reimburse you for its current value, and GAP insurance will cover any difference between that amount and your remaining loan balance. Our team can thoroughly explain GAP coverage when you visit our Kennesaw, GA, dealership.

How much does Volkswagen charge for extra miles on a lease?

The VW lease over-mileage cost typically ranges from $0.20 to $0.35 per mile. To avoid unnecessary mileage charges, discuss your driving habits with our team at lease-signing and do not exceed your lease agreement's maximum mileage. If you expect to drive farther than your lease allows, you may be able to purchase additional miles from our dealership to avoid overage charges.

Does Volkswagen have a disposition fee?

At the end of your Volkswagen lease, you have the option to turn in your vehicle and not purchase or lease another. In this case, you may incur a disposition fee to help cover our dealership's costs of refurbishing it for future sale. However, a disposition fee may be waived if you choose to lease or finance another Volkswagen model or if you're using Volkswagen credit.
