Lease Return: Documents You Need to Prepare

You will likely receive reminders as your lease expiration date approaches. There may be a lot of jargon and legalese in the communications. When it's time to return a leased car, here's what you need to prepare.

  • Lease Agreement: This is the document you signed with Honda Financial Services.
  • Vehicle Registration: You will need to provide the dealership with up-to-date and valid vehicle registration papers.
  • Valid Identification: You will also need a valid ID, which should be either a state-issued driver's license, a passport, or a state ID card.
  • Insurance Document: Bring a copy of your active insurance card or documentation proving coverage.
  • Service and Maintenance History: Be sure to bring your maintenance and service records with you. Depending on Honda's return policy, the dealership may require it.

What's next after your lease ends?

Your journey doesn't end when your lease ends. Brannon Honda offers a few choices, so you can pick the one that suits you best.
