LEASE-END WITH EASE

A helpful list of everything you will need to know can be found here.

BEFORE YOUR RETURN

  • Examine possible excessive wear and use on your vehicle and make any necessary repairs.
  • Your originating Dealer is required to accept your return vehicle, however, we recommend contacting your local Mazda dealer to schedule a turn-in appointment for your vehicle.
  • Ensure all contracted payments and miscellaneous fees are paid to MFS.
  • Schedule your complimentary inspection appointment 15 to 60 days before your maturity date. To schedule an inspection, visit AutoVINLive.com to chat with an AutoVIN specialist.
  • Call your local DMV to find out if your state requires license plates to be returned at lease-end.

DURING YOUR RETURN

Bring the following to your lease-return appointment:

  • Toolkit and spare tire, if applicable.
  • All set of keys (master/remote/valet), if applicable.
  • Owner's Manuals.
  • Any original equipment on your vehicle at lease inspection (radio, headrests, 3rd row seat, tonneau/cargo cover, etc.).

Ask the dealer to record the mileage, and do not forget to sign the Odometer Disclosure Statement and ask for a copy.

AT THE DEALERSHIP

  • Confirm the Dealership will accept the return. Only your originating Dealer is required to accept your lease return.
  • Sign an Odometer Statement and ask for a copy for your records. Capture the name of Dealer associate that helped with the return.

AFTER RETURN

  • MFS will send you a Lease End Invoice if you have any unpaid payments, late fees and miscellaneous charges. The invoice will also include Excessive Wear and Use charges, Excessive Mileage charges, and Disposition Fee if applicable. These items may be taxable. (Under certain circumstances, Mazda Financial Services does not charge its lease customers for excess wear and use damage)
  • If you had a Security deposit, it will be returned to your home address via check. It will be used to first pay any Lease End Invoice charges, if applicable.
  • If you make automatic payments through Mazda Financial Services, Cancel Any Electronic Payments.
