How to Return Your Jeep Lease

What steps should you take before your lease comes to maturity on your Jeep vehicle? Good question. Knowing and understanding what steps to take prior to and at your turn-in appointment will help make the entire process easier and more efficient for everyone. Not only will you save time at your appointment, you will also likely save money by knowing the actual condition of your vehicle. Your goal leading into your turn-in appointment should be to know exactly what to expect from the process and to come away happy with the whole thing. That means knowing of any additional costs that may be incurred even before they are brought up and knowing your lease responsibilities inside and out.

When Does The Process Start and Where Does It End?

When it comes to the process of a lease, the steps that need to be completed leading up to your end of lease turn-in are outlined in a way that makes sense. The process starts at approximately 90 days prior to lease-end and continues to the termination. At the 90 day mark, it's time to start thinking about what happens at the end of the lease in terms of your current and possible next vehicle. At around the 60-day mark you should start by conducting a lease end pre-inspection by contacting the Chrysler Capital Allegiance Team. This will help you to identify any issues that need to be repaired or the presence of any excess wear or damage that must be addressed. At 30 days, you should have a potential new vehicle picked out and the process started for your purchase or lease of said vehicle.

Getting Your Jeep Prepared For Turn In

Preparing your vehicle for turn-in is more than just paperwork, it is about preparation. One of the most important tasks is to ensure your vehicle is clean inside and outside. Next, any and all personal items should be removed from the vehicle. Additionally, any items that were present when the vehicle was delivered are present for the turn in (Things like keys, fobs, mats, headphones, etc…). Furthermore, any excess wear or damage that has been identified through the pre-inspection should be fixed. Other things to consider include stopping automatic lease payments at the correct time, actually scheduling your appointment to complete your turn-in, and starting the process for your next vehicle if you haven't yet.

Knowing Your Lease Responsibilities

At your turn-in appointment, in order to avoid unnecessary surprises and costs knowing the condition of your vehicle and what that means is important. That is easy using online tools like our wear tool and its subsequent table to help you know exactly where your vehicle sits in terms of condition and overall wear. Additionally, knowing your lease responsibilities when it comes to things like your vehicle's mileage allowance and what normal wear constitutes will help you determine whether you will be subject to additional fees at your lease turn-in.

Your Turn In Appointment

When the time comes to turn in your Jeep after its lease, the process is relatively simple and will take very little time to complete once you reach the dealership. Using the tools and timeline available to you, you should be at the perfect spot at this point in your lease. At the turn-in, you will be required to fulfill any final financial commitments that you may have with your lease in terms of excess wear and mileage, fill out the necessary paperwork for the vehicle’s turn-in, the outright purchase, or complete the process for a new lease. That is all that it takes to complete your turn-in process and return your Jeep at the end of its lease.
