How to Lease a Car

Leasing a Jaguar model means you’re paying for the use of the vehicle for a set time during Cleveland trips. The cost of the lease is determined by the vehicle’s expected depreciation during the lease term, and other required fees and interest charges. So, how does leasing a car work? Here’s what you should keep in mind:

• Leases require you to stay within a set mileage limit. Consider how many miles you spend commuting each year and determine whether the lease terms agree with your driving style. Going over the mileage limit results in additional charges at the end of the lease.
• Leasing a car is often more affordable than financing a model for purchase. Although it is more budget-friendly to lease, it is still a good idea to explore offers and incentives before committing to a lease agreement.
• You are responsible for handling any scheduled maintenance. In addition to staying within the mileage limit, you’ll also need to keep the vehicle as close to factory condition as possible. When you need high-quality service, you can trust the team at the Jaguar Akron service center to maintain the smooth performance of your leased vehicle.

If you own a vehicle, you can trade in your vehicle to help reduce the price of your leased vehicle.

End of Lease Process

Take the time to think about your next steps before your lease draws to a close. You’ll need to schedule a pre-inspection before you turn in the vehicle and consider what you want to do with your leased vehicle next. Your options are: 

• Return your leased car and pick out a new vehicle
• Extend your current lease
• Buy the vehicle that you’ve been leasing
• Return the vehicle and take your next steps elsewhere

If you intend to turn in your vehicle, contact our leasing center to find out exactly what paperwork and vehicle items you need to bring. 

When you have your eye on another model, let us know, and we’ll have the new vehicle ready for you at your lease end. Here are the steps you should follow when turning in your vehicle: 

1. If any issues were discovered during pre-inspection, be sure to fix them or risk charges for excess wear and tear. You should also verify the vehicle’s current mileage for your records. 
2. Your phone syncs easily to your infotainment system. Take the time to wipe your contact or Bluetooth information from the system.
3. Be sure to bring your lease paperwork and any records relating to the services you completed and where they were performed. 
4. You’ll receive a bill for any applicable fees and taxes, but you’re ready to start your next adventure in another leased vehicle.
