When should I start planning my lease return?

A few months before your lease ends. That gives you time for the inspection, any repairs and the best choice of next car.

Is there a charge to turn in my lease?

There can be a turn-in fee if you don’t lease or buy another Audi, plus charges for excess wear or miles. Your contract has the details.

Can I buy my leased Audi?

Yes. You can buy it at the price set in your lease contract, and we can help with financing.

Can I end my lease early?

Sometimes. Ending early can cost money, so ask us to run the numbers first. Moving into a new Audi early is often the simplest route.

What counts as excess wear?

Damage beyond normal use, such as large dents, cracked glass or worn-out tires. Your pre-return inspection report shows anything you might be charged for.

I’m over my miles. What are my options?

You can pay the excess mileage charge, buy the car so the miles don’t matter, or ask us how a new Audi could change the math.

The free pre-return inspection

Audi Financial Services offers a free inspection before you turn in your car, and an inspector can come to you. The report is good for 90 days if no new damage happens. It shows any wear you might be charged for, so you can decide whether to fix it first.

Before you turn it in

Clean the car and remove personal items.
Bring every key, the owner’s manuals, headrests and cargo covers.
Check your mileage against your contract.
If you fix damage after the inspection, keep the receipt.

Thinking about what’s next? Read lease or buy or what’s new for 2027.
