How to get out of a car lease early
A lease transfer can be one option for leaving a lease early, but it is not the only path.
Common options
Ask about transfer eligibility, request an early termination quote, compare buyout value, or discuss options directly with the leasing company.
Why transfers are popular
A transfer may help avoid some early termination costs if the leasing company allows it and a qualified buyer takes over.
Buyer checklist
- Verify payment, months remaining, mileage allowance, and current mileage.
- Confirm transfer eligibility, fees, and credit approval with the leasing company.
- Inspect the vehicle and review condition, tires, accident history, and documents.
- Keep payments and incentives documented through a safe process.
Seller checklist
- Confirm your lease can be transferred before listing.
- Use accurate payment, term, mileage, fee, and leasing-company details.
- Add clear photos and disclose condition issues upfront.
- Point buyers to the official leasing-company transfer process.
