Lease Return & Lease-End Options in London, Ontario

Is your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram lease coming to an end? Leavens Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in London, Ontario is here to make your lease return simple and stress-free — whether you leased your vehicle from us or from another dealership.

On this page, we explain your main lease-end options, what to expect in the final months of your lease, and how our team can help you decide what makes the most sense for your situation.


We Accept Your Lease Return — Even If You Didn’t Lease Here

You do not have to go back to the original dealership where you signed your lease. At Leavens Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we can often accept your lease return and help you move into your next vehicle.

  • Lease return support for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles.
  • Help understanding your lease agreement and mileage or wear-and-tear terms.
  • Options to lease again, finance, or switch into a new or pre-owned vehicle.

If you’re unsure where to start, our finance and sales teams can review your situation and explain your options in plain language.


Your Main Lease-End Options

As you approach the end of your lease, you typically have three main paths to choose from:

1. Return Your Lease and Lease a New Vehicle

Many drivers simply return their current vehicle and start a new lease.

  • Great for drivers who like to change vehicles every few years.
  • Stay in the latest models with up-to-date technology and safety features.
  • Potential loyalty and lease offers, depending on the manufacturer and timing.

Our team can walk you through current lease options on popular models in our new vehicle inventory, including minivans, SUVs, and trucks.

2. Buy Out Your Lease and Keep the Vehicle

If you love your current vehicle, buying it out at the end of the lease may be a smart move.

  • Own a vehicle you already know and trust.
  • Avoid mileage or wear-and-tear charges if you purchase instead of returning.
  • Flexible finance options available through our Finance Centre.

We can show you your buyout price, estimated payments, and how owning compares to starting a new lease.

3. Return Your Lease and Switch to a Different New or Pre-Owned Vehicle

Sometimes your needs change. You might need more space, less space, or a different type of vehicle.

  • Move from a sedan or compact SUV into a minivan or three-row SUV.
  • Switch from a leased vehicle into a value-focused pre-owned model.
  • Explore Ram trucks if your work or lifestyle now requires towing and hauling.

Browse our new inventory and pre-owned inventory to see what might be a better fit for your life now.


Lease-End Timeline: 90 to 0 Days

Knowing what to expect as you approach your lease return can make the process much smoother.

90–60 Days Before Lease-End

  • Locate your lease agreement and note the official end date.
  • Check your allowed kilometres and compare them to your current odometer.
  • Start thinking about your next vehicle: stay similar, go larger, or downsize.

This is a great time to contact our team to review your situation and outline your options.

60–30 Days Before Lease-End

  • Consider a pre-return inspection to identify any potential excess wear items.
  • Book an appointment to discuss lease-end options with our finance or sales team.
  • Test drive new models you’re considering, such as a Chrysler PacificaDodge Durango, or
    Ram 1500.

30–0 Days Before Lease-End

  • Confirm your appointment date and time for lease return with our team.
  • Make sure you have all keys, manuals, and accessories that came with the vehicle.
  • Bring the vehicle in clean, with personal items removed.

We will walk you through the final steps, including any inspections and paperwork required by the leasing company.


Lease-End Considerations: Kilometres, Wear & Tear

Two of the biggest concerns at lease-end are kilometres and wear-and-tear. We are here to help you understand how these apply to your vehicle.

  • Kilometres: If you are over your contracted allowance, we can help you compare potential excess kilometre charges versus buying out the lease.
  • Wear & tear: We can point out what typically counts as normal vs. excess wear, and what your options may be if repairs are needed.
  • Maintenance: Keeping up with regular maintenance through our Service Centre can help your vehicle meet lease-end expectations.

Our goal is to help you avoid surprises and make a choice that is financially sensible for you, not just for the term of the lease but for the years ahead.


Lease Return for Minivans, SUVs & Work Trucks

Lease-end can be a perfect time to adjust your vehicle to match how your life or work has changed.

Your lease return appointment is a great time to talk through how your needs have changed and what should come next.

Lease Return & Lease-End FAQs

Do I have to return my lease to the dealership where I got it?

No. In many cases you can return your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or Ram lease to Leavens Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, even if you originally leased it elsewhere. Our team can confirm your specific situation and help you with the next steps.

Can I return my lease early?

Early lease returns are sometimes possible, but there may be fees or remaining obligations. Talk to our Finance Centre so we can review your lease agreement and explain your options before you make a decision.

What happens if I am over my kilometre limit?

If you are over your contracted kilometres, the leasing company may charge an excess kilometre fee. We can help you compare those potential charges against buying out your lease to see which option makes more sense.

Will I be charged for dents, scratches, or chips?

Normal wear is expected, but larger damage may be billed as excess wear-and-tear. We can review your vehicle with you before lease-end and discuss whether repairs are recommended or if it makes more sense to buy out the vehicle.

Can I buy my leased vehicle even if I don’t want to lease again?

Yes. You can usually buy out your lease and keep the vehicle, even if you don’t plan to start another lease. Our team can show you your buyout price and available financing options.
