Lease-End Steps

Purchase Your Vehicle

If your current car is too perfect to let go of, Mercedes-Benz of Peoria and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services can help you with the steps to purchase it.

Mercedes-Benz Loyalty Program

If you replace your off-lease vehicle with a new Mercedes-Benz vehicle, we will credit your account for excess wear and use charges up to $500. Plus, if you lease or finance your next Mercedes-Benz vehicle with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services (MBFS), you will receive a credit for the vehicle turn-in fee, up to $595. It’s our way of thanking you for choosing to stay with us

Prepare for Lease-End

Once you’ve made your decision, the process for returning your vehicle starts approximately four months prior to your lease maturity date and should include the following steps:

Step 1: Schedule Your Vehicle Pre-Inspection

Prior to turning in your leased vehicle, schedule your complimentary pre-inspection with the independent third-party inspection company. You choose the time and location that’s most convenient, including at home, at work or another convenient location of your choosing.

Visit AutoVIN login page to schedule online or contact the AutoVIN Call Center at 800-556-2811 for assistance.

Step 2: Review Pre-Inspection Results

Review your pre-inspection report available online at AutoVIN. Then explore the option of repairing any excess wear and use items with Mercedes-Benz of Peoria in advance of your expected vehicle return date.

Please note, if you are replacing your off-lease vehicle with a new Mercedes-Benz, we will credit your account for excess wear and use charges up to $500.

Step 3: Return Your Vehicle

Contact Mercedes-Benz of Peoria to schedule a day and time to return your vehicle.

Prior to returning your vehicle, be sure to detach your vehicle from your Mercedes me connect account. You can do so in the Mercedes me portal, Mercedes me connect app. Upon detachment, your vehicle will be removed from your Mercedes me account and all the services will be deactivated. By removing the connection between you and your vehicle, this allows for a smoother transition into your new Mercedes-Benz vehicle. This detachment means that your vehicle is no longer tied to your account.

Step 4: Lease-End Statement

Get your final lease-end statement in the mail, detailing any charges incurred for mileage overages and/or excess wear and use. Charges will be based on the final, third-party vehicle inspection to be conducted at vehicle turn-in.

Benefits of Leasing

Leasing is a great way to enjoy a new Mercedes-Benz every few years and offers a range of flexible terms to choose from.

Leasing also offers great options for early lease returns, loyalty programs, and even the ability to trade-in your lease! Additional Mercedes-Benz lease benefits include:

  • Lower Payments
  • Lease-End Flexibility
  • Sales Tax Savings

Financing a new or pre-owned Mercedes-Benz allows you to enjoy all the perks of Mercedes-Benz ownership.
