Understanding Your Options at the End of Your Honda Lease with Hamel Honda

For many individuals, leasing a Honda vehicle from Hamel Honda provides flexibility and convenience. However, as the end of the lease term approaches, you might wonder about the next steps. In this article, we aim to provide a clear overview of the options available to you upon lease maturity, ensuring you make an informed decision that best suits your needs.


  1. Return Your Honda and Lease a New One:

If you've enjoyed the experience of driving a newer model and appreciate the benefits of leasing, you might consider returning your current Honda at the end of its lease and entering a new lease agreement. Before doing so:


  • Schedule a pre-return inspection: This helps identify any wear and tear or excess mileage that might result in charges. Knowing this in advance can help you prepare.
  • Review new models: Take some time to explore the latest Honda models at Hamel Honda. This will give you an idea of any technological advancements or features you might want in your next vehicle.

  1. Purchase Your Leased Honda:

If you've grown attached to your leased Honda and can't imagine parting with it, you have the option to buy it.


  • Check the residual value: Your lease agreement specifies the car's residual value, which is what you'd pay to purchase it at the end of the lease.
  • Financing: If you choose to buy, Hamel Honda can assist with financing options to help you transition from lessee to owner.

  1. Return Your Honda and Walk Away:

If you decide that you no longer need a vehicle or you're thinking about switching to a non-Honda brand, you can simply return your leased Honda to Hamel Honda.


  • Pre-return inspection: As with option one, you'll want to schedule a pre-return inspection to identify potential charges for any excessive wear or mileage.
  • Return guidelines: Make sure to return the vehicle with all original equipment, like extra keys or owner's manuals, to avoid additional fees.

  1. Extend Your Current Lease:

In certain situations, Hamel Honda may offer lease extensions. This can be beneficial if you're waiting for a particular new model to become available or if you need more time to decide on your next step.


Final Considerations


Regardless of the option you choose, it's essential to be aware of the end date of your lease and take action a few months prior. This gives you ample time to consider your options, schedule any necessary inspections, and make the transition as smooth as possible.


Remember, the team at Hamel Honda is always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have regarding the end of your lease. Your satisfaction and understanding of the process are paramount to us. Whether you're moving on to a new Honda or parting ways, we're here to support and guide you every step of the way.
