Miss the Recommended Maintenance

Auto maintenance is a crucial part of caring for any vehicle, but particularly a lease. If your vehicle has excessive wear and tear at the end of your lease, you could face substantial fees. Maintenance can help limit any undue damage.

Keep It Unprotected

It’s also important to keep your vehicle protected to help avoid unnecessary wear and tear. Whenever possible, store your vehicle in a garage or shelter. Also, always drive with caution and try to avoid driving in inclement weather whenever you can.

Underestimate How Much You Drive

Before you sign a lease, it’s important to carefully review how much you drive. Every lease contract has a mileage cap that says how much you can drive each year. If you exceed the limit, you could also end up owing major fees.

Decline GAP Insurance

GAP insurance, also known as Guaranteed Asset Protection, is a valuable tool for anyone with a new vehicle. If you are ever involved in a serious accident, or your car is lost or stolen, you are still responsible for paying for the total cost of your lease.

Many times, the amount you owe could end up being much more than what your vehicle is worth, but GAP insurance helps cover the difference.
