Return Your Lease

Returning your leased Kia at the end of your agreed-upon lease terms is always an option. To prepare your Kia and not have to worry about surprise charges when you return your lease, you should review our tips for preparing your Kia:

  • Identify any potential excess wear and use through a Self-Assessment
  • Make necessary repairs to avoid any excess wear and use charges
  • Get specific details on your options by calling a Lease-End Advisor at (855) 537-8542, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 9 p.m. Eastern
  • Visit the KFA Advantage page to see the benefits of leasing again or purchasing with us
  • Schedule a Turn-In Appointment at your Kia dealer

And before your Turn-In Appointment, you should take time to properly clean your vehicle inside and out, removing any personal items or garage. You’ll also need to fill out and sign an Odometer Disclosure Statement then fax the completed statement to (972) 590-3968. After you’ve returned your lease and paid any necessary charges, you are now free to walk away hassle-free and take your time deciding your next move. Whether that’s buying a new or used vehicle, Thomas Kia is always ready to help.

Lease a New Kia

Want to lease a new Kia model? Great choice! You may even qualify for some additional loyalty saving when you lease a new Kia. And since you’re only paying for the amount of the vehicle you use over the lease term, you can generally expect to only have to pay a lower down payment and lower monthly payments. And since leases generally only last 24 to 48 months, you’ll always be able to enjoy all the latest stylings, technology, and performance offerings. Some benefits of leasing a Kia include:

  • Payments are usually lower, compared to a purchase
  • Lower down payment
  • Opportunity to drive a new car every two to three years
  • Factory warranty to cover major repairs
