A Smoother Return

Know What to Expect.

  1. Start With a Pre-Inspection.

    We recommend a complimentary pre-inspection 90–120 days before your lease ends. Allow approximately 30 minutes to review your Kia’s condition and any estimated excess wear and use charges.

  2. Review Service and Repair Needs.

    Use your estimate to decide whether to complete maintenance or repairs before returning your Kia. Our team can help you review service records and repair options, or you can return it as-is and pay applicable charges.

  3. Arrange Your Lease Return.

    Contact us to confirm an appointment on or before your lease maturity date. We’ll help complete the Vehicle Return Confirmation form and explain any remaining steps.

Lease Return FAQs

Clear Answers Before You Return.

From your first pre-inspection to your final paperwork, here’s what to know as your Kia lease comes to an end.

Do I have to return my Kia to the dealership where I leased it?

No. You’re welcome to return your leased Kia at Tom Kadlec Kia, regardless of where you originally took delivery. We offer new, Certified Pre-Owned, and used vehicles from a variety of brands, but you’re under no pressure to purchase from us when you return your lease. Please contact us to confirm your return appointment.

Should I schedule a pre-inspection before my lease ends?

Yes. We recommend scheduling a complimentary pre-inspection 90–120 days before your lease maturity date. It typically takes about 30 minutes and helps identify estimated excess wear and use charges so you can consider maintenance or repairs before returning your Kia.

The pre-inspection does not replace the final inspection, and estimated charges may change.

Who can help me schedule a pre-inspection or lease return?

Contact Devlin Lowry or any member of our management team at (507) 281-2222 to confirm an appointment. If Devlin is unavailable, another manager can assist you.

What if I’m over my contracted mileage?

Your lease agreement specifies your mileage allowance and any charge for excess miles. Contact us before your lease ends to review your mileage, the applicable rate, and whether any additional-mileage purchase options are available for your contract.

What should I bring when I return my Kia?

Bring both sets of keys, the vehicle’s operating manuals, and all equipment originally supplied with your Kia. Remove personal belongings, toll tags, and garage-door remotes before your appointment.

What determines excess wear and use charges?

Charges depend on your Kia’s condition and the terms of your lease agreement. A pre-inspection can help identify potential issues, such as dents, scratches, missing equipment, tire wear, or overdue maintenance. Estimated charges may be discussed at the pre-inspection; final charges are determined after the final assessment.

Can I end my lease early?

Early return or a move into another Kia may be possible, but ending a lease before maturity can result in significant charges. Contact us to review your contract, remaining obligations, and any current programs before deciding.

Can I purchase and certify my current Kia?

You can explore purchasing your current leased Kia. If your vehicle meets Kia Certified Pre-Owned eligibility and inspection requirements, ask our team whether certification is available as part of the purchase.

We’ll explain current warranty coverage, roadside assistance, any additional protection options, and associated costs. Certification is subject to eligibility and is not automatic.

Are there benefits to leasing or purchasing another Kia?

A newer Kia gives you the opportunity to explore current technology, safety features, and models. Owner loyalty programs may also be available. Our team can explain current offers, eligibility requirements, and any applicable lease-end fee waivers before you choose.

What charges could apply when I turn in my lease?

Depending on your lease agreement, vehicle condition, and account status, your final bill may include:

  • Disposition fee: The turn-in fee specified in your contract. A loyalty waiver may be available when you meet current program requirements.
  • Excess mileage: Charges for miles beyond your contracted allowance.
  • Excess wear and use: Charges for qualifying damage, overdue maintenance, missing equipment, or parts that do not meet applicable return standards.
  • Other outstanding amounts: Unpaid payments, late fees, taxes, tolls, or other amounts due under your agreement.

We can help review your service history and potential concerns before your return. Your lease agreement and current lender requirements govern final charges and any waivers.

Lease-end options, charges, financing, certification, and loyalty benefits depend on your contract, vehicle eligibility, credit approval where applicable, and current program terms. Contact our team for details specific to your Kia.
