Keys To
Vehicle Leasing
Under the federal Consumer Leasing Act, you, the consumer, have a right
to information about the costs and terms of a vehicle lease. This
information will help you compare lease offers and negotiate a lease that
best fits your needs, budget, and driving patterns.
This consumer guide is for a closed-end lease, the most common type of
vehicle lease. With a closed-end lease, you may return the vehicle at the
end of the lease term, pay any end-of-lease costs, and walk away. The sample
leasing form shows the types of information the dealer or leasing company
must give you before you sign a lease. "Leasing language" gives
definitions of terms associated with vehicle leasing.
