Receive Your Lease-End Mailing

We make it easy with a personalized lease-end mailing, sent approximately four months before your scheduled lease-end. It has important information you need about:

  • Your options at lease-end
  • Lease vehicle inspection
  • Excess Wear and Use

If you have any questions after reviewing your lease-end mailing, please contact your originating dealer.*

*If you have moved and it is no longer convenient to return to your originating dealer (the dealership which originated your lease), you may return or purchase your lease vehicle through any participating Ford Dealer. Be sure to schedule an appointment in advance. If you are unable to locate a participating Ford Dealer, please contact our Customer Service Center.

Discuss Lease-End with Your Ford Dealer

Your originating dealer* is ready to help with all your lease-end options, details about returning your lease vehicle and discuss your new-vehicle needs.

Be sure to ask about available programs and offers that can make your transition into your next vehicle easier.

*If you have moved and it is no longer convenient to return to your originating dealer (the dealership which originated your lease), you may return or purchase your lease vehicle through any participating Ford Dealer. Be sure to schedule an appointment in advance. If you are unable to locate a participating Ford Dealer, please contact our Customer Service Center.

Prepare for Vehicle Inspection

It’s getting near the end of your lease. That means it’s time for the Lease Vehicle Inspection. We make it convenient by allowing you to choose an inspection location ideal for you, such as your home or office.

The vehicle inspection provides you with detailed information about the condition of your vehicle, including an assessment of any Excess Wear and Use.

This assessment will allow you to arrange for any needed repairs before returning your vehicle. 

Schedule Your Lease-End Appointment

Have you contacted your originating dealer*? It’s a good idea to do it now and schedule a lease-end appointment to either Buy or Lease a New Ford, Purchase Your Lease Vehicle or Return Your Lease Vehicle. Don’t forget to ask about current programs and offers.

If your vehicle is in need of any repairs, your Ford Dealer has expert techs who use Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to ensure your vehicle is in optimal running condition.

*If you have moved and it is no longer convenient to return to your originating dealer (the dealership which originated your lease), you may return or purchase your lease vehicle through any participating Ford Dealer. Be sure to schedule an appointment in advance. If you are unable to locate a participating Ford Dealer, please contact our Customer Service Center.

Vehicle Return or Purchase

Time flies and it’s now time to return to your originating dealer. *Please refer to Buy or Lease a New Ford, Purchase Your Lease Vehicle or Return Your Lease Vehicle and discover how to make the lease-end experience convenient and easy.

*If you have moved and it is no longer convenient to return to your originating dealer (the dealership which originated your lease), you may return or purchase your lease vehicle through any participating Ford Dealer.
