Decide On Next Steps
As you approach the end of your lease, there are three ways to move forward. No matter where you decide to go, we are here to guide you every step of the way.
Get a New Ford
Visit the online Ford Vehicle Showroom to find your next ride. It may be a good idea to contact your dealer to verify availability and order times.
Select Your New Vehicle
Return Your Current Vehicle
Purchase My Current Ford
To obtain your vehicle’s purchase price prior to lease-end, login to Account Manager or contact Customer Support. Discuss your vehicle purchase options and the final purchase price, including taxes and other charges, with your originating dealer. Electric vehicles may not be eligible for purchase at lease-end, please refer to your contract for details.
Prepare to Purchase Your Ford Lease
Return My Ford
Complete lease-end transactions by your lease-end date to avoid additional charges as described in your Red Carpet Lease Agreement.
Prepare Your Vehicle Return
Prepare Your Vehicle
When you return your vehicle, its overall condition will be evaluated to determine if there is any excess wear and use (or chargeable). Identifying excess wear and use before your vehicle return gives you time to process claims for damage covered under your insurance policy or to make any other needed repairs.
Self-Assess Wear and Use
Visit the Wear and Use page and download the Wear and Use Evaluator Card and Checklist to help you assess the condition of your vehicle.
Lease-End Inspection
Once you have completed the self-assessment using the wear and use guidelines, you can schedule a complimentary pre-inspection within 60-days of your lease-end date.
Inspection Results
After your inspection, you can see your results.
Vehicle Repairs
If your vehicle needs any repairs, your Ford Dealer has expert techs and quality service along with Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts to help ensure your vehicle is ready for return. Retain copies of all repair receipts to verify completed repairs when returning your lease vehicle.
