What can you do if you want to get out of your lease early? Can you return a leased car within 30 days? Can you return a lease after 1 day? Keep reading to see what your options are if you want to cancel a car lease within 30 days.

Can I Return a Leased Car Within 3 Days? What the Law Says

If you’re asking, “Can I return a leased car within 3 days?” you’ve probably heard that there is some sort of cooling-off period after signing a lease. A lot of Town 'N' Country drivers have been under the same impression. Unfortunately, most leasing contracts do not provide for any cooling off or grace period. Does that mean it’s impossible to cancel a car lease within 30 days?

Can You Return a Leased Car Within 30 Days if You Absolutely Have to?

Can you return a leased car within 30 days if you have a really good reason? What if you haven’t even really gotten a chance to use the car? Can you return a lease after 1 day? You will want to consult your lease agreement for terms of early termination. Normally, the agreement stipulates a penalty fee for an early return, and some agreements require the entire lease to be paid. The staff in our finance center can help you understand your lease agreement.

Can You Return a Lease After 1 Day Without Going Through All That Expense?

Is there some way to cancel a car lease within 30 days without paying so much in penalties and without paying off the lease? What some Brandon drivers have done is transfer the lease to someone else.

To do this, you will need to find someone who is willing to take over your lease payments. There is normally a penalty for this also, but this is usually a less expensive option for getting out of a lease. Of course, this is depending on your specific leasing contract, so we recommend you speak to a professional if you need assistance.
