A simple Answer TO yOUr Question
How much does it cost to terminate a car lease early?
Early termination fees vary by leasing company and how far into the lease you are, but they typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 or more. The penalty usually includes all remaining lease payments, the difference between the car's current value and the residual, plus an early termination fee. The earlier you terminate, the more expensive it tends to be because you still owe more depreciation.

Great customer service! Dave was very responsive and worked hard to find the car we were looking for. His pricing was unbeatable and the vehicle was delivered right to our driveway. There was a small issue with the vehicle from the manufacturer, but Dave and his team have been working hard to rectify it. Goes to show their service doesn’t disappear after delivery, and are committed to developing relationships and making longterm customers.

Had a wonderful experience working with Vantage and Dave A. in particular. Dave came as a referral from a neighbor and he was very straightforward and helpful throughout the entire process. Once I decided to move forward with a lease, Dave was super efficient and we got everything done within a few days!
