Change Cars When Life Changes

LeasePass is your built-in exit plan. It’s an optional protection that lets you walk away from your lease or loan after 12 months—even if your car’s value drops. No resale stress. No upside-down payments. Just total flexibility when life changes.

Frequently Asked

What is LeasePass?

LeasePass gives you the option to walk away from your leased or financed vehicle anytime after 12 months. Simply give us 30 days’ notice, and we will buy back your car by paying off the remaining lease or loan balance per program terms.

Does LeasePass work with both leases and loans?

Yes, you can add LeasePass to any eligible new or used vehicle, whether financed via lease or an auto loan.

Why do I need LeasePass with an auto loan?

You might love your car today—but most people don’t want to keep the same car for the full loan term. The problem is, you don’t know exactly when you’ll want to change it or what it’ll be worth when that time comes. LeasePass gives you flexibility. Anytime after 12 months, you can walk away and we’ll pay off your remaining loan balance tied to the vehicle purchase price.

How does the turn-in process work?

Anytime after 12 months, reach out to us 30 days’ before you're ready to switch. We’ll schedule a quick inspection to confirm the vehicle condition and mileage. Before buyback, you’re still responsible for any deferred, skipped, or unpaid payments. LeasePass pays off the remaining lease or loan balance per program terms, handles the title transfer, and closes out your loan or lease. The vehicle is no longer your responsibility — simple, easy, done.

Are there mileage limits?

Drive as much as you need, of course! Just note that if you turn in your vehicle, the buyback amount will be reduced by $0.15 for every mile over your mileage limit—either your prorated lease allowance or 18,000 miles per year (1,500 per month) for financed vehicles.

What if my car has damage when I turn it in?

Normal wear and tear is fine. If there’s damage or excess wear and tear, per our Wear and Tear Guidelines, the buyback amount will be reduced by the cost of the repair.

If the vehicle has an accident on the vehicle history report (e.g., CarFax), it still qualifies for buyback. In that case, we may apply a diminished-value adjustment to the buyback amount based on standard guides.

Understanding How Auto Tariffs Could Affect Your Next Car Purchase

Buying a new car has always been about timing, your budget, and specific needs, but there’s another factor that’s harder to see when you’re looking at prices—auto tariffs. Auto tariffs can change what you pay, which models are within reach, and if a used car holds its value.

Let’s break things down the way your car-smart dad would, so you can see how tariffs might affect your decision.

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

I rarely write any reviews, I do find it necessary that I write one this time. I haven't purchased a new vehicle for quite some time. When I decided to move forward I dreaded the thought of having to go through the process of dealing with multiple dealerships, gathering quotes etc. and having to deal with pushy, non-transparent sales and finance people. Don't get me wrong, not all dealerships are that way or have staff looking to make big profit margins. If you've bought or leased any vehicle, you know those sales and finance guys are out there looking to make the absolute most profit possible. They get you going this way and that way. That's their business, to make money, I get that but the frustration, time and effort just isn't worth it to me. So, with that said, I was told by Brandon an employee of Vantage Auto Group to give them a try. Tommy C. was my contact and I have to say, from day one this was the best experience I had ever had with purchasing a new vehicle. No hassle, no frustration, no running back and forth to dealerships. Everything was taken care of with the utmost professionalism, transparency in order to satisfy the customer (Me). Aside from a minor setback which was corrected immediately, Tommy came through with the new truck that I was looking for. Hassle free, I received delivery even with a little parting gift which was very much appreciated. I am 100% satisfied and would highly recommend using Vantage Auto Group for your next lease or purchase of a new/used vehicle. Thanks again Tommy and All at Vantage Auto Group A Happy customer Andy

My wife and I recently moved from the city and needed a car but didn’t know where to start. At first we tried online, but it was honestly a little overwhelming. I reached out to a local friend for leads, and he pointed me to Vantage. I hopped on a call with Sean after work and gave him a rough outline for what we were looking for. I’m not a car guy, so it was basically: “I need something safe, reliable, and not falling apart.” Sean very much IS a car guy, and he took it from there. After going over our budget, he recommended a couple options, as well as compelling reasons to lease instead of buying used as we had planned. The next morning we went back and forth via text to hash out the details, and then that afternoon a beautiful brand new car within our budget rolled into our driveway. I signed some paperwork with his team, and that was that. Literally less than 24 hours after the initial phone call, I was all set. It was easier than 99% of all my other projects that go into moving to the burbs. The whole experience was extremely communicative and chill. And on top of everything else…I straight up love this car. I fear I’m a car guy now. Thanks, Vantage.

I recently leased a car through Vantage Auto Group in Watchung, NJ, and worked directly with Sean Ulsaker. The experience was nothing short of remarkable. No pressure, no obligation, no haggling—just honest, efficient, and top-tier service. My car broke down on a Monday. I contacted Sean, and by Thursday, I had a new vehicle delivered to my place of business. He guided me through car recommendations, arranged test drives the very next day, handled all the paperwork, and made the entire process seamless. I didn’t even have to leave my office. From now on, I’ll be working exclusively with Vantage Auto and recommending them to anyone looking for a stress-free car leasing experience. Sean and the team truly go above and beyond. thank you Sean for the excellent service. First time leasing a car and not having to take headache pills. Again, thanks! Manny Barrueco

The experience with Vantage Auto Group was everything I had hoped for and more. Elka was very responsive, knowledgeable regarding all of my questions and she helped guide me into the car that I wanted. She was a pleasure to work with. I was able to get out a previous lease early & reduce my monthly payment for a car I preferred to be driving. The drop off process to my house was seamless & Niko who dropped off the car was professional, courteous & also answered all the questions I had. I would recommend them to all my friends & family.
