Costs related to leasing
The term “auto-leasing” conjures up images of cheap monthly payments in most people’s minds. More is going on than meets the eye, and there are a lot of expenses involved at different points in the lease process.
A refundable security deposit, usually equal to one monthly payment, is required at the start of the lease to protect the lender against non-payment and any damage to the vehicle that may occur during the lease. Additionally, there is an administrative charge known as an acquisition fee that you must pay. Fees for registration, title, licenses, and state and local taxes are additional.
You were required to pay the rent in full each month while you were a tenant. Costs for late payments will apply in the event that this does not transpire.
All fines, fees, and assessments related to emissions, safety, and continuous maintenance are your responsibility. If you decide to end your lease early, there will be significant charges for doing so.
You should be prepared to pay 10 to 20 pence per mile for any excess mileage that accrues at the conclusion of the lease. The excess tear-and-wear costs will be applied to any incidental damage to the car that is considered to be above normal. As a last step, a disposition charge is due in the event that you opt out of purchasing the vehicle.
