AutoFair Automotive Group helps drivers across Southern New Hampshire, the Merrimack Valley, and nearby New England communities plan the next step when a Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Genesis, Subaru, Toyota, or Volkswagen lease is ending. Start with the AutoFair store for that brand. Each lender still has its own rules, so the store will point you to the steps that apply to your agreement.
Lease-end requirements vary by manufacturer, financial institution, state, and individual lease agreement. Review your lease agreement and contact the appropriate AutoFair dealership before returning your vehicle.
Quick Answers Before You Return a Leased Vehicle
Contact the AutoFair store that sells your leased brand before you visit.
Not every AutoFair location can accept every lease.
Your lease agreement and finance company set inspection timing, mileage charges, wear charges, and purchase eligibility.
AutoFair can help schedule your visit, review next-vehicle options, and point you to the right store.
Your Lease Is Ending. What Comes Next?
Bring your lease paperwork and talk with the matching AutoFair team first. The store can help you look at current inventory, ask about a purchase if your contract allows it, or set a return appointment. Specific inspection windows and charges still come from the finance company named on your lease.
Explore Another Vehicle
Stay with the same brand or look across the group. Browse all new inventory and ask an AutoFair store to walk through next-step options.
Ask About Purchasing
Some leases allow a buyout. Eligibility and payoff details come from your agreement. An AutoFair product specialist can help you review that path before you decide.
Prepare to Return
Complete any inspection or self-assessment your lender requires, gather original equipment, and contact the correct AutoFair dealership before you drive over.

If you own a separate vehicle, you can value your trade. Do not use that tool to value a leased vehicle unless you have already completed a permitted purchase and hold the ownership rights.
What Usually Happens at the Appointment
Most AutoFair lease-return visits follow the same customer flow even though each lender uses different inspection rules.
1
Check in with the store that accepted your appointment.
2
Confirm the vehicle, mileage, and the option you chose: return, purchase review, or another vehicle.
3
The store or the lender's inspection process reviews vehicle condition.
4
Turn in keys, documents, and original equipment.
5
Sign any odometer or return forms and keep a copy.
If you are shopping next, the same AutoFair team can help you review current inventory or start a finance application.
After the Vehicle Is Returned
Returning the keys is not always the last step. The finance company named on your lease usually sends a final statement. That statement may include remaining payments, excess mileage, excess wear, or other contract charges. Cancel any automatic payments only after the lender confirms the return is complete. Keep your copies of signed return documents until the account is closed.
Choose Your Vehicle Brand
Confirm the appointment before returning the vehicle. Do not apply one brand's timeline to another brand.
F
Ford
Manchester, NH and Haverhill, MA
AutoFair Ford in Manchester and AutoFair Ford of Haverhill can help you plan a Ford lease-end visit. Ford Credit generally presents three paths: get a new Ford, ask about purchasing the current Ford, or return the Ford. A wear-and-use self-assessment comes first, and a pre-inspection may then be scheduled within 60 days of your lease-end date. Excess wear and excess mileage can apply on a return. Certain electric vehicles may not be eligible for purchase at lease end, so review your Red Carpet Lease Agreement before assuming a buyout is available. Complete lease-end transactions by the lease-end date.
H
Honda
AutoFair Honda
AutoFair Honda can help you schedule a Honda lease-end appointment and review what you want to do next. Honda Financial Services generally lets customers return the Honda, ask about purchasing it, or look at another Honda. Review current lease-end options and any pre-termination inspection instructions in your Honda Financial Services account before the visit.
H
Hyundai
AutoFair Hyundai
AutoFair Hyundai can help you line up a Hyundai lease-end visit and look at current Hyundai inventory. Hyundai Motor Finance typically mails a Lease-End Kit about four months before maturity. Options can include leasing or purchasing another Hyundai, buying the current Hyundai, or returning it. The online self-assessment estimates possible excess wear and use and is not binding. Final wear charges are set by the formal inspection after turn-in. Ask whether an extension is available on your account. Do not assume Genesis instructions apply to a Hyundai lease.
G
Genesis
Genesis of Manchester
Genesis of Manchester can help Bedford and Southern New Hampshire drivers plan a Genesis lease-end appointment. Genesis Finance typically mails a Lease-End Kit about 120 days before maturity. Options include returning the Genesis to an authorized Genesis dealer, requesting a buyout quote, or leasing or purchasing another Genesis. Complete the official self-assessment, then consider a pre-termination inspection within 60 days of turn-in if questions remain. Both are estimates. Final wear charges come from the formal inspection after return. A leased Genesis must be returned to an authorized Genesis dealer.
S
Subaru
AutoFair Subaru, Haverhill area
AutoFair Subaru can help Haverhill-area drivers schedule a Subaru lease-end visit. Subaru Motors Finance options generally include purchasing the current Subaru or returning it, including when you plan to get another Subaru. A pre-inspection, if scheduled, must usually be completed no more than 60 days before turn-in, and the report can expire. If the lease originated in New Hampshire, Subaru Motors Finance states the pre-inspection must be completed within 15 days prior to turn-in. Massachusetts-originated leases follow standard timing unless your account says otherwise. Confirm the originating state before you schedule anything.
T
Toyota
AutoFair Toyota of Tewksbury
AutoFair Toyota of Tewksbury is the AutoFair store to contact for a Toyota lease return. Toyota Financial Services options include turning the vehicle in and getting another Toyota, returning the vehicle without replacing it, or purchasing the current Toyota after requesting a payoff quote. The originating dealer is required to process the return. Other Toyota dealers may process a return only after they confirm they will accept the vehicle. Do not bring a leased Toyota to a different AutoFair brand store and expect that store to complete the return.
V
Volkswagen
AutoFair Volkswagen of Nashua, located in Merrimack
AutoFair Volkswagen of Nashua, located in Merrimack, can help you schedule a Volkswagen lease-end appointment. Volkswagen Financial Services currently lists four transition paths: turn the vehicle in for another Volkswagen, ask whether a lease extension is available, purchase the current Volkswagen, or turn the vehicle in without replacing it. A wear-and-use inspection can be scheduled before turn-in, and the report is valid for 90 days if no additional damage occurs. The originating dealer is required to take the vehicle back. Another Volkswagen dealer may accept it only after that store confirms.
Why Contact AutoFair Before Your Return?
An appointment keeps the visit simple. Some stores can accept only the brand they sell. A lease that started at another dealership may need extra confirmation. Calling the matching AutoFair store first protects you from an unplanned trip across Manchester, Bedford, Merrimack, Haverhill, or Tewksbury.
AutoFair cannot promise that every lease will be accepted at every location. Acceptance and return-location rules vary by lender. Find the right store on the AutoFair locations page, then confirm before you drive over.

Which leased vehicle brands can AutoFair help with in New Hampshire and Massachusetts?
AutoFair can discuss lease-end questions for Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Genesis, Subaru, Toyota, and Volkswagen. Use the brand card above to reach the matching store.
Can I return any leased vehicle to any AutoFair dealership?
No. Return the vehicle to the AutoFair store that sells that brand, and only after that store confirms it can accept the return. Lender rules differ, and some lenders require the originating dealer.
Do I need an appointment before returning my vehicle to AutoFair?
Yes. Contact the correct AutoFair dealership first. Many lenders and stores require a scheduled turn-in so documents and inspection steps can be handled in order.
When should I begin preparing for lease end?
Begin as soon as your lender sends lease-end materials or when your contract date is approaching. Exact timing differs by finance company. Follow the matching AutoFair store and your lease agreement rather than a single group timeline.
Can I purchase my currently leased vehicle at AutoFair?
Sometimes. Purchase eligibility, payoff amounts, and required forms come from your lease agreement and financial institution. Some vehicles, including certain Ford electric vehicles, may not be eligible. Ask the matching AutoFair store to help you review that path.
Will my vehicle need a lease-end inspection?
Most lenders use some form of inspection or self-assessment. The method, timing, and whether a report expires all depend on the finance company and, for some Subaru leases, the state where the lease originated.
What should I bring when returning a leased vehicle to AutoFair?
Bring the original keys, equipment, manuals, accessories, and documents your lender requires. Remove personal belongings and stored information. Keep copies of return paperwork. Ask the AutoFair store if your brand needs extra items.
Can I choose a different AutoFair brand for my next vehicle?
Yes. You can look at another AutoFair brand after you handle the current lease through the correct store and lender. Browse group inventory and apply for finance separately. Returning one leased vehicle does not automatically transfer to a different brand's return process.
Disclaimer: Lease-end options, inspections, fees, purchase eligibility, and return locations are set by each lease agreement and financial institution. AutoFair cannot accept every lease at every store without prior confirmation. Review your contract and contact the matching AutoFair dealership before you visit.
