Cadillac Lease Specific Questions

How Can I Find out More About What Happens at The End of My Lease?

The end of your lease term with GM Financial doesn’t have to mean the end of your driving experience in a GM vehicle. Options await as you decide on your next steps in the leasing process. Let GM Financial help guide you through the End-of-Lease process, and find selections that best fit you.

From communicating to you before your term is due, to the turn-in and inspection processes, to your options once your lease has expired, GM Financial is there with you every step of the way.
• Lease-end Options – From getting behind the wheel of a brand new GM vehicle to purchasing your lease, learn what choices you have as your end-of-term date nears.
• Vehicle Inspection – Need to set up a vehicle inspection for your lease but not sure how to start? Not to worry, GM Financial has you covered with a convenient vehicle inspection process.
• Excess Wear and Tear – The vehicle inspection will determine the existence of any billable Excess Wear and Use charges under the standards defined in your lease agreement.

The GM dealership where you leased your vehicle is also an excellent source for information regarding your end-of-lease options. They can also answer questions about the process for returning your vehicle, the inspection required, excess mileage concerns and final invoices.

Am I Responsible for Additional Fees on My Leased Vehicle, Such as Tolls, Tickets, Etc.?

You are responsible for any applicable tolls, tickets, property tax or fees assessed during your lease contract. The initial bill will go to GM Financial. Then, GM Financial will add the charges to your monthly billing statement, with a copy of the original bill. If you do not receive a monthly billing statement, you will receive an off-cycle bill for the applicable fees.

How Can I Transfer My Lease?

GM Financial has a lease assumption program that helps facilitate lease transfers.
