Early lease termination typically triggers an early-termination fee (the amount varies by lease contract and how much of the term remains). It can be substantial, so it's important to review your lease agreement. Some leases allow transfer to another driver, which might be an option if your situation changes.

The best approach is to choose a lease term you're confident about and drive safely to avoid extra mileage or damage charges. Genesis of Downers Grove's finance team will explain early-termination details upfront so you know exactly where you stand.
