Jeep Wrangler End of Lease Checklist

When you have a leased Jeep Wrangler, you have some options when it comes to what happens after your lease comes to an end. The biggest decision to make is whether or not you want to keep your vehicle. You can choose to purchase your Wrangler, or extend your lease, which would give you some more time with that model. If you choose to return it, you can either pick out a new Wrangler to explore, or find a different vehicle to try. The best way to figure out the best option is to leave yourself plenty of time to research your options and set up test-drives. We recommend leaving yourself at least 90 days to figure out your next move!

If you choose that you’d like to return your leased Jeep Wrangler, then there are few steps to take in order to make sure it’s ready to go back to the dealership. First of all, you’ll want to make sure that your vehicle is clean and free of any of your personal items. When you’re cleaning out the car, make sure to check those little nooks and crannies like underseat storage compartments, center consoles, door pockets, and overhead compartments. You should also make sure that your personal information is cleared from the infotainment system. You might even want to consider detailing your Wrangler to ensure that it’s completely clean inside and out!

When your lease ends, you have the option to choose a different vehicle for your next lease. As we mentioned above, leasing in general is a great way to enjoy more freedom than when you purchase a car. When your Wrangler’s lease ends, there are some great reasons to consider picking out a new Wrangler to enjoy. First of all, each new model year brings with it some new and exciting features, so picking out the latest model gives you access to those updates. Plus, each Wrangler trim level is unique, so you can also choose a different trim level that has a different look and feel. For example, you can opt for the Rubicon, which offers some truly rugged off-road features.

For those of you who are choosing to return your Wrangler after your lease, it’s important to remember to schedule your lease-end inspection. Roughly 30 days before the end of your lease, be sure to have your Wrangler inspected for wear and tear. In most cases, small scratches or dents are no problem, but larger damage could potentially incur fees. This is another reason why it’s smart to get your car detailed before you return it. Detailing your car makes it look its absolute best, and can remove surface stains or debris that might look like a scratch or more serious damage. In this way, detailing can actually save you from having to pay excess damage fees.
