Customers Of Former SmartBuy & Buyer's Choice Programs: Return Vehicle Checklist

With 90 years of experience, we are working to make Auto Financing easier for you.

When you return your financed vehicle

See what to do when you return your vehicle – use our Return Vehicle Checklist.

Turn in my vehicle:

Inspect the vehicle yourself for excess wear before you return it. (Use our Wear Square to help determine extent of damage) If it shows excess wear, you can:

  • Arrange to have it repaired
  • Turn it in as is and have Ally bill you for excess wear

Compare your current mileage against what’s allowed on your contract. If your current mileage is greater, you’ll have to pay for the excess.

Call your local GM, Chrysler Group LLC or Saab dealer to arrange to turn in your vehicle

When you return your vehicle, please bring the following:

  • Vehicle title and Power of Attorney form
  • A copy of your contract
  • All original equipment, including keys, keyless entry remotes, DVD player, headphones, DVD remote, etc.
  • All documents you received at the beginning of your contract, including the owner’s manual and maintenance guide

While at the dealership, be sure to complete an odometer statement to document current mileage

Contact us to tell us when you returned your vehicle

Keep my vehicle:

Apply for Ally financing with your local GM, Chrysler Group LLC or Saab dealer to buy your financed vehicle. Or pay by cash.
