    • Check out our Excess Wear Table
    • Use the Wear Square to determine whether your vehicle has excess wear

    • Inspect the vehicle yourself for excess wear before you return it. (Use our Wear Square to help determine extent of damage)
    • 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 or Chrysler Group LLC dealer to arrange to turn in your vehicle
    • When you return your vehicle, please bring the following:
      • A copy of your lease agreement

  • Will I be charged for mileage or wear on my ComTRAC Lease vehicle?

    No. You’re responsible for the full residual balance of the vehicle at the end of the lease. Note: Vehicles with high mileage and wear may not sell for the full residual value owed on the ComTRAC Lease, and this could leave you with a balance due.

  • Will I receive a refund for any unused additional mileage I paid for when I leased my vehicle?

    In some instances, you may receive a refund for the unused additional mileage you paid for when you signed your lease. You will not receive a refund if the lease ends early, you buy your vehicle or the vehicle is a total loss. See your lease agreement for details.
