Frequently Asked – Vehicle Leasing Questions

What are the benefits of leasing?

  • With a lease, payments may be lower than purchasing the same vehicle, since you only pay for the portion of the vehicle you use over the term of the lease. You can consider vehicles that have more options; trade-in your vehicle for the latest model more frequently; and, align the lease term to the vehicle warranty period for greater peace of mind.

Does leasing require less money upfront?

  • The down payment amount for leasing a vehicle varies based on the lease transaction structure and monthly payment you desire, but generally, may be lower than buying.

With a lease, am I protected from possible negative equity?

  • With a lease, you avoid the potential risk that your vehicle’s value has declined beyond its projected residual value at the end of your lease term.

What happens at the end of a lease?

  • At the end of the term, you have the option to purchase the vehicle or turn it in, subject to the terms outlined in your lease agreement. Honda Financial Services will communicate with you prior to the end of your lease to guide you through the end of the lease process.
