The Mercedes-Benz Lease Return Process

About four months before your lease maturity date, you should begin preparing for the lease-end process. Here’s what to expect:

Step 1: Schedule Your Complimentary Vehicle Pre-Inspection

A few months before your lease ends, schedule a pre-inspection with an independent third-party inspection service. This inspection can take place at your home, workplace, or any location that’s convenient for you.

You’ll receive a detailed report outlining your vehicle’s condition, including any excess wear and use. Visit inspections.openlane.com or call 1-800-556-2811 to schedule your appointment.

Step 2: Review Your Pre-Inspection Results

After your inspection, review your report online to understand the condition of your lease vehicle. If repairs are needed, our service team can help you take care of them before you return your vehicle.

Drivers who choose to lease or finance their next Mercedes-Benz may also receive a $500 credit toward excess wear and use charges.

Step 3: Return Your Vehicle to Mercedes-Benz of New Orleans

When you’re ready, contact our lease return center to schedule your official vehicle turn-in. Bring your keys, owner’s manual, and any additional accessories that came with the car.

Once your vehicle is returned, it will be disconnected from your Mercedes-Benz account, and all Digital Extras will be deactivated. This allows for a seamless transition into your next Mercedes-Benz lease or purchase.

Step 4: Review Your Final Lease-End Statement

After the lease return inspection, you’ll receive a final lease-end statement that details any applicable mileage overages or wear-and-tear charges. This statement ensures full transparency – no surprises, just clarity on your final lease balance.

How to Assess Your Mercedes-Benz Before Lease-End

Before your official inspection, take a few minutes to evaluate your vehicle condition. Mercedes-Benz provides simple guidelines – including The Credit Card Test® – to help determine if minor damage may count as excess wear.

The Credit Card Test®:

If a scratch or dent is smaller than the width of a standard credit card, you likely won’t be charged.

Check These Areas Before Your Inspection:

  • Tires: Verify tread depth and ensure all tires match in brand and size.
  • Interior: Remove stains and repair any visible damage to seats or trim.
  • Windshield and Lights: Check for chips, cracks, or non-functioning bulbs.
  • Aftermarket Modifications: Remove any unauthorized modifications before return.
  • Keys and Accessories: Return all key fobs, mats, and accessories that came with your lease.

If you’re unsure whether a repair is necessary, our authorized Mercedes-Benz service team can review your vehicle and offer solutions that meet vehicle condition guidelines.
