What to do when your Nissan lease ends
As the end of your vehicle lease approaches, it is important to remember that you have several options. No matter which option you choose, at Nissan of Kirkland our goal is to make this a quick, easy process for all Seattle area Nissan owners.
Nissan will be in touch with you as the end of your lease approaches. In addition, Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (NMAC) sends out letters prior to the end of your lease. The letters outline your options (see below) and include a wear-and-use guidebook.
If you have questions about the process, our team at Nissan of Kirkland is here to help.

Four steps for returning your Nissan
Use this checklist to prepare for a straightforward NMAC lease return.
SCHEDULE YOUR VEHICLE INSPECTION
Prior to your vehicle’s lease end date, contact the Alliance Inspection Management Center (AIM) at 800.253.9026 or visit https://selfschedule.aiminspect.com/ to schedule your free vehicle inspection.
DECIDE IF YOU WANT TO MAKE REPAIRS
The inspection report will specify whether or not excess use or wear charges may apply. You have the option to fix these issues prior to returning your vehicle, or paying the associated fees at lease end.
RETURN YOUR VEHICLE
Contact your local authorized Nissan dealer (Nissan of Kirkland is authorized to accept all NMAC lease returns).
COMPLETE A FEDERAL ODOMETER/LEASE TERMINATION STATEMENT
Federal and State law require a signed disclosure of your vehicle’s mileage. This document is also necessary to process the termination of your account, and will serve as your receipt for the return of the vehicle. Nissan of Kirkland can provide this document for you to complete at the time your return your vehicle.
Which Nissan lease-end option fits you?
Drivers approaching the end of an NMAC lease generally choose one of three directions. Comparing them early can help you avoid a rushed decision near your maturity date.
You want newer technology, different space or capability, another payment structure, or simply prefer to continue leasing or purchase a new vehicle.
You like the vehicle you already have and want to explore purchasing it for the purchase-option amount listed in your lease, subject to taxes and applicable fees.
You are ready to turn in the vehicle and complete the NMAC lease-return process without replacing it at the same time.
