When your lease is at the end of its term, there are a few things to keep in mind as you prepare for what's next. Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (NMAC) makes the process easy for you.
We'll be in touch with you as the end of your lease approaches. NMAC sends out letters prior to the end of your lease. The letters outline your options and include a wear-and-use guidebook.
You have three (3) options once you fulfill your lease obligations:
Turn in your current vehicle and lease or buy a new Nissan. Our Owner Loyalty Offers help make this an attractive option. Visit the See All Vehicles section for information on all of Nissan's new vehicles.
Before your vehicle's return date, contact the Alliance Inspection Management Center (AIM) at 800.253.9026 or visit https://selfschedule.aiminspect.com to schedule a complimentary, but required, vehicle inspection. This inspection takes approximately 30 minutes, and can be done at your Nissan Dealer, your home, or your place of business.
An AIM, certified inspector will provide an assessment copy of chargeable wear-and-use (if any), along with a Notice of Option to make repairs prior to return. If excess wear, and use, is discovered during your inspection, you have the option to repair your vehicle before returning. You may want to consult with your insurance agent to determine what is more beneficial.
Should your vehicle's condition change prior to its return due to repairs or additional damage, another inspection will be necessary. To schedule your re-inspection, please call the Alliance Inspection Management Center.
To learn more about the vehicle inspection process (including conducting your own inspection) and to see examples of Normal and Excess Wear and Use, please view the Wear and Use Guide.
NMAC wants to make it easy for you to buy or lease another Nissan. That's why we reward our current customers with incentives to purchase or lease a new Nissan.
We'll waive wear and use charges. When you lease or purchase a new Nissan, we will waive up to $500 of excess wear-and-use liability on your current NMAC lease. See form below for details.
² Offer good from 120 days prior to or 30 days after customer's termination of lease. The registered owner's name of the currently leased Nissan must be the same as the registered owner of the new Nissan or held in joint ownership. Customer must satisfy all obligations to NMAC in accordance with their current lease agreement. The excess-wear-and-use waiver does not apply to excess mileage fees. See dealer for details.

If you purchase your vehicle, you can avoid excess mileage, wear, and use charges. You will not be responsible for any costs other than the predetermined purchase option price and the incidental charges stated in your Nissan lease contract or required by law. These may include sales tax, vehicle registration, a purchase option fee, etc. Certain state and local laws may require you to pay a smog or safety inspection fee, etc.
If you decide to return your Nissan, we'll make the process as easy as possible.
