Most leases come with an annual mileage allowance (commonly 10,000-15,000 miles per year). If you exceed that limit, you'll pay a per-mile overage fee at lease end-typically 15-30 cents per mile, depending on your lease agreement. It's important to estimate your annual driving honestly before signing. If you drive more, consider negotiating a higher mileage allowance upfront; it's usually cheaper than paying overages later. **To discuss mileage options that match your lifestyle**, call (779) 265-4427.
