What Are My Lease End Options?


If you’re nearing the end of your lease or are just curious about the finer details of this method of vehicle acquisition, Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights is here to assist by telling you about what you can expect. If you read this overview and still have questions, feel free to contact us at 240-392-3635. Or, if you’d prefer to meet with us in person, you can find us at 1772 Ritchie Court in Capitol Heights, MD.
Purchasing
One of the best reasons to go with a leasing contract is because it provides a short-term commitment, meaning you can change up your set of wheels much more frequently when compared to financing. That being said, some individuals end up falling in love with their models by the time the agreement is up. If you’re one of these people, you can rest easy because you’ll have the option to purchase the car in question for its remaining value. Plus, our Finance Department will set you up with a renewed payment plan that takes your current budgetary constraints into consideration.
Lease Another Model
On the opposite end of the spectrum are folks who want to alter their mode of transportation more frequently. These folks are covered too, as they’ll be able to find another ride on our lot to lease when their old contract expires. This is an excellent route if you feel as if your lifestyle will change in the near future. For instance, if you have a baby on the way, transitioning to a minivan might make more sense than keeping your lease going with a sedan like the Honda Civic. Additionally, you may need a pickup truck like the Honda Ridgeline temporarily if you’ve recently purchased a home. For tips on what driving options will fit your needs, ask our team for recommendations.
Leave the Keys with Us
The last option is our least favorite, but we totally understand if you’re ready to try a vehicle out that we don’t have on our lot. If this is the case for you, all you’ll have to do is return the keys to us. We’ll do a quick examination of the interior and exterior, check the odometer, and perform a mechanical inspection to make sure everything is shipshape. If there are any irregularities, we’ll calculate the cost and include it in the exit paperwork. Once you’ve done that, you’re free to go. That being said, you’re welcome back to our dealership if you decide that we’re the right place for you!
The next time some asks, “What are my lease end options?” you’ll have an answer for them! Until then, check out our expansive inventory here at Pohanka Honda in Capitol Heights!

“ I saw a Vehicle online and sent a message wanting to know if the vehicle was still available. I got a message from Jose Garcia within about 20 minutes, confirming that the vehicle is available. He went above and beyond by answering every question and giving me every detail I needed to know about the vehicle before coming in the next day to purchase it, including sending me a walk around video of the vehicle. I came in the next day to test drive it and purchased. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a vehicle ask for Jose Garcia or his manager whom I believe his first name is Aaron. Highly recommend Pohanka Honda 10/10 ”
“ Great team and service! We were traveling for the long holiday weekend and stopped to charge our car. Since we had some time and need a second car we visited the Pohanka Honda Dealer, my husband was interested in the CRV hybrid just to compare prices. We walked away with a 2026 CRV hybrid! We were treated amazingly from the moment we walked in the door. Amazing service and dedication to meet the needs and expectations of their guests. My husband felt heard, understood and valued at Pohanka. I highly recommend this dealer because you are not just a customer, you become part of the Pohanka family! I know when my lease is up, I am coming back here to buy my car because I trust them and I know we are in great hands that can be trusted! Thank you for everything! ”
“ Jacqueline was amazing! She was very professional, personable and was able to help with all my questions and concerns that I had. Highly recommended ”
“ I was able to make my appointment online and it was super easy. Delonte was my advisor and was excellent. This was my first time at Pohanka Honda and he walked me through the process of having my car inspected and was able to confirm that my service was indeed covered as a first time Honda owner. The wait time was reasonable and I was excited to receive a video of the “under hood inspection” that Ryan performed. The waiting room was roomy and well equipped with everything needed during my stay, i.e., tvs, massage chairs, coffee/tea, snacks. ”
“ Sale service man Ian hill is excellent . Very friendly he knows how to talk to customers and very professional .I was very pleased with him. Continue to do the good work . I will recommend any one go with lan you will be well pleased with his services. ”
“ I had a great experience working with Marcus Nelson as my service advisor for the second time. He ensured my vehicle was completed in a timely fashion for routine service and kept everything running smoothly from start to finish. He was professional, efficient, and made the process easy and stress-free. I really appreciate the clear communication. I would definitely recommend Marcus and will continue to drive roughly an hour to bring my vehicle here for service. ”
“ I had a good experience with purchasing my car here, I recommend Sanitra ”
“ I recently underwent the process of finding a Honda prelude, a very hard car to find. I was so surprised with the experience I had through Darvell. He is a no nonsense hassle free salesmen, which I truly value when making this kind of purchase. In a span of hours, Darvell got us in the car for a test drive, and shortly after that, we were on our way. No back and forth, he understood our goal, and made it happen. Not only did Darvell take care of us through the purchase, but he also gave me his personal number, and made a point to check in with us as we were getting used to the car. 10/10 I would choose Pohanka again ”
“ My experience with Jose and the manager was the best Ive ever had. I didn’t think I would be able to get a car with my credit I walk out of there in 2026 car. They made sure I got a car and I did. Thank you!! ”
“ The accepted the vehicle.on time at the scheduled appointment and had me out within 30 minutes with a routine 24205 mile service check. Oil change and car wash and a suggestion of a tire roation on my next visit for optimal life span. I appreciate the service guys. 🙏🏾 ”
