Excess mileage cost FAQ
How is excess mileage calculated?
Excess mileage is calculated by subtracting your allowed mileage from your projected total mileage. Any distance over your allowance is multiplied by the excess mileage rate in your agreement. Other mileage-related fees may apply if your agreement specifies them.
What is a typical excess mileage charge?
Excess mileage charges vary by lease provider and vehicle. Check your agreement for the exact rate per mile.
Can I reduce excess mileage charges?
Yes. You can reduce driving, buy additional miles if your provider allows it, or plan your next lease more accurately.
Is it cheaper to buy extra mileage upfront?
It can be cheaper to choose a higher allowance before signing a lease than to pay excess mileage charges at the end, but the exact result depends on your agreement.
