At the end of the contract, you have several options depending on the terms of your lease:

• You extend the lease,
• take ownership of (= buy) the vehicle,
• return it to your dealer.

With the last option, the vehicle’s condition will be jointly documented and the kilometres driven will be compared to the agreed mileage. You can then seamlessly switch to a new lease agreement for a current model. It is best to discuss your requirements with your dealer in good time.

• Registration form or proof of main residence in Austria
• Proof of income for the last 2 to 3 months (e.g. payslips)

• choosing the right term and any special payments
