Lease Buyout, Transfer, and End-of-Term Policies
The team at DSRLeasing.com provides comprehensive, up-to-date lease information for U.S. Bank. We strive to help you manage your automotive lease effectively.
Lease Buyout Rules
U.S. Bank allows the original lessee to purchase the vehicle. However, they are known for having one of the strictest "Market Value" pricing policies for third parties.
- Third-Party Price Inflation U.S. Bank typically charges a "Market Value" payoff price to third-party dealers (CarMax, Carvana, etc.). This price can be thousands of dollars higher than your personal residual value, making it very difficult to trade your lease in for equity.
- Lessee Buyout: You can purchase the vehicle for the residual value listed in your contract plus any outstanding fees. To get your personal quote, call 800-872-2657.
- Financing: U.S. Bank offers lease buyout loans directly to consumers if you wish to keep the vehicle.
- Fees: A purchase option fee (typically $150 - $395) usually applies, in addition to state taxes and registration.
Lease Transfer Policy
⚠ Transfers Restricted
As of 2023, U.S. Bank has heavily restricted lease transfers. They are generally only permitted in cases of death or divorce. Voluntary transfers between private parties are typically not allowed.
Your Alternatives
- Keep the vehicle until lease maturity.
- Purchase the vehicle (buyout) and then sell it privately (check tax laws in your state).
- Return the vehicle early (Early Termination fees will likely be significant).
