Understanding Mercedes-Benz Lease Fees

Mercedes-Benz lease fees may seem daunting, but Keyes European is here to help you understand them. From start to finish, we’ll ensure you understand your lease terms so you can spend more time enjoying the drive and less time worrying. Let’s look at what’s involved in each of the three primary phases of your lease.

Lease Initiation

There will be some specific fees and costs you’ll want to prepare for at lease initiation. These typically include the down payment, where applicable, as well as the first month’s payment, security deposit, and taxes. It also comes with the acquisition fee, which is the fee for acquiring the vehicle, and is usually a few hundred dollars.

Fees During Use

The primary fee you’ll need to concern yourself with while you have a leased vehicle is the monthly payment determined by the vehicle depreciation rate and the length of the term. Mercedes-Benz offers optional services that can help minimize financial risk. For example, excess wear-and-tear protection plans may cover certain damages that would otherwise result in fees. Prepaid maintenance packages can also be included in a lease, simplifying service costs and ensuring that your vehicle receives factory-recommended care throughout the lease term.

End of Lease Fees

At the end of your lease, you’ll have to pay a lease disposition fee. This covers the administrative costs associated with reselling or redistributing the vehicle. If you have gone over your mileage allotment or your vehicle has damage beyond simple repairs, you’ll need to pay for those on the day of return, as well (some of these fees can be waived if you’re purchasing the vehicle at lease end). If you want to terminate your lease early, you will also encounter early termination fees in most cases.
