Post-Return Bill

How is my post-return bill calculated? 

If you owe any amounts under your AutoNation Mobility Agreement after you return your vehicle, any such charges will be included in a post-return bill.

Your post-return bill may include items such as: 

Your post-return bill will only reflect new charges or refunds determined once the car is returned. The invoice you receive will not reflect any prior unpaid balance, such as unpaid monthly payments, citations, tickets or tolls, which you are still responsible for paying. 

What is a disposition fee? 

A disposition fee is charged upon return of every vehicle to cover the cost of reconditioning and remarketing a car.  

How can I avoid additional charges on my final bill? 

To avoid having a balance after you return: 

What is an excess mileage charge? 

Excess mileage charge is calculated if you drive over your total allotted mileage for your term.  

For example, if you select 1,000 miles per month for a 6 month term, your total allotted mileage would be 6,000 miles. If you drove 6,500 miles, you’d be charged per mile for the additional 500 miles.  

For more information on mileage, please see the Mileage article. 

Micro Lease Returns: Vehicle Condition Guidelines
 

Based on the vehicle inspection performed when you return your micro lease, the following will result in excess wear and use charges. These charges will appear on your post return bill.

• Present permanent odors that require ozone removal
• Damaged safety items, regardless of size (e.g., torn seat belts, airbags)
• Glass or lights that have cracks, stars, holes, or plugs (a star is a chip with one or more legs, and a plug is considered unsafe for vehicles with supplemental restraint systems)

What are credits from previous invoices? 

If you were due a refund on an earlier invoice and chose to apply this refund to your next payment, this credit would be applied here to reduce your total balance due. 

What is a registration reimbursement? 

In some instances, there are minor registration fee adjustments that can result in small reimbursements passed along to you upon return.
