Lease Mileage Allowance & Overage Fees by Brand

Quick answer

Which automakers charge the least per extra mile? Among lenders that publish a rate: $0.15 per mile for Toyota (typically) and Nissan (on 12,000 and 15,000-mile leases); $0.20 per mile for Kia and Hyundai; $0.25 per mile for Tesla and Polestar; $0.30 per mile for Rivian. Every other lender below sets the rate in your contract.

Most US leases cap you at 12,000 or 15,000 miles a year, and going over means a per-mile charge at return. Only 7 of the 23 lenders below publish what that charge is. The rest set it in your individual contract. Every cell in the table is quoted from the lender's own site or lease-end documents.

“Set in contract” means the lender says on its own site that the rate is in your lease. A blank cell means this table has no sourced entry for that brand yet; ask your lender. Every filled cell links to the lender page it came from.

A blank rate cell means this table has no published rate for that lender, not that no charge applies. Under Regulation M (12 CFR 213.4(h)), your lessor must disclose the excess-mileage charge in your lease, so your exact rate is in your paperwork. Always confirm against your contract.
