How to find the rate in your Chevrolet lease
GM Financial does not publish a standard rate; it bills at the rate per mile listed in your agreement. Every US lease must carry an “Excessive Wear and Use” notice, and Regulation M (12 CFR 213.4(h)) requires that notice to “specify the amount or method for determining any charge for excess mileage.” Find that box in your Chevrolet lease paperwork: the per-mile figure printed there is your rate.
How to stay ahead of Chevrolet overage fees
- Find your mileage allowance and per-mile rate in your Chevrolet lease agreement, in the excess-mileage disclosure described above.
- Divide your total allowance by the number of months in your lease to get your monthly mileage budget.
- Log your odometer regularly and compare it to that budget so you spot a problem while small changes still matter.
- If you are trending over, ask GM Financial whether it will sell extra miles; the Federal Reserve notes that miles negotiated into the lease often cost less than excess miles at the end.
- If you will exceed the limit anyway, compare paying the overage at turn-in against buying the car, which removes the excess-mileage charge where your lease has a purchase option.
Chevrolet Lease Mileage FAQ
GM Financial does not publish a standard excess-mileage rate. In its own words: "Any mileage incurred in excess of the amount allowed in your original lease contract term will be billed at the rate per mile listed in your agreement." Your exact rate is in your lease agreement, because US law requires it to be there.
In your lease agreement: it bills at the rate per mile listed in your agreement. Under Regulation M (12 CFR 213.4(h)), a US lessor must disclose "the amount or method for determining any charge for excess mileage." Look for the "Excessive Wear and Use" notice in your contract: the excess-mileage charge is stated with it, and it overrides any figure you read online.
If you extend one month and lease or buy a new GM vehicle at lease end, you may get a prorated monthly mileage allowance based on your original contract. Your own allowance is the one printed on your lease.
Ask GM Financial before you sign. The Federal Reserve notes that it often costs less to negotiate a higher mileage limit in the lease than to pay for excess miles at the end.
Track your odometer against your mileage budget (total allowance divided by lease months) and correct early, while you still have time to change how you drive. If you will go over anyway, compare the turn-in charge with buying the car: the Federal Reserve notes that if you purchase your leased vehicle at lease end you are not responsible for excess mileage charges. LeaseMiles tracks your pace automatically and warns you before you cross the line.
