Nissan Lease Mileage Allowance & Overage Fees
Nissan publishes two excess-mileage rates, and which applies depends on the annual allowance you chose.
Quick answer
How much is the Nissan lease overage fee? Nissan Motor Acceptance Company publishes $0.15 per mile on 12,000 and 15,000-mile leases and $0.25 per mile on 5,000 and 10,000-mile leases for miles over your contracted allowance. The rate in your own lease is the one that applies: Regulation M requires every US lease to state the excess-mileage charge.

How to find the rate in your Nissan lease
Nissan Motor Acceptance Company publishes $0.15 per mile on 12,000 and 15,000-mile leases and $0.25 per mile on 5,000 and 10,000-mile leases, but the figure that binds you is the one in your own contract. 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 Nissan lease paperwork: the per-mile figure printed there is your rate.
How to stay ahead of Nissan overage fees
- Find your mileage allowance and per-mile rate in your Nissan 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, check Nissan Motor Acceptance Company's option for buying miles (during the term, $0.10 per mile) against its turn-in rate.
- 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.
Nissan Lease Mileage FAQ
Nissan Motor Acceptance Company (NMAC) publishes $0.15 per mile on 12,000 and 15,000-mile leases and $0.25 per mile on 5,000 and 10,000-mile leases. In its own words: "At lease end, pay excess wear & use plus $0.15 per mile (for mileage over the original lease agreement of 15,000 miles per year or 12,000 miles per year, plus any additional mileage purchased during the lease term) or $0.25 per mile (for mileage over the original lease agreement of 10,000 miles per year or 5,000 miles per year, plus any additional mileage purchased during the lease term)." Your lease contract states the rate that actually applies to you.
In your lease 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.
Nissan Motor Acceptance Company names these annual allowances in its published terms: 5,000, 10,000, 12,000 or 15,000 (in its rate terms). Your own allowance is the one printed on your lease.
Nissan Motor Acceptance Company sells Signature FLEX miles during the term for $0.10 a mile. You can buy extra miles at NissanFinance.com up to 30 days before your lease maturity date. Mileage purchases are non-refundable; unused miles are not refunded. SignatureFLEX covers Nissans from model year 2020 or newer leased through NMAC with a maturity date of 2/1/2025 or later.
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.
