1. What is a Car Lease Transfer?

A car lease transfer allows someone to take over the remaining term of your vehicle lease. This calculator helps determine the total cost involved in transferring a car lease to another party.

Explanation: The equation accounts for all costs associated with transferring a lease, offset by any incentives that may reduce the total amount.
