At GMAC, we understand that the only constant in life is change. Major events, like becoming a parent or changing jobs, can certainly alter your situation and give you reasons to set new priorities. Whatever your priorities, we're here to help.
Transferring my lease
During the course of your lease, your circumstances may change, requiring you to find somebody to take over your lease. What should you do?
- Your first step is to find someone who would like to take over your lease. They will then need to visit a GMAC affiliated dealer to complete a GMAC credit application.
- Upon GMAC approval, the lease will be transferred from your name to the name of the new lessee .
- Once you've transferred your lease and GMAC has completed all the paperwork, you're no longer responsible for the vehicle.
- You should discuss the refund of any security deposit with the new lessee, as the security deposit refund is issued at the end of the lease.*
- Please be advised that GMAC charges a transfer fee , which covers all costs related to lien registration, credit analysis, document preparation, life/disability cancellations, internal record modifications, mailings and insurance verification.
* Provided that the new lessee has met all obligations of the lease.
If you don't have someone to take over your lease, Leasebusters website can help you in your quest. Contact your dealership to find out if they are a participating GMAC/LeaseBusters affiliate. They are equipped with the knowledge and expertise to aid you in the process, and can offer you very competitive price packages.

Terminating my lease early
It is possible to return your vehicle before the scheduled maturity date of your GMAC lease agreement. In other words, you can terminate your lease early.
You have several early termination options
- You can return your vehicle to your dealer and pay the total of the remaining payments and all early termination costs , such as administration fees, excess kilometre charges and excess wear charges and taxes.
- You can try to sell your vehicle to your dealer.
- If your vehicle's market value exceeds the current GMAC buyout, you may be entitled to the difference.
- If the market value is below the current GMAC buyout, you pay the difference.
- You can let somebody else take over your lease. (Check out Transferring my lease for more details.)
- You can buy your leased vehicle for the current GMAC buyout detailed in your lease agreement plus any remaining payments.
