Mileage overage occurs when you drive more miles than your lease agreement allows. Most leases come with an annual mileage cap-commonly 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year-and if you exceed it, you'll owe a per-mile fee at lease end. That charge can add up, so it's important to estimate your driving habits honestly when you lease.

If you're uncertain about your annual mileage, the Finance team at Castle Hyundai Oak Lawn can adjust your allowance upfront-paying a slightly higher monthly payment is often smarter than facing overage charges later.
