I may be moving to a different state so I don't want to lease a car and then have to bring it all the way back here. Can I turn it in at a dealership in my new city?

by all means ask a group of internet surfers instead of just calling the dealership that you got it from. great plan.

You should receive something in the mail with instructions from your leinholder as to the directions for turning in a lease vehicle.
Most companies require that you turn the vehicle back in at a dealership that sells the same brand of vehicle (ie Leasing a Toyota then return it to the nearest Toyota dealership). It does NOT have the be dealership you originally leased the vehicle at. I would recommend that you call the dealership a head to make an appointment with a Lease Return Specialist and let them know a head of time that you are merely returning your lease and not interested in purchasing another vehicle (unless you are interested in purchasing/leasing another vehicle). Some leinholders also require an inspection prior to turning the vehicle into the dealership - it is much better for you to schedule the inspection then to just wait and have the inspection done at the dealership...anything that they charge you for you can fix it before turning it in so then you won't get charged top dollar for any imperfections. Turning the lease in will take about 5 minutes...get a copy of the odometer statement that they do for your records.

Contact the leasing company; they will tell you where you can return the vehicle.
The dealership is NOT the leasing company; it's either a bank or the manufacturer's financial arm, such as GMAC, Ford Credit, Chrysler Credit, etc. If it's a large multi-state national bank (such as B of A) or captive financing (GMAC, etc.) you should be able to find a turn-in point in pretty much any part of the country.

I really depends on the terms of the lease. I used to work at a dealership, and some car makes will let you turn into any same-name dealer....Some require you to bring it back to that designated dealership. Sometimes there's also an aquisition fee required when you turn it in.
Call the dealer and ask!

There should be lease return centers in the state you move to. you usually don't return the car to the dealership.

Yes, you can return it to any dealer in any state/city, providing of course that its the same (return a Ford to a Ford dealer).
I actually know a multi-company dealership, and can recommend a personal pick up from a guy named Big Leon. He'll come pick it up for you. He's great, it's a fast way to turn in your car with no hassle.

Check the terms of your lease. Will they allow it to be taken out of state on a permanent basis? If so, can you turn it in in your new state?
But please ask the leasing company, not a bunch of strangers who happen to have computer access.

Don't lease cars...very pour choice..poour use of your money unless you use it for buisness. Most of the time you are required to return to clearing house for leases which in many cases has nothing to do with dealership
