Signing a new Lexus lease at our dealership is one of the smartest ways to get behind the wheel of a new luxury car, but it requires a little bit of planning to keep your contract in good standing. Leases offer the advantages of lower monthly payments and the flexibility to drive the newest models when they are first released. However, it is essential to remember that they also have yearly mileage limits. Here are some tips for avoiding exceeding these limits from the team at MotorWorld Lexus.
Regularly Check Your Car’s Mileage
The best way to prevent overage penalties is to be aware of the mileage number on the odometer. Rather than waiting for your annual service appointment with MotorWorld Lexus to check your total, we recommend setting a calendar reminder to log your odometer reading every month. By comparing this number against your monthly allowance (typically between 800 and 1,000 miles), you can find trends early. If you notice your number is high, you can consciously reduce your driving in the next few months to return your mileage to where it needs to be.
Optimize Your Route Planning
You can both reduce your mileage and the wear and tear on your car by maximizing efficiency during your daily routine. Instead of making separate trips for every task, try to consolidate your errands into one outing.
Use Alternative Transport for Road Trips
Your leased Lexus car may not be the best option for your cross-country road trip. For vacations that require thousands of miles of highway driving, consider taking an owned vehicle or renting a car. This way, you can preserve your miles for local trips.
