Standard leases come with an annual mileage allowance (often 10,000-12,000 miles per year). If you exceed that at lease end, you'll pay a per-mile overage fee set in your lease agreement. Many drivers can buy additional mileage upfront when signing, which locks in a lower per-mile rate. If your commute or lifestyle involves heavy driving, discussing mileage needs with Castle Subaru McHenry's finance team helps you choose the right allowance from the start.
