Most leases come with an annual mileage allowance-commonly 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles per year-so a 3-year lease might let you drive 36,000 to 45,000 miles total. It depends on the lease agreement you choose.

Going over your limit? You'll typically owe a per-mile charge (often 15-30 per excess mile) when you return the vehicle. If you know you'll drive more, you can negotiate a higher mileage allowance upfront-it's usually cheaper than paying overages later.
