What First-Time Leasees Need to Know
Most leases allow 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. Go over, and you'll pay $0.15 to $0.25 for every extra mile when you turn the car in. On a 3-year lease, that math can get complicated fast.
The most common mistake? Not tracking until it's too late. By the time you realize you're over pace, there's nothing you can do about it. Odomobo catches this early — week by week — so you always have time to adjust.

First-Time Leasee FAQ
What happens if I go over my lease mileage?
+
When you return your vehicle at the end of your lease, the dealer checks the odometer against your contracted mileage limit. For every mile over, you pay a per-mile fee (typically $0.15 to $0.25). On a 36-month lease with a 10,000-mile/year cap, going 5,000 miles over would cost $750 to $1,250.
How many miles per week can I drive on a lease?
+
It depends on your lease terms. A 10,000-mile/year lease works out to about 192 miles per week. A 12,000-mile lease gives you about 231. Odomobo calculates your exact weekly allowance based on your specific lease and adjusts it as your driving patterns evolve.
Can I buy extra miles on my lease?
+
Some manufacturers let you purchase additional miles upfront at a lower rate (often $0.10 to $0.15/mile vs. the end-of-lease overage rate). Odomobo helps you decide if this makes sense by showing your projected mileage at lease-end based on your actual driving.
How Lease Mileage Caps Work
The Basics
When you sign a lease, you agree to a maximum number of miles over the lease term — usually expressed as an annual limit (10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles/year). This is your mileage cap.
If you exceed this limit by the time you return the car, you pay a per-mile overage fee. These fees range from $0.15 to $0.30 per mile depending on the brand.
The Rollover Trap
Many first-time leasees assume unused miles from year 1 roll over to year 2. They don't. Your total mileage is measured at lease-end against the total cap. If you drove conservatively in year 1 but heavily in year 2, the end-of-lease math is all that matters.
This is exactly why weekly tracking matters — OdoMobo's Three Smart Pools show you your pace against the total lease cap, not just annual limits.
