Covid Quarantine FAQs

What if I can’t afford to make my car payment right now?

​

Many of us do not know when we will be able to get back to work. So, deferring a car payment or two may be helpful. My friends at LaFontaine Auto Group helped put the following information together. Contact your bank of lease-holder and see if they can work with you. Many are making accommodations. Be patient on the phone, though as they are getting a lot of calls.

​

Below is some information on some of the things that our automaker and lender partners are doing in terms of offers and assistance to customers during this time. We will continue to update this blog post as additional information becomes available. This list is not exhaustive. If you need info on a lender not on this list, please contact us at info@authorizedvehicles.com.

Cant afford

Ally

  • Ally wants to assist customers to make the lease-end transition as stress free as possible.  Therefore, we are allowing all lease customers with scheduled maturity dates from March 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020 to drive their vehicle for an additional 30 days from the original maturity date, on us.

Important Details:

  • Ally has notified eligible lease customers directly via email or text

  • The additional month is being provided at no cost to the customer (no monthly lease payment, charges or fees will be assessed)

  • SmartLease customers will receive additional monthly miles based on the mileage structure in the original lease agreement.

    • Example: Existing SmartLease term is 24 months 30,000 miles (15k per year or 1,250 per month).  The extension increases total allowable miles to 31,250.  Any excess mileage charges at termination will be assessed beginning at 31,251 miles.

    • Customers who purchased extra mileage upfront may receive a rebate of unused mileage based on total miles at termination as provided in the original lease agreement.

  • Customers may return their vehicle prior to the new scheduled end date without penalty.

    • Customers who wish to return their vehicle before the extension expires should contact Ally at 1-888-925-2559.
