Yes, leases come with an annual mileage allowance-typically 10,000, 12,000, or 15,000 miles per year. Your total limit depends on your lease term (e.g., 36,000 miles over 3 years at 12,000/year).

**If you exceed it:** you'll be charged per-mile overage fees at lease end. These charges add up quickly, so it's worth honestly estimating your annual driving before signing.

**Good news:** you can often negotiate a higher mileage allowance upfront if you know you'll drive more. It raises your monthly payment slightly but saves you from hefty end-of-lease bills. Some drivers also buy mileage banks at signing.
