Kia lease transfer FAQs
Can I transfer my Kia lease to someone else?
No. Kia Finance America (Hyundai Capital America) does not permit open-market lease assumptions in the U.S. The lease remains in your name through the end of the term.
What are my options for getting out of a Kia lease early?
(1) Trade in at a Kia dealer who pays off the residual, (2) third-party buyout where a private buyer pays off Kia Finance directly, or (3) contact Kia Finance about early termination — call 1-855-537-8542 for a quote.
Is this the same for Hyundai and Genesis?
Yes — all three Hyundai Motor Group brands (Hyundai, Kia, Genesis) lease through Hyundai Capital America and share the same no-transfer policy.
