Car Lease - Due at Signing  

Also see:

lease inception

The term, due at signing, refers to the total amount of cash that is due at the time a car lease is signed.

The amount due at signing can include first month's lease payment, various tax and title fees, a down payment (cap cost reduction), possible sales tax on the down payment, and possibly a security deposit.

Cash due at signing, in car leasing, is often confused with a down payment. Remember, a down payment, if any, is only a part of the total amount due at lease inception. If you only have a particular amount of cash that you can apply to your car lease, ask your dealer to tell you how much of it will be applied as a down payment (cap cost reduction) after all other fees and charges have been subtracted.
