- Find out if you own your car, lease your car or if you own your car but have a car loan.
- If you own your car, you may sell it or export it. Exportation can be complicated, so it may be easier for you to sell your car and buy a new car in your destination country.
- If you lease your car, you can terminate and pay off your lease, surrender your car to the leasing company, sell the lease to someone else or sell your car and pay off the lease.
- If you own your car but have a car loan, you may pay off the loan and export your car to your destination country, surrender your car to the lender, sell your car and pay off the loan with the proceeds, or sell your car to someone who is willing to assume the loan (but the lender will have to approve).
- If you sell or surrender your car, cancel your car insurance and registration and take your license plates to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
- Whether you own or lease your car consider checking with your original car dealer or another certified car dealer to see what they can do.
