Not all leases offer a damage waiver that you can purchase.

Also depends on the company. Lincoln might be lenient cause they are a much more expensive car. Besides usually there is a small waiver if you are getting a new lease from them such as Nissan offers $500 which is practically nothing seeing how they charge for everything including the bumper and even hubcaps. If you have a small chip in the hubcap you’ll be charged $100 for a replacement as if they don’t replace hubcaps anyway when they resell the vehicle.

I also thought that bumper is included in normal wear and tear but it isn’t and it’s not even something you can prevent since most people park their car outside and don’t carry a portable garage with them. And as far as scratches, it’s not only the length it depends how deep they are and usually the maximum amount is accumulative meaning they might just give you 10″ altogether so if you have many small scratches which is totally normal for a car on the road for 3 years they will charge.

Seriously, charging someone $100 for each hubcap cause they aren’t in perfect condition? Best to remove them or replace for the lease and then just put them back on when returning.
Again all depends on company. Nissan is one of the worst when it comes to this.
