FAQ
What is a lease transfer?
A lease transfer, also called a lease takeover or lease assumption, is when an approved person takes over the remaining payments and contract terms. The original lessee is released only if and when the finance company approves and completes the transfer.
Can every car lease in Canada be transferred?
No. Transfer rules, fees, credit requirements, and timing depend on the finance company and the lease contract. Confirm the current policy directly with the finance company before publishing or accepting an offer.
How does a vehicle swap work?
Two people can agree to exchange vehicles. If the values are similar, they may propose a straight swap. If one vehicle is worth more, an offer can include cash to balance the deal. Each party remains responsible for inspections, lien checks, ownership transfer, taxes, and required paperwork.

Who handles the paperwork for a lease transfer?
The finance company handles its credit application, approval, and official lease-transfer paperwork. SwapFlowAuto helps people find a listing, make an offer, and communicate, but it does not approve or complete the transfer.
Can I list a financed vehicle?
Yes, a financed vehicle can be listed for a vehicle swap. The owner and the other party must deal with any loan, lien, lender requirements, taxes, and registration before ownership can legally change. Lease-transfer listings are only for leased vehicles.
