Remember, a lease is a glorified loan. You don't have direct ownership.

There may also be a settlement if the payout is less than the residual value depending on your lease agreement.

I see. I guess this payout from insurance isn't negotiable right? I read that you can negotiable with the adjustor if you think the settlement is too low, but i guess that only applies if you bought or financed the car.
