Anyone took Toyota Care Platinum Plus package with their Toyota Lease? This is a protection package offered directly by Toyota Financial, covers wheels, tires and dings. I paid $640 ($18 per month for 36 months) but I have option to cancel within 30 days. I almost decided to cancel it but if anyone thinks it is worth it, let me know.

Otherwise, chances are pretty good it will be a lot less to just take care of it yourself before turn in.
