Why do Florida Chevrolet dealers charge a dealer fee?
Florida sets no dollar cap on the dealer documentary or predelivery service fee. A state rule governs how that fee must be shown to you instead.
According to Florida Statutes s. 501.976 (2026), it is a violation to charge a customer for predelivery service without printing a line item for that service on all documents. Read any quote line by line, and look for that line item before you sign.
Buying or leasing online works without leaving home or work, so you can compare the numbers before you come in.
