Toyota Motor North America and Toyota Financial Services have announced initiatives to support communities affected by recent flooding in California. The company stated that it makes annual contributions to The American Red Cross and SBP, which are used for disaster recovery efforts across the United States.

These measures apply to both Toyota Financial Services (TFS) and Lexus Financial Services (LFS) customers located in areas designated as disaster zones. Eligible lease and finance customers may access several forms of assistance, including extensions and deferred lease payments, redirected billing statements, and options for phone or online payments.
Customers seeking more information or wishing to discuss their accounts can contact TFS through the Support Center at ToyotaFinancial.com or by calling 800-874-8822. LFS customers can use the Support Center at LexusFinancial.com or call 800-874-7050.
