Legal Question in Legal Ethics in New York

Hi I leased a vehicle throught Honda City on Long Island N Y two and a half years ago in January for 39 months and is now comming to the end of that lease in April 2011.. In the contract it was stated that the lease was subcontracted to another lease company Fusion. I did not think anything of it till I thought about returning the vehiclet his month.. I have leased all my cars over the last 20 or so years and all of them were returnable to a dealer or any dealer of that manufacturer. However in this case this company Fusion states that I must return this vehicle to them on Long Island. I was intending to take this vechile with me to Flkorida (I live on Long Island N Y) in Jauary and return it to a Honda dealer there in April. We lhave lived in Florida for this period for three years. No where in the lease does it stipulate that I can only bring this vehicle to them on Long Island. I talked to Fusion and they stated that I could have the vehicle picked up at my home in N Y for $200 or picked up in Florida for $800.

I would like to know, since I was not made aware of their stpulations at the time of the lease,is their mandate legal. If I had know at the inception of the lease that I could only return this vehicle on Long Island I would have never leased it from Honda City. I think they were deceptive in their agreement.
