Don’t give them any money until you know you are buying!

I dealt with a very pleasant person on the phone to purchase a vehicle. There was some discrepancy/questions about one of the fees so I wasn’t sure I wanted to move forward with it. The salesperson suggested I put a deposit of $500 on it while we wait for an answer about the fee. He also promised it would not be an issue to get my money refunded if I decided to cancel the deal. I waited two days for an answer and each day I got a response they were waiting on the dealer to respond. I never signed a contract to purchase the vehicle. On the third day, I cancelled the deal with the salesperson and the manager via text. The salesperson responded, manager did not, and said my money would be put back on my card within 3-5 business days. It has been over a week and I still didn’t get my deposit back, so I started a dispute with my credit card company. I messaged the salesperson about it and he apologized and said he put in for the refund three times and wasn’t sure why it hasn’t shown up on my card. He alluded to the managers as the holdup. I am still waiting for my deposit and am guessing it will have to be resolved by my credit card company as their selling practices are very deceptive.

Thank you, Gigi. We’re sorry to hear how frustrating this experience has been, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain what happened.

We looked into your case with our Customer Satisfaction team. The sales agent confirmed that no deposit receipt had been uploaded, but the deposit itself was refunded by the sales team. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to reach you directly. The phone number on file wasn’t available, and the email address provided bounced back when our agent attempted to contact you.

We’d still like to make sure everything is fully resolved on your end. If you can share an updated phone number or email, we’ll reach out right away to confirm the refund and answer any remaining questions.

Was looking to sell my 2024 Subaru to…

Was looking to sell my 2024 Subaru to get out of my payments. Got a quote from a local Ford dealer for $18K, Carvana $19,400, and Driveway.com for 20,400.

I was extremely skeptical of selling my car online to Driveway.com as I've never head of them before and am very cautious. I can honestly say that I'm very impressed with their reliability and efficiency in the process start to finish. I went online on a Saturday afternoon. Gave me an online quote. Uploaded a real time photo walk around of my vehicle. Did an electronic docusign on Monday. Got UPS delivery to my porch on Tuesday with DMV required wet signature and returned the documents by UPS in the prepaid postage envelope back to Driveway. On Wednesday, Driveway confirmed they received my signed DMV documents and told me they would schedule a local Lithia Dealer to pick up my car an Friday. And Sure enough its Friday and the car was picked up from my driveway and I had a RTP real time payment into my bank account within 1 minute of shaking the driver's hand. Amazing!!!!
I usually never do reviews, but if this helps put any super cautious people more at ease... then its worth my time to leave this review. Job we'll done to all who work for Driveway.com

Thank you so much, Dean. Reading your review genuinely put a smile on our faces.

It makes perfect sense to be cautious when you’re selling a newer vehicle and comparing offers, especially with an online process you haven’t tried before. Knowing that you trusted Driveway.com and ended up having such a smooth, reliable experience from start to finish means a lot to our entire team.

You walked through every step in such a clear way, and it’s great to hear that each part happened exactly when and how it was supposed to. From the online quote, to the photo walk‑around, to the UPS documents, to the pickup, to the real‑time payment hitting your account right after the handshake, that’s the level of consistency we work hard to deliver.

The fact that you rarely leave reviews makes your feedback even more meaningful. You’re helping other cautious sellers feel more confident, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your story.

RUNAROUND …

They are easy to get in contact with prior to getting a car. Afterwards when questions about registration & other things come up there is ZERO communication. I’ve tried to get information about my registration and every person I talk to had no clue. I get nothing but your new plates should arrive soon. Called at 1pm on 1/23 asking for a supervisor, the supervisor would not take my call. Driveway DO BETTER!

Matt, we’re sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had after your purchase. You should be able to get clear answers about your registration, and we understand how frustrating it is to feel like you’re being passed around without real information or follow‑through. Not being able to reach a supervisor when you needed one only added to that frustration, and we appreciate you calling this out.

We’ve attached your feedback directly to your case so a Customer Satisfaction Agent can review the communication issues you described and look into what happened with your registration questions. They will reach out to you to discuss this further and make sure your concerns are addressed.

Thank you for taking the time to share this with us. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’re committed to doing better.

Excellent Service

First and foremost, the representative who I spoke with was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Her name is “Jaz” and she was very informative, as well as super knowledgeable when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. She answered all of my questions (Precisely) as well as made everything super easy for me to understand. I’d highly recommend her to anyone. This world needs more people like her in it. I’m also very happy with my purchase.

Driveway is the best!!!

I dealt with several people during the entire process, Cedrick was the initial contact. Matthew confirmed paperwork was on the way. Christiana followed up regarding the paperwork and provided very helpful information and instructions regarding filling all the documents out and mailing them back. Tyler finalized the entire deal. All the people involved provided top notch customer service. Tyler was fantastic. He explained the entire process on how to drop the vehicle off and get paid. He even provided an uber to drop me off at home after my car had been dropped off. I had a few questions along the way and Tyler was able to get back to me quickly. Overall, the process was super smooth and quick! Start to finish (initial estimate to car dropped off and direct deposit in my account), the entire process only took 11 days! I have never sold a car before and Driveway made it super simple and quick, and provided the best offer. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone looking to sell their car. If I am ever in a situation where I need to sell another car, I will certainly be choosing Driveway!!

Taking much longer than expected- nice processing online and all but if you need your car like yesterday going in person spending the whole day to leave with your vehicle might be a better option. I’m now having to rent another car spend more money for a job I need to travel to while waiting for the car I purchased online. Very nice people to help they respond quickly which of a plus, good company u just have to be very patient I ordered on the 14th of April it’s the 24th and I’m most waiting on the confirmation when my car will need on its way.

Gloria, we appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear the online process felt smooth and that our team was responsive, but we understand how difficult this delay has been for you. Waiting this long for your vehicle, especially when you need it for work, is incredibly frustrating, and we’re sorry you’ve had to rent another car in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience and for letting us know what you’ve been dealing with.

Hayden served as the primary contact for my husband's recent vehicle purchase! He was truly exceptional throughout the entire process.

Excellent Customer Service

I loved all the selections of vehicles that I could choose from online. I was able to take my time and choose the best choice for me and my budget. After connecting with Hayden it was smooth sailing from there! He walked me through every step of the process and was always available to answer any questions that I had. I felt like I was his only customer! He followed up with me after I picked up the car to see how things were going. followed up again a few days after that to make sure that I was still happy with my purchase. I must say that Hayden was absolutely amazing throughout this entire process. I will definitely refer him to anyone that I know wanting to purchase a car. You all are so lucky to have him!
