Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you get started.

How does DRIVN work?

Simple. You tell us what you want — make, model, trim, color, must-haves. We take it from there. Depending on your tier, we analyze your deal, locate the vehicle, or handle full pricing research and dealer outreach on your behalf. You show up when it’s time to sign.

What’s the difference between the three tiers?

DRIVN Deal Analysis ($250) — you found a deal and want us to review it before you commit. DRIVN Vehicle Locator ($500) — you know what you want, we search dealer inventory and find your best options. DRIVN Full Consult ($1,000) — our complete service. We locate, research, conduct dealer outreach, and present you with a vetted deal ready to sign.

Is DRIVN a car dealer?

No. DRIVN is a consumer consulting service. We do not buy, sell, or take title to any vehicle. You purchase directly from the selling dealership. DRIVN is not a party to your vehicle purchase.

Does DRIVN get paid by dealers?

Never. Our flat fee from you is our only compensation. We do not accept referral fees, kickbacks, or incentives from any dealer, manufacturer, or lender. That’s how we stay on your side.

Do you work with new and used cars?

Both. New, used, certified pre-owned. If it’s on a lot or in a private listing, we can track it down.

How long does it take?

Deal Analysis is typically delivered within 24 hours. Vehicle Locator and Full Consult depend on what you’re looking for — most clients have a solid match within 3–7 days.

Is there a consultation fee?

No. Book a consult at no charge. We’ll talk through what you’re looking for, recommend the right tier, and get started from there.

How do I pay?

Payment is a flat one-time fee per service — no hidden charges, no commission tied to the car price. You know exactly what you’re paying before we start. All payments are processed securely through Stripe using 256-bit encryption. See our Pricing page for details.

Do I sign the purchase agreement with DRIVN?

No. You contract directly with the selling dealership. All financing, warranties, title transfers, and registration are between you and the dealer. DRIVN provides consulting and research — we are not a party to the transaction.

Can I use DRIVN if I already found a car I like?

Absolutely. That’s exactly what the Deal Analysis tier is for. Upload your deal and we’ll tell you if the numbers make sense, what fees to push back on, and whether the car is worth what they’re asking.

What if I’m not happy with the result?

We stand behind our work. If we can’t locate the vehicle you described or the deal doesn’t make sense, we’ll tell you honestly — and we won’t push you into something that doesn’t fit. Reach out to our team and we’ll make it right. See our Refund Policy for details.

What if you can’t find what I want?

We’ll let you know. If we’re unable to locate a vehicle matching your criteria within a reasonable timeframe, we’ll discuss your options — including adjusting your search or issuing a refund. See our Refund Policy for details.
