Honest John erased. Appalling interface. No classic car reviews. No longterm tests. No reliability data. Shameless promotion of Volkswagen group. Who designed this utter rubbish. Gott Im Himmel.

About Drive

Written by the company

A better way to get moving

Drive is the new name for heycar. We’re building on the excellent customer reputation heycar earned, with the same commitment to making it easier and more reassuring to find your next vehicle.

Getting on the road looks different for everyone.

Some people want to buy a used car outright. Others prefer leasing because it suits how their life works right now. What's right for one person won't be right for the next, and that's fine. Circumstances change, priorities shift.

The hard part is usually making sense of all the options out there. That's what Drive is for. Drive is a digital marketplace that brings different ways of getting on the road into one place. You can explore a wide range of Volkswagen Group vehicles and funding options, see what's available, compare what actually matters to you, and make a decision that feels right.

With Drive you can:

  • Browse thousands of approved used vehicles from Volkswagen Group and other authorised retailers.

  • Explore new leasing offers alongside used cars.

  • Compare buying, leasing and finance options to understand what best fits your budget.

  • Read expert reviews, buying guides and helpful advice to support your decision.

  • Move forward with confidence, knowing every vehicle is warranty-backed and supplied through approved retailers.

Finding your next car should feel exciting, not exhausting. That's why we've built something simple and easy to navigate, designed around how real people actually go about this. No pressure. No unnecessary complexity. Just the support you need to move with confidence.

Confidence backed by expertise

Trust matters when you're making a decision like this.

Drive is brought to the UK exclusively by Volkswagen Financial Services, working hand in hand with Volkswagen Group's approved retailer network. Together that's decades of experience helping people get on the road - and a network that knows the Volkswagen Group brands inside out.

It means every vehicle comes from a source that understands these cars, with finance options provided through Volkswagen Financial Services - bringing consistency, transparency and confidence to the whole experience.

Behind the simplicity of Drive is a strong foundation of expertise: warranty-backed vehicles, approved retailers and expert reviews and guides written by people who know these cars, there to guide your decisions from first search through to ownership.

Excellent Service Highly recommend

I was a bit apprehensive about buying a car online, but after speaking with Petya she was very informative and really put my mind at ease. She kept in regular contact, updating me every step.My car was delivered to me and I couldn’t be happier with it. Excellent customer service from Petya and Heycar. Would highly recommend.

Wouldn’t recommend this company to my…

Wouldn’t recommend this company to my enemy!!! They were quick to take my money then I waited 6 weeks before receiving the Audi A6. Minimal information on lead time, what was going on with the car or when I would get it. Car arrived absolutely filthy. Professional driver that delivered said he may have got caught speeding on way so to keep his number!! Upon inspection of the vehicle there are multiple faults on the dash. Showing several safety features are not working. Can’t get hold of anyone on the phone. All communication by email. Then told just 24hrs after delivery to take the car to a garage and get it looked and to use the warranty that came with the purchase. This is not what a warranty is for. You expect a car to come to you with no issues. Not have half the advertised features not working. False advertising!!! Absolutely disgusting service. Now have a car sat outside that needs to be taken to an Audi main dealer and will cost nearly £1000 out of my own pocket to fix!!!! Have sent emails and left voicemails but no one has called me back. Avoid at all cost. If a car price is too good to be true then there’s a reason for that. Hey Car should be ashamed of how they conduct themselves. Leaving customers out of pocket, stressed and having their time wasted.

Excellent service from heycar

Excellent service from heycar, always kept me informed of each step of the process from start to finish. Big thanks to Petya and Kelly for all their help and answering all my emails. Car arrived within a week, car need a clean as it was driven down to me. The driver was polite, courteous and knowledgeable. First time to buy a car online, happy with service provided and the quality of the car. From my experience I would recommend HeyCar.

Not a good experience

We chose to buy a car through Heycar as they offered free delivery, which the dealer wouldn't do. Was the stress worth the free delivery? I'd say no. The Heycar system appears to remove any connection between the car and the customer. Questions about the car go unanswered, wrong information given about the car, no clarity on where your money, or car is. The user dashboard online tells you nothing, you send them money and are left waiting days thinking you've been scammed with no updates or reassurance. They don't answer the phone and rarely answer emails. One month on and we are still chasing aftercare. Only good point was the car did arrive and we are pleased with it, although for £27k you'd think they would valet it properly

Excellent all round service.

Having never bought a car on line before I was a little apprehensive to say the least at doing so, however the experience from start to finish was excellent. Special mentions to Henor from sales and to Tilly and Kelly the after sales administrators were specially helpful and lastly the chap delivering the car to my door. Great stuff.

This was my first experience of buying a car online. I found the service provided by Heycar to excellent. Both Henor and in particularly Kelly Smith provided a personal professional service and delivered on time all that they promised. I have now completed the purchase of a car for my daughter and she is thrilled with the vehicle I purchased from Heycar. Thank you and I received the best service that I could have hoped

Would strongly recommend not using this service. The process itself was poor with extended periods without update. When the car arrived it was absolutely filthy, bumper hanging off which was not in pictures or description. Missing the spare key, also not in description. The bloke dropping it just chucked the key at me and walked off. Im trying to return the car, since advising them of this they are unresponsive via email or phone, phone doesnt even go on hold just asks you to leave a voicemail. Now stuck with a car on my drive i dont want and cash stuck with heycar.

All Customer Service …

I ordered a car from a car five weeks ago and despite multiple emails promising the delivery they are now not responding whatsoever. I intend to ask for a refund but I can’t even do that because they’re not responding and the phone is not being picked up at all.

I found Heycar very easy and trustworthy to deal with. The Car I bought fell below my expectations and wanted to return it. Petya and the customer service team where very helpful and communicated well. Obviously disappointed with the outcome of having to send the car back, which potentially could have been avoided with more photos. But overall the service was very good and the money was returned without any issues.

I purchased an online car from Heycar with a cashback offer. The deal I had was really competitive. I dealt with Petya and Diogo, mainly by email but phone as well. My advice to anyone would be Heycar don't answer the phone but they will reply to emails and call you if you ask. The service I got my Petya and Diogo was brilliant they both were they helpful and tried everything they could to sort out any problems. I did have issues along the way and the car did take some time to come. However I did receive compensation for the issues. The car arrived and it was good it could of been a lot cleaner, but I am happy with it. I think I saved over £1000 compared to other dealers. I would recommend Heycar but don't expect your car to come fast.
