What started out as a good experience has now turned out to be not so great. The initial sales process was great, but then the contact from them slowed, I had to contact them to ask about delivery dates, which took over a week to be confirmed. When the car finally arrived, the first thing I noticed was that all the windows were open?? This seemed strange, 3 days in, I now think this was due to the smell of dampness when the windows are closed! The delivery guy asked if I was aware there was only one key, which I wasn’t. He advised I call the sales man , which I did and was told they would look into this for me. Just had a call from another person this morning, to say that this is standard procedure and I should have been informed of this…… took 3 days to come back with this answer? Upon delivery, I asked for the V5 documents, I was told that they would be sent to me directly from DVLA as the car had been taxed in my name, I was shown a screen on the guys phone showing the tax and MOT status, both valid till August 2027. Happy days, I thought. My husband had a look on the DVLA site that evening and the car still showed as being taxed. I drove to my work the next morning and at lunchtime, my husband called me to say he had checked again, and the car no longer had valid tax, I logged in and he was correct. Called Hippo to be told that the delivery guy was wrong and should not have told me the vehicle was taxed! But he did, he also showed both myself and my husband the ‘proof’ and if not, then where was the V5? I drove an untaxed vehicle because of this and, if not for my husband checking, would have continued to do so for the next year, or until I was stopped and charged, completely unacceptable. I’m sorry I have became involved with this company, and more than a little concerned for the next 4 years. I can only hope that the car holds up, as based on my experience with Hippo so far, I doubt very much that they would be helpful in any way if things were to go wrong. A very worrying and expensive lesson learned.
Happy to inform that the issue regarding the spare key has been quickly and satisfactorily resolved, I’ve updated my star rating accordingly.

Just bought a new car and had the pleasure of working with Corrie and Matt, two absolute gents and couldn’t have made the process more smoother for us. I recently moved back to the UK from living abroad for the last 7 years and was in desperate need of a new car and Corrie showed me some good options, zero pressure on a decision and just clear and helpful throughout. On the day of purchase I dealt with Matt, who made that whole process just as seamless! I’ll definitely going back for car number 2.
