    We test drove 4 different vehicles. We decided on a Hyundai Accent for $9995. We've only had our vehicle for one day, so I'm hoping it lasts a while. The whole process was quick and easy, even with my bad credit history. Our down payment and bi-weekly payments are cheaper than I expected. I would recommend them to anyone with bad credit that's looking to buy a decent vehicle.

    The salesperson I worked with was great, I think she did a great job of explaining the process, I don't have any issue with her and don't want what follows to reflect on her. I drove a car off the lot a bit more than 24 hours ago, and then rushed home to get my dog to a vet appointment. I loaded her into the car I just got at the dealership, the car wouldn't start. I had to walk my dog 20 minutes to the vet, and 20 minutes back so I could clean up and get back to work for an event. Tried the car again, absolutely dead.

    Called the deal number, not much help. Finally was able to call back just now BECAUSE I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS, and got a couple of repair shop numbers. Repair shop starts talking about "bringing the car in" BUT I CAN'T, THE CAR IS DEAD. Turns out, I now have to call and pay the up front for a tow to take care of a car THAT SHOULD BE WORKING. So because I HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO and can't easily get to my dog's follow-up vet appointment, I will have to reschedule it. Which means she'll get her treatment later than she should. Now I have to run around trying to fix this myself, what a terrible investment. This whole process has lost me work time, money, and personal time.

    We got a nice, beautiful Honda Accord, and unfortunately, it decided to break down and lose all power. And everything on the seventh day when you have to be there by five days for them to fix it, however, Jordan help to make things right and the upper management also agreed to let us trade. The car for another one and they didn't even want another dime payment on the new one. They did make it right.

    I freaking love Drive Time!!! My grandson and I were stranded, and I filled out so many applications to so many dealers. All of them but Drive Time said that I was either not approved or wanted an un-godly amount down. Spoke to Robert at the Salem, Va location and he was the ONLY one that told me what I needed to do and what documents I needed. When I arrived, he made it so easy. Got me into such a beautiful SUV with only $200 down. He took time with me making sure I understood everything about the papers I was signing to my options and what my vehicle choice had to offer me. We walked around the vehicle, and he showed me all the features it had and how to work it. Before I drove off in it, he made sure I had all the apps I needed downloaded, auto pay set up, made sure I did not have any questions and even set my phone up to my radio. I highly recommend Drive Time!!!!!

    I do believe I have now reached a level of automotive satisfaction normally reserved for lottery winners and folks who inherit well. Let me tell you about a gentleman by the name of Colt over at DriveTime. If charm, competence, and an almost suspicious level of patience could be bottled, labeled, and sold, it would have Colt’s face on it. The man handled my car buying experience with such grace you would think I was being fitted for a tuxedo instead of signing paperwork. Not once did I feel rushed, confused, or like I needed a translator for dealership jargon. He explained everything so clearly I briefly considered asking him to come home and organize my pantry. Now, onto the crown jewel of this entire affair, my Cadillac Escalade.

    This is not a vehicle. This is a rolling declaration of success. This is what happens when comfort and power shake hands and decide to show off a little. I sit higher than my problems, glide smoother than sweet tea on a summer porch, and quite frankly, I suspect lesser vehicles move out of the way out of sheer respect. If this Escalade were a person, it would own land and give excellent advice.

    And yes, I am a returning customer, which in my world is about the highest compliment you can give. I do not return to places that do not treat me right. DriveTime, and Colt in particular, made sure I felt taken care of from the moment I walked in to the moment I drove off like I had somewhere important to be. If you are considering buying a vehicle, do yourself a favor. Go see Colt. Shake his hand. Let him work his magic. And prepare yourself, because you just might leave feeling like you have upgraded not only your car, but your entire outlook on life. Five stars. Possibly six if you count how good I look driving this Escalade.

    Overall, the experience was great. My sales associate, Adaria was professional, patient, and helpful throughout the process. Everything was straightforward and there were no surprises. I was in by 10AM and out by noon. The only thing I would recommend is that the company do a better job of tracking its clients. I received a lot of texts and some phone calls from other sales reps and even a manager before, after, and even during my time with Adaria.

    So far DriveTime has done everything they can do to help me. There was some kind of issue with the car transmission I picked so I brought it back the next day and they were more than happy to find me a different car or take that one to the shop to get fixed. I opted for a different car. Found one on one of the other lots and they called over to make sure it was available and transferred all the information and paperwork to that location. I was happy there was a warranty. I was going to take the car to a mechanic but the issue was very obvious when driving over 50 or on the freeway. The process was easy. They have tablets for the kids to play on making the car experience easier to get through and it wasn’t like I had to talk with one person to sale me the car and then a finance guy. They all do both the sales and finance part. The relaxed environment made it not so stressful to get through car buying process.

    Ilia (eye-Leah) and her team were very helpful. got me into the vehicle that worked for me and my family. I felt a little shuffled around, while she multitasked with other customers and her lunch, They also had a meeting in the middle of my visit discussing sales and what not which was uncomfortable for me as a customer to hear how they are pushing sales and etc. Getting this car was a huge deal for me and it would have made my experience better to be handled directly by Ilia instead of 2 other people. Sort of made me feel like ok I got that deal moving not she moved into the next.

    Ilia did make sure to communicate and and make sure we were not just sitting there but the entire experience at the dealership was about 4-5 hours. I brought up having the car washed and was told it would take a really long time and it was only water so I opted to take out to carwash myself only because I have Quick Quack membership but that was pretty disappointing considering I was financing a 16k vehicle and giving them 1500 down. It wasn’t a no but it felt like a lame offer that they knew would be refused. Just my opinion.

    I walked away with a car that I desperately needed so for that I’m majorly grateful for their help in getting me into a vehicle that worked for me. Thanks DriveTime!! Overall good experience! In the end I ended up with an amazing vehicle that I didn’t think I was gonna be able to swing. I also got to put the big green bow on my car which felt cool getting a newer to me vehicle. It’s a big purchase and deserves a big bow haha. Thanks guys! Sincerely, One happy mama with a new Volkswagen Atlas.

The warranty company is blaming the car shop the car shop is blaming the warranty company and the manager at the drive time won't answer my emails or call me.

    Found a vehicle online at the Savannah GA location. I was called quickly and after answering and asking a few questions I made an appointment, for 7:00 PM, to test drive the vehicle. My wife and I drove over an hour to the dealership. We arrived 30 minutes early and saw the vehicle sitting out front. My wife was really excited at the first sight of the vehicle. The vehicle was unlocked so we looked inside. At that time a salesperson came walking up telling us that vehicle was sold and to get out of it, in a very rude tone. We went in to check in and was informed that the vehicle was sold.

    When I informed the salesperson that greeted us that we had an appointment to test drive the vehicle, she told us that the appointment does not hold the vehicle. It would have been nice to have been informed of that when scheduling an appointment, especially after I made the appointment early in the afternoon and was called two separate times from two different asking if I was still coming to my appointment. The two ladies I interacted with while there were rude, condescending and nonchalant in their attitudes. It is safe to say the I will definitely let anyone I know who is looking for a vehicle to steer clear of this dealership. I sincerely hope others have had a better experience than I did.

    So I bought a Chevy trax and within a week, past the 5 days return policy, it started acting up. Contacted SilverRock, car was diagnosed and was going to cost more to fix than my purchase price. Driveline in Tallahassee, FL made it right. They offered to return the loan and let me pick out a different vehicle. I was so impressed with how I was treated after what I thought was going to be my longtime ride ending in a rare disaster, that I even increased my budget and got something with a little more bells and whistles. This was my first "big girl" purchase all on my own in a really long time, brought along my husband for support and to step in when my eyes got bigger than my set budget. 🙃

    I honestly don't know if this review will help or hurt but I hope it helps. The insurance company was awesome, I recommend budgeting to add them to your payment. Car repairs ain't cheap. Driveline has a lot of nicer vehicles at decent prices and allows you some control over your down payment, the add ons, nice selection of vehicles of every type, and most of all, they are going to do right by you.

    I am extremely dissatisfied with my experience at DriveTime. At the time of purchase, I was clearly told that my car payments would be due on the 1st and 15th of each month. I am on a fixed income, and this payment schedule was a major reason I agreed to move forward with the purchase. Only after everything was finalized did I find out that the account was actually set up for biweekly payments, meaning a payment is required every two weeks. At no point during the sales process was I told this. Had I known, I would not have agreed to the deal. To make matters worse, the financing company, Bridgecrest, has refused to change the payment terms and stated they will not even consider adjusting the schedule until six months of payments have already been made. This puts an unfair and unnecessary burden on someone living on a fixed income.

Said I was approved with $45 down and payments of $500 a month. Call the dealership on Greystone Blvd. in Columbia SC. The girl who answered was rude to start. I explained that my pre approval said my income and residence was already verified and it said no need to bring that proof and asked if I just needed to bring the down payment and id. She said no bring proof of income and residence and that they will have to run credit check to determine down payment. Why even have an online pre approval if I need to do all of that in dealership?

    The commercial even says get approved online and lock in financing. Why tell people you are approved for these terms only to get told in dealership sorry we need X amount down? Just to get warm bodies in the dealership? If I was approved online and told my down payment and monthly payment is set why do I need to jump through hoops when in dealership? This place just lies to us to get us in the door and flips on said approval. I even contacted their online agent and called their corporate.

    I spent about 15 years in the auto industry and found at yesterday there is an easier way for things to be done. Started on the website, Approved and had legitimate terms in two minutes. I was turned away at multiple places. I’ve made some past financial mistakes and from the second I started with Drive Time my past was forgiven. I have turned a new leaf and they give you the opportunity. All I needed was my License, my down payment & insurance. It’s really all seemed to good to be true till I was adjusting my seats and mirrors to head home in my new vehicle. Not only did I got approved. The payment is affordable, the car is practically brand new. Super low miles and mechanically sound. This makes buying a vehicle like purchasing a cup of coffee. You see everything you need. No need for high pressure sales tactics. Pleasant sales rep, Olivia was efficient and understood what I was looking for.

    We’ll start off with they're no better than a buyer payer only they charge more for the car. I bought a 2015 Camaro. It was dirty so I didn’t notice it but the next day I noticed that it was two different color blues and it had been wrecked. They act like they didn’t know but then I noticed other things. The passenger side door panel fallen off, had one clip holding it on the trunk leaking. The middle console, not going all the way down. The hood, not going all the way down and shut the body kit on the passenger side, broken and zip tied together. It completely reminded me of a buy here pay here car.. Then I’ll make reservations to go to Cincinnati to rewind the Camaro and get a Mustang.

    I start heading down there and I was gonna call the corporate office on the way so I did and they transferred me to down their Cincinnati branch. Just so I could find out they sold the car without even telling anybody that had you know test drive scheduled reservations whatever. So anyway, I called the loan company and find out that Carvana’s a part of it or put it this way Drivetime, Carvana and their Bridgecrest are all one and the same.. So anyway I call the loan company and find out that Carvana is a part of it. Well put it this way Drivetime, Carvana and their Bridgecrest are all one and the same.

    Drivetime is there for poor people. Call our lot that they sell junk too at high interest rate and overpriced. And Carvana obviously is people selling their cars which seemed to be better interest rates but they want huge down payment payments where Drivetime is zero. You know two or $300. It’s all part of the selling junk to us poor people with bad credit while selling the good stuff to the rich people. Worst experience I ever had.

    Updated on 02/21/2026: Purchased '22 Hyundai Sonata 2-4-26. Front fender is detached with scuffs on front with the fender itself showing 'ripples' left over from shoddy repair. Have 3 different brands of tires with completely different tread patterns, severely affecting steering, ride, and handling. Front rotors were warped, mechanic described them as toast. Air filter completely black. Windshield wipers not only worn but have scarred the windshield. Oil was very dark. Air sensor for the turbo failing, causing check engine light to remain on. Battery is rated at 25%. All service and warranty work has to go through and be approved through SilverRock.

    When pointed out to dealership, was given a printout with the numbers for SilverRock and Bridgecrest (the finance company). Was given 2 options for repair facility. Was told the tires roll and hold Air, therefore there is no failure. They did replace rotors and air filter. Having to pay for an oil change, tires, and wipers out of pocket $1545 total. For the sensor,, was told I had to take it to a Hyundai dealership, who wants to charge $150 for a diagnostic first. Staff from Drivetime also added 6 different scratches on top of the car removing the snow and ice, this is in addition to the 37 other scratches that were poorly touched up prior. I was taken.

    My advice to anyone shopping for a vehicle, regardless of credit situation, DO NOT purchase from Drivetime!!! The cars are overpriced, especially considering the condition, the interest rates are comparable to credit card rates, and you will quickly bury yourself into a situation that is impossible to pay for and make numerous repairs at the same time. Even the facility SilverRock sent me to, questions what they possibly could have checked in their resale inspection as so many items were glaringly obvious and ignored. Worse... Drivetime does not care. Was told that I could bring car back and deal with a voluntary repossession. Buyer beware is an inadequate statement, STAY AWAY from these people!!!!

    Original Review: Process was easy, staff was courteous and professional. However, the car purchased turned out to have body damage (reported as having no accidents) on the front end. Front fender is detached from the body and can see the ripples from the repair. Staff left 3 serious scratches removing snow from vehicle, has 3 different brand tires and treadmill patterns, front rotors are warped, 44 poorly done touch ups in the paint, one good, one useless windshield wiper. Estimated cost to repair/ replace tires and rotors $2000. Body work $1500. 3500 total repairs on a vehicle that was already overpriced as a vehicle listed in "excellent condition".

    Buyers beware!! On the surface, it seemed nice to have an alternative to help overcome credit issues, but in the end, overpaying for a vehicle at a substantially high interest rate, that has multiple issues adding further cost will very likely put you in an even worse position than what you went in with. I would recommend any and all options before considering a purchase at drive time.

    I’ve had this car for quite a while, and even when I was making every payment on time, the payoff balance barely changed. The car was already overpriced, but I was desperate and needed transportation. Looking back, this was a predatory sale. After a full year of payments, I still owe over $18,000 on a 2018 Hyundai Elantra, which is completely unreasonable. On top of that, my daughter’s car broke down just days after she bought it. The repairs were covered under warranty, yet they were refused. We couldn’t afford the repairs out of pocket, so she had no choice but to stop paying on the vehicle.

    It’s incredibly sad how quickly you’re mistreated once your finances are damaged—especially when that damage was caused by the dealership itself. This has impacted our stability and quality of life. As someone who has worked in car sales myself, I now tell everyone I meet to avoid dealing with you.

    I am currently dealing with Bridgecrest regarding a vehicle repossession, and the lack of transparency and communication has been extremely concerning. My first payment was less than three weeks late and was later brought current. The delay occurred because the vehicle was unusable due to a serious mechanical issue covered under warranty, which left me without the car for weeks and required me to pay for a rental. Bridgecrest was notified of the situation.

    When purchasing the vehicle, I was told by the dealership that it had never been in an accident. However, when the vehicle was inspected by a mechanic due to the mechanical failure, I was advised that there were clear signs of prior accident damage, including aftermarket parts, visible welding, and rust in the engine compartment — issues that should have been apparent during inspection.

    Despite the payment being cured and the vehicle being under active warranty repair, the vehicle was repossessed. Since then, I have repeatedly requested a written reinstatement or redemption amount and clarification of my options, but Bridgecrest has not provided clear information in writing and has gone silent for extended periods.

    While a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is pending, I received electronic notice that my access to the vehicle was revoked and that the vehicle was moved from its storage location, without any clear notice of sale or disposition being provided. This situation has left me without transportation despite my efforts to resolve the matter in good faith. I strongly encourage anyone considering financing to carefully review how disputes, repossessions, and vehicles with mechanical or prior damage issues are handled.

    So I had been debating buying a new car for a while, And this last week has forced me into it, but that being said, I started looking for cars and my credit isn't the greatest or the worst but I still needed a car with a low down payment to get me started. So I found Drive Time, I did the prequalified to see if I qualified and I did and I couldn't believe the low down payments were really that low, but it was!!! I made an appointment for and went down there and spoke with Gabriella. She was fantastic, They greeted me when I walked in the door and I signed in and took a seat, Gabriella came over and introduced herself and told me she would be there soon she was finishing up with another couple and she would be done soon. When she came to get me she had the car ready that I had chosen to test drive ready to go no waiting, she handed me the keys and I went out.

    I was satisfied with the car and went to have a seat at her desk, there was no high pressure sales. No nagging etc. I love that. I told her I wanted that car and we discussed the terms and started with paperwork, Gabriella had me out in under an hour and on the road with my new Hyundai Tucson. Not only did I buy the car but it came with a 5 year 50k warranty!!! That's unheard of for a used car, only a $100.00 deductible after the 1st 30 days. It's free until then. Not only that she helped me set up my bank info with the finance company, the car came with a LoJack no doubt to locate if I miss payments but I can also use it if the car is stolen So it's a win/win situation for us both.

    Gabriella was great!! I'll use Drive time again if I buy a car. But I want to be clear!!! The low down payment is real!! There are no hidden tactics to get you in the door. I also want to mention I'm a TRANS WOMAN and I was treated with the same respect any other woman would get. So this is an LGBTQ safe dealership! NO JUDGEMENT!!! Thank you so much Gabriella.

They have a full line of cars and it's way better than catching a bus or trac. I like to go places. The sale agent Lisa was phenomenal!! She was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. No pushy sales and it was all on my terms. Thank you so much for all your help. This place is great and I highly recommend going there.

    Good ol east side Cleveland customer service. All I did was look around their website as was called several times urging to make an appointment. So I did got there and was told someone would be right with me. After about 40 minutes I got up saying I didn’t want to wait anymore and salesman at his desk shrugs his shoulders at me so that’s that. I wouldn’t be mad had I not got called a bunch of times to make an APPOINTMENT. Complete waste of time.

    Drivetime is a joke. I'll just tell you, I did an online approval form. PUT IN ALL MY INFORMATION AND NOTHING CHANGED. Online said I was approved for cars with little to no money down and I put in my income based off my last paystub of 2025. They tried to say it's $1,200 less than what it really is and I even had the paystub. NOW THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO HAVE $1,450 plus down AND NOW MIND YOU, NOTHING CHANGED. THIS WAS OUT OF THE FAIRFIELD OHIO LOCATION, working with Lemont.

    I came in and John was quick to help. Less than hour I was driving off with my new 2020 GMC Denali and I couldn't have been more excited. I was in a bind and John showed compassion and understanding and helped me get what I wanted.
