August 23, 2013 I leased a Chevy trailblazer and loved it but it was really too big and did not need the space just needed to get into something. Now I have a 2006 Hyundai Santa Fe. I have had great people every time. Terrence, Jeff, Huntleigh, and Josh - love them all. As long as DriveTime is in business when I need a vehicle, I will deal with them.

I purchased a vehicle from DriveTime in 2014 of March. I have had nothing but problems with this SUV. Every month it's something different - my brakes making horrible noise, yet nothing is wrong with them. My engine blew and I was out of a vehicle for three weeks. I only had the car for one week when this happened and yes I had to pay for a car that I did not have! Then after I got it back three weeks later, it was in again because it would not start. And now three weeks later all the check lights are on again. So I got sold a car that is broken and Will they give me a better car? I'm sure not!! Wish I could get a different car!! Very unhappy. Will not get a car from them again!
We are sorry to hear that you have had mechanical issues with your vehicle so soon after purchase. DriveTime does inspect and repair our vehicles before sale. However, with a used vehicle there is no way to predict when a new failure will occur. The Drive Time Vehicle protection Plan can assist with many of these repairs as it did with your engine replacement. Please give us some time to review your account, and a Customer Relations Representative will contact you to see if we can assist with your concerns. If you would like immediate assistance, you can call Customer Relations Directly at 888-290-0148.

Based on the complaints I have read! I guess I am fortunate the repairs were made under the 30 day warranty. I am angry because they knew the AC needed a new compressor and thermostat, but sold the car to me hoping the temporary fix they had put in place would last 30 days and I would be stuck with the $1051.00 cost to repair. I would have too had I not had a death in my family causing me to put several hundred miles on the car. I will never go back to the Ocala location. The manager is lazy and dishonest. Ron, the sales rep acted like we were inconveniencing him.
We apologize that you had repair issues with the vehicle so soon after purchase. We also sincerely apologize for any bad customer service you received for any of our personnel. This is definitely not the experience we want a new customer to have with DriveTime. Under the optional 3 year 36,000 mile Vehicle Protection Plan, an Air Conditioner Compressor would still be covered, even after the first 30 days and 1500 miles. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact the Customer Relations Department at 888-290-0148.

I appreciate the fact that Drive-Time contacted me so quickly. We are working on a resolution.
Original Review: June 4, 2014
For the first time in over 3 years, we were 32 days late with a payment, 2 days past the limit that report is made to credit bureau. Even though assured when payment was made that a negative report was not made, DT still reported us as being late! They lie!
We apologize for your frustration. We know how important accurate credit reporting is to our customers. DriveTime strives to make sure all of our customer’s credit reports are correct. Please give us some time to review your credit reporting, and a Customer Relations Representative will contact you to discuss your concerns. For immediate assistance, you can call Customer Relations at 888-290-0148.

I have been charged more than $23,000 for a vehicle worth less than $5000 according to Kelly Blue Book! This was my first time buying a car on my own and the 2009 Hyundai Elentra has had the transmission replaced TWICE in less than 8 months and the tried replaced due to the faulty alignment that was present when I first bought the car!
When I called the company and asked if I could trade it in on another car, the very rude response was: "Only after the balance is paid down to $4000 or less!" That's because, I learned later, that is the base value for the car. I am posting my experience everywhere I can in hopes of warning others before they make the same mistakes I did. According to RipOffReport.com, this company already has almost 1000 complaints against it....and if MY experience is anything like other people's, those complaints will certainly be growing!
I am now faced with destroying my credit or having a THIRD transmission and a second set of tires...all with 8 months! I even paid for the "extended warranty" and the company would only pay for a USED transmission when it was replaced! This company only wants to take the money and RUN!

Overall was a good experience. The staff was friendly and helpful. I do believe after some research that I was overcharged somewhat for the vehicle that I purchased and also by the time I got home I had to get a tire repaired that was low on air pressure when I test drove the truck and I just assumed they did more than just air up the tire. Overall so far, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Purchased vehicle on March 3. 5 minutes after driving off lot engine light was on. Took it back immediately they said my gas cap wasn't tight. Took it home, I really like truck ever since then the engine light stays on and "gas cap" light is on now too. It's been serviced 3 times, not to mention it will stall out while in reverse. Just yesterday it started alarming the alarm and doors are locked but all dash lights are on in vehicle plus my radio is playing with truck beeping like crazy, lights flashing, gauges going nuts but my keys are in my hand. The panic button on keychain doesn't stop it and it's not remote start. All electric is going nuts with no keys in ignition.
It happened all night so I had to unplug battery so it wouldn't die. This morning when I plugged battery back in and tried to start truck it wouldn't start. When finally started the gas pedal wouldn't work. They say they can't help me unless I pay the diagnostic fee for it. No, I've done everything I'm supposed to. You sold it to me like this, now you won't help me. Tried to transfer into different vehicle - can't do that without $500. But just 2 months ago you gave\took my car. I got a grand plus I put top more down but you promise to sell vehicles that have been reviewed, drove tested, etc. People nice but still not helping me.

Well, where should I start. Let's just say a month after I purchased my car, I had to take it to the shop. The ac was messed up and my oil was black. Not to mention, my brakes are squeaking and scrubbing. So the inspection that was promised to me wasn't done. Not to mention, I set up payment arrangements on the past due portion on my account through the web portal to automatically be drafted out of my account, got a confirmation number/approval code and woke up and my car was gone. I was told by someone at Drivetime that although the web portal allows you to set up eft drafts, that it does not mean anything. When I called before I set up the payment, I told the representative my plans and I needed her to reset my account, so I an set it up, she said ok, that was fine and she reset my account. I'm very pissed because if you are not going to allow what your web portal says, then why is it an option for customers to set up efts. When the portal gives you confirmation/approval. It makes no sense and am very disappointed.
My state have been declared and emergency state due to the flood, I've been misplaced from my job due to the flood, and have been dealing with serious medical issues and I'm just shocked at the lack of compassion from this company. But I guess they have so many customers that who cares about one. I've always been on time with my payments until now. Then no one tried to notify me that my account was in the the "recovery stages" and the guy that I spoke with was rude. How is it my fault that your companies web portal is not accurate. I've never had to deal with a car company that did not even try to help the customer.

Like the song says... Clap along if your HAPPY and I sure am. As soon as you walk in the door your greeted with a smile and a "How may we help you?", which is great because you feel welcomed. Once you meet your sales rep, it's all about you and what you need. More importantly how they can help you get in a car that you like and CAN afford. It's not like other places that seem like they need to make their quota and try to get you in a car you can't afford. The staff is there to make sure you get a car you like and can afford. There is plenty of options to choose from and if you don't want a car, they don't try to get you to stay and force your hand. I highly recommend DriveTime to 1st time buyers and anyone who is looking to buy a car.

It is good to go to a place where people are smilling and so willing to help. The salesman, Mr. **, was excellent. He took time with me first to see what car will fit our budget and down payment. Then he took extra time with my husband, driving him around, and listening to him which, believe me, is more than a miracle because my husband will talk, talk and talk forever. I am so happy we went to DriveTime and when we decide to buy another car, that is where we will be going first. God bless each member of the Tallahassee Staff.

Purchased a vehicle from DriveTime in Conyers, Ga. and within a month had to take the vehicle to a shop for a knock in the front end and excessive tire wear. The shop found "excessive rust" under the front end of the vehicle and stated that there was corrosive rust on the frame of the vehicle. I contacted DriveTime who had me take the vehicle to a second shop for another opinion. The second shop called DriveTime and reported that the rust had damaged the sub-frame of the vehicle and that they did not feel comfortable working on the vehicle and that the vehicle was not safe to drive. DriveTime reviewed pictures of the vehicle and stated that it was only surface rust. I then took the vehicle directly to Ford. The Ford mechanics found "Heavy rust on pinch welds (sub-frame) to the point of metal flaking off" and stated "this vehicle should not have ever been sold." So after three shops (including the company that built the vehicle) found significant frame damage because of rust, do you think DriveTime took responsibility for selling an unfit vehicle? Of course not. "Just surface Rust". At this point, I have been stonewalled by DriveTime saying that Customer relations is the highest point of escalation and that there is no one higher for me to talk to.

The same day we drove off the lot the car broke down and for three days we have tried to figure out what would happen. Customer service has not helped us get back in a car. They just continue to ask for money from us. We had to pay the tow fee and we have not had a car for three days. We keep getting the run around from the dealer and customer service. NO one can answer our question about the car or our money being returned. Also customer service will not help us get a rental while we are out of a car. We are also being asked to pay a return fee of $200 after the car broke down the same day we bought it. The actually sales reps were very friendly but that was the only people who have helped.

I went with my mom to test drive a car through their new lease program. A day prior, they showed my mom and her friend a Kia that she was interested in. Unfortunately, it had a front alignment issue, vibrated over 60 mph, and pulled to the left during braking. Today, I test drove a different car and it was crappy. The car has a rattling noise every time we hit a bump in the road or go over a hump. Then there was the brakes. The salesman said every car has different braking pattern. I said **! The worst thing about this car was the brakes would not engage unless the brake pedal was pressed almost to the floor.
Top top it all off, it pulled to the right, hence another front alignment issue or something wrong with the tires. The tires were funny because the fronts were brand new but the rear looked like it was nearly bald. The person we dealt with was such a smart ** because he tested my knowledge about another car nearby. That car had obvious front end damage and the body work could have been done better by a high school auto shop. After complaining about the car, we went inside to look at another car and unfortunately they left us sitting at a table for 15 minutes. We were fed up and left the dealership. So never go to DT for a used car whatsoever.

We apologize for the issues you had with your vehicle and with the sales staff at the dealership. This is clearly not the experience we want a new customer to have.

DriveTime includes a Vehicle Protection Plan that covers most repairs in the first 30 days or 1500 miles. If you had chosen not to return your vehicle, DriveTime could have certainly assisted you with getting the vehicle repaired at no cost to you. We sincerely apologize if any DriveTime employees were less than professional in handling your concerns. Because your vehicle has been returned. Your Autopay will not activate.

The sales person that I had in the beginning was very nice and pleasant. I called him from work to let him know that I had decided on the Nissan Altima and that I did not want the extended warranty, but when I got there I was greeted by Byron. He was flat-out rude, who tried to belittle me because I didn't want the warranty. He said, PLEASE MAKE ME UNDERSTAND (like he was speaking to a 10 year-old). He was so pushy to the point that I walked out. I understand that DriveTime would much rather sell a car to someone who is willing to purchase the extended warranty (which adds 20 MONTHS to the life of the loan) than to sell to someone who is willing to purchase their own warranty without the interest rate. Byron did call to apologize after my husband called, but not before then. I told him that I do not trust him now and I was afraid that he may do something to the car.

I felt like a bait and switched happened. After they ran my info and gave me the choice of five vehicles, I decided that I wanted the 2012 Mazda 2 red color. It was priced at $13,100, which I thought was reasonable. I told the rep Justin that I wanted the red one. He and other rep Kimberly, told me that they had a red one available. When I showed up, they only had the black Mazda. Now I checked this red Mazda out through and through carefully, your website specifically stated this vehicle was at the Irving TX location. When I mentioned this to Justin, he fed me some lie about how the cars are at different lots and that it would be a huge hassle to get a vehicle from one dealership to another, which I found to be very strange and out of the norm of a NORMAL dealerships.
I also found it insulting that he would assume I would be stupid enough to want a car that's at another dealership. Go through the standard paperwork and procedure. I get out to do my inspection with Justin and I noticed that the car had no gas, the vehicle wasn't even washed. There was plastic all over the front seats. I didn't find the floor mats until I got the MAZDA home. I had to install the mats myself. There was trash, papers, used jewelry (absolutely gross), hair balls, used q-tips all inside and under the seats. So after I had signed all the paperwork, I decided to do some research online.
I entered the VIN at the Kelley Blue book website that my Mazda 2 was being sold for $3000 less than what I agreed to at your dealership - $12,100. The monthly payments were a lot better too. Blue book said I should be paying $268 a month. I'm paying $212 bi-weekly. This made me so upset and angry. I just hate myself for getting swindled into this debt trap. I'm forced to have to live with friends now to just to survive. I need a car. I need it, especially here in Texas. Now, at this point, I understand since I did sign the paperwork, I'm stuck. However, I cannot in good faith endorse, or refer anyone to DriveTime because of what happened to me. I wouldn't want someone I care about to be stuck like I am.
We apologize for your frustrations with your recent purchase. Because DriveTime offers financing to customers with less than perfect credit the cost and interest rates of the financing is at a premium. There is no excuse for the vehicle being dirty or not having any gas in it. Please give us some time to research your account.

I went to the Indianapolis location (Shadeland Ave) and took care of everything with the only thing needing to be done when arrived in Columbus, OH to pick up my vehicle was to complete contact, pay downpayment and drive away with my car. When I got to Columbus everything went downhill real quick. They did not have the right vehicle out or ready. The vehicle I was to get was in the garage needing a battery. I was told that I needed $1800 down instead of the $1200 I was told. Needless to say I was quite frustrated as I and my wife had taken off the morning from work and clearly anticipated returning with a car and ready to go to work for the afternoon. We ended up leaving with no vehicle and on our way to the interstate to return home we got in contact with Larry ** at the Indianapolis location to let him know of the problems that had taken place.
He in turn had his manager contact the Columbus location and had everything taken care of but we were unable to return that same day. I was able to return the following day and the vehicle had not been cleaned (even though they knew I was returning) and I was promised a full take of gas and got 3/4. This was definitely an experience that could have received a 1 star rating but I am pleased that I got the car that I wanted even though I has to make an extra trip to Columbus which would not have been necessary if everyone had done their job. I want to recognize Larry for a job well done as he was the only one that seem interested enough to make this deal work (as well as his manager)!!!

This is the second time we've had to use the total loss protection plan through DriveTime. The first time was over a year ago and was a very pleasant experience. This time however was less than pleasant. I visited the branch on a Monday to look at our options for another vehicle. I chose an 06 Kia Sedona to look at and most likely to take home. From the low quality pictures I was shown, it looked to be in decent condition and it was within our price point. My husband and I returned on Wednesday at 10 am to test drive the Sedona and fill out the paperwork.
We were severely disappointed in the van. The steering wheel was so cracked a few pieces fell off into my hand as I drove, the vehicle rattled when we drove it, the sliding side doors would not close from the inside, and it was dingy and had an unpleasant smell. Yvonne was very friendly and helpful, doing everything she could to find us another vehicle. Unfortunately that did not go well. She found a Chevy Impala that was at a different branch, that we were told was available. We left to put our son down for a nap while she went to pick it up.
Almost 2 hours later, she called back saying that the Impala was not available and she was on her way back with a Chrysler Sebring. We agreed on this vehicle because it seemed to be the only one left in our price point. We then went to make a payment towards our deductible, which I was told that I had to have a money order. We get to the place to make the payment and they tell us they don't take that type of money order. I ended up having to go to the bank inside the store and opening an account to cash the money order to go pay. I was sent in without any instructions besides go in and tell them you need to make a payment to DriveTime. After almost an hour of trying to get the payment done, we were on our way back to the branch, where it took another 3 hours to complete the paperwork and everything else. We ended up not getting finished until 6 pm. Overall this time was not a good experience.
We truly apologize for the ordeal you went through getting into this vehicle. This is obviously not the experience we would like our customers to go through to get into a vehicle, or to replace a vehicle under the Total Loss Protection Plan.

My experience at Drive Time was great! We just went to check the cars only and in a couple of hours we were leaving with a car that met our expectations and well surpasses. The website was very useful and got contacted by you in a matter of minutes to set an appointment.

My husband and I came into the Chandler, AZ location and worked with Estevon. Daryl helped us out too. Both were very nice and helped us find the right car for us without pushing. I would recommend this location to others for sure. We had a great experience and will be back for sure!!!

I recently had my household's second car completely die. I needed a car ASAP and I have bad credit and little money down and no trade so I was pleasantly surprised that Drive Time got me in a car for a little down, easy payments and the process from start to finish was so quick and streamlined. I am pleased with the vehicle we are leasing and look forward to working with them again, should I need to.

Went to the dealership and approval within 15 minutes. I already have a vehicle picked out so we made arrangements to get the vehicle to the store. Papers were signed and I was out the door. Easiest process I've ever experienced.

We were amazed with friendly service we received during the process. When we pulled on the lot we liked the choices of vehicles available. The lot was neat and clean as well as inside. Liked the fact of determining what our budget before looking over the selection. Sales people pulled about 4 nice cars which was in our price range. We made our selection. I was a little disappointed with the interest rates but I do love the fact I have 60 days to bring more down payment money to lower rates and payment. That is a big plus. The process seemed long but went smooth and accurate. Everything was discussed. I did like the fact of seeing the history. It has been a long time since my last car purchase. I would highly recommend Drive Time to family and friends. At this time I am well please with the service, process, and my purchase.

I was told it was required that I have the gap & power train protection. After I get home I was reading over my contract, it clearly states I do not have to purchase those services. Why did the manager & salesman lie to me having me to sign up for the services? I want out of those services. They are expensive.

I received excellent service from everyone at the Petersburg Drive Time. No complaints there. The only thing I didn't like is that when I had gone online to view the vehicle I wanted... the description said it included a DVD player. But the vehicle did not include a player. Also I thought I may have been paying for something that was described to be there but wasn't. I asked the saleswoman about it and she said sometimes they get the description wrong and that I wasn't paying for the player. Other than that my entire experience was great and I would certainly recommend others to purchase from Drive Time. My time in and out was good too.

This is our experience at Torrance. We don't like the car and its performance. The car seemed to be unsuitable. My experience started off poorly and I have never seen such unprofessional people at a car dealership. It was very clear to me all that mattered was take the car and leave. The walk around was done with a quick silver tongue and poor execution. I felt embarrassed and sadden. I had to get a car for me and my children. I felt my excitement go from a ten to a one.
I think Drive as a company has a great concept but poor execution by their employees will certainly give them a bad reputation. This is as fair as I can be. The guy helping me was drunk, I could smell it on him. The finance guy was not a professional and if Drive Time were to go up there under cover they would be shock past unbelief. The car have some major issues and I am certain corporate doesn't know that the cars are a hot mess.
We truly apologize for any unprofessional behavior from our dealership personnel. We would like to speak to you about this so we can get more information about your experience which we will forward to upper management. If your vehicle has mechanical issues we may be able to assist with repairs under the vehicle protection plan. Please give us some time to research your account, and a Customer Relations Representative will contact you to discuss your concerns.
