They made me a fair offer, not the highest or lowest, but 60% more than any dealer. Then the process was as smooth as silk. They have a finely tuned process and knowledgeable employees. After first contact it took about 10 days including two weekends to complete. Once I returned the paperwork, the details were finalized, the car picked-up and I had the money in the bank in 24 hours.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing Driveway to sell your vehicle, Gary. We're glad to hear you felt the offer was fair and that it stood out compared to what you were seeing from dealers.
It’s great to know the process felt smooth from start to finish and that our team’s knowledge and coordination made a difference. Completing everything in about 10 days, including weekends, and then wrapping things up with pickup and payment within 24 hours is exactly the kind of efficient experience we aim to deliver.
We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and are grateful for your trust in Driveway.
Shannon was a great communicator and made everything easy and fast. I wish everyone was as pleasant to work with as she is

Where to begin! This is an amazing company. Driveway is simply an outstanding company that simplifies the way you sell a vehicle. They make the transaction so smooth and convenient. Every single person from the start to the finish of the sale that I have been in contact with is simply amazing!!! Very courteous, friendly, respectful and so knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend them to all my friends and family. Also one very important thing to point out . They are Fair! Compared to other companies that to me seem to just low ball you . They don’t , they are fair on the offers they give you . So that for me It’s a win win situation for both parties .

Hello Hanish,
Delays with registration and plate processing can sometimes occur, but it’s important that communication remains consistent and that you’re kept informed throughout the process. It’s clear that hasn’t been your experience here.
We understand your frustration and know that being unable to connect with support or the dealership can make the experience feel even more concerning. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and a Customer Care agent will be reaching out to you soon.
Do NOT buy from this company! Everything starts smoothly and then when they send you your packet, it’ll go smoothly but right when you sign to wait for transport your vehicle will be literally be sitting there for days waiting all while you have a car payment due soon and no sense of urgency getting your vehicle to you. They will tell you”Sorry we have having some delays” it will be anywhere from 5- 8 days to get you a carrier but really it’s because they are trying pocket money for a “Broker fee” by sitting your transport too low so, no carrier wants to even mess with it until they raise the price up. Unless you personally plan to pick up your vehicle from states away do NOT use driveway! Use Carvana! They stick to there word and you will get vehicle wayyy faster then you’ll ever get your vehicle using this company and by using carvana you won’t have to worry about out a thing. This place is a joke!
UPDATE: since owner reply someone calls me not even the owner. It’s a supervisor with transportation/delviery coordinator. They advise me that they advertise 5-8 day window but will have the vehicle delivered within the 14 to 21 days. Guys I’m at day 13. My vehicle has to travel 1200 plus miles which take 4 days and she couldn’t even tell me if or when they will have ETA but wanted to say if we go pass the 21 day mark they will help pay my insurance lol. Yeah, the one bill that cheapest not the $1,000 truck payment or anything else or my time they have wasted they wanted to help with the few hundred dollar insurance bill smh. I’ll say it again! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! They are a JOKE!!! Go to Carvana!

Hello Patrick,
We understand how discouraging this continued experience has been, especially with the extended timeframe and the lack of a clear delivery ETA at this stage. When timelines stretch beyond expectations, it can understandably impact both your schedule and overall confidence in the process.
While transport timelines can vary based on distance, routing, and carrier availability, we recognize that the clarity and consistency you were looking for weren’t met here. It’s also clear that the resolution offered didn’t align with what you felt was fair given the situation.
It’s regrettable that we haven’t been able to come to an amicable resolution so far. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and we’d like the opportunity to continue working toward a better outcome with you. Please reach out to us directly at (888) 378-3929 or [email protected] if you’re open to continuing the discussion.
I had a great experience selling my vehicle through Driveway. The process was easy, straightforward, and completed much quicker than I expected. Everyone I worked with was professional and helpful throughout the transaction.
A special thank you to Tyler, who went above and beyond to help resolve a few minor issues that came up toward the end of the sale. He was extremely responsive, communicated clearly, and followed up multiple times to make sure everything was taken care of and completed smoothly. His dedication to customer service made a big difference and helped ensure a positive experience from start to finish.
I would definitely recommend Driveway to anyone looking for a simple and hassle-free way to sell a vehicle.

Where do I start? I searched for a long time for the perfect vehicle and finally found it at Audi Van Nuys in California. I spoke with the dealership and everything went smooth as we discussed the vehicle and pricing. I then let them know I was purchasing the vehicle remotely. They then told me that for out of state purchases, I would work with Driveway through the rest of the process and thats where this process fell apart. It took two days for them to reach out to me just to verify my information and then told me they would reach out to make sure the vehicle would not be sold by the dealership while we finished the process (thats a huge red flag). Then it took three more days for finance to even call me back to go over the pricing and details of the sale.(which we already went over) but that was another three days wasted. Then I had to wait two more days for a final finance phone call from driveway that took 10 minutes but came 40 minutes later than the appointed time. She advised me that she was sending electronic paperwork to sign and that the longer I took to review and sign, I would just delay the process. The original sent paperwork had the wrong phone number attached so I couldnt access it or sign it. Eventually i recieved accurate paperwork. After 20 minutes I had it reviewed and signed and returned. She told me they would send more paperwork in the mail that needed wet signatures and I would also received wiring instructions(which they sent after i sent all the paperwork back to them so i couldnt use it ) for the down payment.
Paperwork arrived promptly over night and I had it signed, notarized, and back in the over night mail back to them within about 90 minutes. It then took 4 days for me to hear back from them, only after I called to find out what was taking so long. Thats when I received an email saying they had not received any financing from my bank and that it would delay the process if I didn't call and take care of it quickly. My loan had already processed so I was able to get ahold of Driveway to ask what was going on. After being put on hold for about 10 minutes, they miraculously found my financial institutions wire and everything was all good on my end. This ends the absolute nightmare of the sales and finance process( there's more if you really want to know)
Now on to the delivery, I was contacted the same day finance was done and he then let me know that it could be 3 to 5 days for a carrier to accept the delivering of my vehicle. Which seemed crazy to me but maybe it is normal for California. Anyhow, day 8 came along and I still hadn't even heard anything, so I reached out. I was then told that it averages closer to 10 days and they will be changing their policy but didn't feel like letting me know. Here we are on day 11 still waiting to hear back from Driveway to find out if my wife's Birthday present is ever going to be delivered. This is un beleivable. I will never recommend Driveway nor ever use them again. This is my 4th out of state purchase and it is the only one that has taken more than a few days. This has been the worst car purchase I have ever been a part of and I did car sales and finance management for years. The only reason I am giving a star at all is the hopefully when my wife's new car finally arrives, she absolutely loves it. But this process has been truly terrible.

Hello Ken,
We regret how frustrating this experience has been for you, especially after the time you spent finding the right vehicle for your wife and moving quickly on your end. Delays, miscommunication, and conflicting information at multiple steps can take the excitement out of a purchase, and we understand why this situation has felt unacceptable.
Your feedback is being taken seriously and shared with the teams involved so we can address the breakdowns you encountered across verification, financing, and delivery coordination. This is not the level of clarity or follow through we expect to provide.
We want to get this resolved as quickly as possible for you. A Customer Care agent will be reaching out to you soon to review your order status and work toward a clear path to delivery.
Easy process, answered my questions and prepared me for next steps
