Big U.K. Car Retailer Launches Free Home Delivery
Careful of the buttons you press when fantasy sports car-shopping online because if you’re in the U.K., it could show up at your door.
Motorpoint has launched a free home delivery service with immediate effect. The U.K.’s largest independent car retailer, which has a network of 13 branches across England, Scotland, and Wales, is offering the facility to all customers unable to visit in person in light of current global events. All Motorpoint branches are open and continue to trade as normal.
Now in effect, the service is available seven days a week and free to customers within a 100-mile radius of their nearest Motorpoint branch. Customers over 100 miles would incur a charge. Furthermore, staff delivering vehicles will observe recommended social-distancing measures at all times during the handover of the vehicle.
Motorpoint, which was recently awarded Platinum status by Feefo for its outstanding customer service, currently has over 6,000 low mileage, nearly new cars and light commercial vehicles available from over 30 different manufacturers. Every vehicle comes with the balance of manufacturer’s warranty backed by the Motorpoint Price Promise.
“These are challenging times and to help minimize the disruption to our customers’ lives Motorpoint is rolling out a home delivery service with immediate effect to those people who aren’t in a position to physically collect their vehicle from our branch network,” said Mark Carpenter, Chief Executive Officer of Motorpoint.
“You can already search, find and reserve any one of our 6,000 plus cars from your home via our website. Now, you also have the option for your car to be delivered to your door on a date and at a time that suits you courtesy of Motorpoint.”
Motorpoint has always followed the most stringent cleaning procedures when it comes to the preparation of its vehicles. This has been further enhanced to ensure all vehicles are fully sanitized before they go out for a test drive, and protective covers fitted as standard to the steering wheel, door handles, and gear sticks prior to collection by a customer.
