Try Before You Buy with Drivalia
Thinking about buying a used car but want to be sure it’s the right fit? With Drivalia Rent to Buy, you can take your chosen vehicle home for up to 14 days before making any commitment. Drive it to work, or take it on a family outing. It’s the smart way to buy your next car.
How Drivalia Rent to Buy Works
Step 1: Choose Your Vehicle
Browse our selection of quality ex-rental vehicles and select the car that catches your eye. Book it through our Rent to Buy programme at one of our pilot locations.
Step 2: Take It Home for Up to 14 Days
Collect your chosen vehicle and use it as you would your own car. This extended test drive gives you time to see how it fits into your daily life, without any pressure to make a quick decision.
Step 3: Decide What’s Right for You
Love the car? Simply contact our team to complete the purchase. We’ll waive the rental fees and handle all the paperwork, sending everything directly to your home address.
Changed your mind? No problem. Just return the vehicle to the collection location and pay only the standard rental charges. There’s no obligation to buy.
