Emma moved to Melbourne from Brisbane

My husband was offered an amazing promotion he simply couldn’t turn down. Because my husband was busy preparing for his new role, managing the relocation was my job. His employer helped with the cost of moving, but it was on me to find schools, schools, where to live, find a home, the dog and so much more. Luckily Keith and the team from Her Drive looked after me and I had the keys to my new Hyundai Santa Fe in the ignition the day after we arrived. With so may errands to run on arrival, it was a godsend. The team made it easy for me to be mobile as soon as possible and handled the process of getting the car sorted. Thank you!

The whole experience was enjoyable and it completely took the stress out of buying a car. They had extensive knowledge around which car would best suit my lifestyle and budget and when it came to negotiating, I bought the car for a great price. I would highly recommend this service and their team.

FAQ

Here’s the answers to commonly asked questions about our car buying service

What do you charge? Our car buying service fees start from $880. This is a flat fee we charge for our time in interviewing you, preparing recommendation and leasing with dealers on your behalf.

How do you make money? We make money from our service charge as well as a referral fee from dealers. The referral fee we earn does not impact the price you pay for your car. If we help organise your finance or a trade-in we also receive very small referral fees.

Do you help people moving from interstate or overseas? Yes to both. We help you purchase your car in Melbourne, no matter where you are coming from.

I want my car the day I arrive in Melbourne. How much advance notice do you need? When you buy a new car, dealers take time to prepare your new car once you’ve signed on the dotted line. So we suggest a minimum of 4 weeks’ notice before you arrive in Melbourne to get the deal done in time for your arrival.
