Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 3,381 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Consumers consistently appreciate the helpful customer support team, friendly staff, and quick responses when sorting out various account or technical issues. Many everyday people find the detailed vehicle history reports exceptionally useful for checking previous damage and successfully negotiating better car purchase prices. However, some customers also noted that the pricing structure is quite expensive and costly when compared to alternative checking options available online. Others mentioned receiving limited information, experiencing noticeable errors in vehicle specifications, or struggling with reports that completely lacked background data for recently imported cars.

I used carVertical to check the history of a used car I was planning to buy, and the report was very thorough. It is a bit on the pricey side, but the level of detail — mileage checks, damage history,... See more

Expire Fast

Purchased multi checks but they had to be used quite quickly. Purchased reports also expire!

Terrible service

The first time I used them they had no information on my import vehicle even though its been in the country 10 years. I tried again with a UK car and a cat S accident was missed off the report so I was lucky I had decided to get a HPI also. When I complained about this I was refused a refund. Crap service

The report identified some rear end damage that I was not otherwise aware of. That being said, it didn't have any details so it wasn't overly useful.

CarVerticl will not verify or provide the source from which reasonably questionable information regarding possible accident damage in their report comes from.

They incorrectly sight Lithuanian GDPR for not providing reasonably requested verification when asked for it. Which does not cross reference with their own T&C’s and is contradictory.

makes buying a car safer

Very good service. Showed me that a car i was considering buying had been assessed for £6500 damage on the front corner, but as it wasn't categorised id have never know. And tbf the seller didnt know either. Always use it if you're buying a car, its worth every penny

Shout out Ava!

Ava from customer support was excellent. There was a discrepancy on a report I ran which was clearly incorrect. Ava wasted no time in investigating and getting me an updated report back. Appreciated your help. Great service.

Car Report.

Easy to obtain the report I wanted. The report was very detailed and flagged up an accident I was not informed about by the seller. I had hoped there would be pictures of the car before and after the accident repair. No pictures on the report and an estimate of the cost of the repairs was given. They estimated where on the car the repairs were.All in all a good report. Could give more details in some areas. I would use car Vertical again.
