The UK's largest independent car retailer, which has a network of branches across England, Scotland and Wales, rolled out the complimentary service in March 2020 in response to demand from customers.
Over the last 12 months dedicated teams from across Motorpoint have been busy taking to the roads to deliver thousands of cars and light commercial vehicles free of charge to customers up and down the country, travelling the equivalent of almost four times round the world (or 97,000 miles) during this time. This has included driving as far north as Wick near John O'Groats right down to Helston close to Lands End in Cornwall.
And, since the start of the current lockdown, Motorpoint has been delivering a vehicle direct to a customer's driveaway at the rate of one every six minutes*.
Amongst those to take advantage of free home delivery during the latest lockdown is Stuart Smith, who lives in Redcar, a short drive from the company's newest branch in Stockton-on-Tees and was looking to celebrate his wedding anniversary in style with a new car.
"I couldn't believe how easy it was a car to buy a car and have it delivered to my door," explained a delighted Stuart. "I've been thinking of changing car for a while now but with all the lockdowns didn't think it would be possible. When I heard Motorpoint, we're offering free home delivery I jumped at the opportunity, chose the car I needed and arranged for it to be brought to me at home in time for our wedding anniversary.
"The whole process couldn't have been simpler, and safer, which is really important at the moment, with everyone being urged to avoid any unnecessary journeys wherever possible. We absolutely love the new car, and we can't wait for the lockdown to be over so we can get a chance to take it out for a proper spin – not just to the shops."
Richard Start, general manager of Motorpoint Birtley and Stockton-on-Tees, added: "Our free home delivery service has gone from strength to strength since it went live last year. Not only do customers like Stuart enjoy the convenience of choosing the time when they want their car delivered to their door during the week but thanks to our 14-day money back guarantee they can do so with complete confidence."
Motorpoint currently stocks over 6,000 low mileage, nearly news cars and light commercial vehicles from 30 different manufacturers across its group, all of which have less than 30,000 miles.
Every vehicle is checked by experts from Motorpoint and comes with the balance of manufacturer's warranty (or six-month Motorpoint warranty) backed by the Motorpoint Price Promise. This means Motorpoint will refund the difference to any customer within seven days of their order if they find the same car cheaper from a competitor. As an added bonus, Motorpoint will also give the customer £50 worth of Amazon vouchers to spend.
