I wish there was a minus stars
I wish there was a minus stars.
Hippo have provided the most appalling customer service. I bought a £26,000 car from them on 3 Dec 2025 one owner and full dealer service history.
When the V5 came back I was the 4th owner.
They blamed auto trader and said auto trader automatically put one when they are unsure of the number of keepers BS
I have emailed every single person within Hippo most of which don't acknowledge or reply.
It then lost all the oil on my way back from Manchester airport at 10.30pm on my own, when I washed it the black powder coating on the wheels began to peel. The car had respray lines down the passenger side and a misaligned headlight. When I checked Carverticle it had been involved in a non-recorded accident in 2019 totally £3k - £5k they denied all knowledge( I raised this in February) surely they look at history for cars they intend to resell.
I returned to Hippo in March who said it was up to me to activate my extended warranty as they don't have any mechanics themselves to repair vehicles. Fawaad the Sales Manger has fobbed me off from the very first day I raised my complaint.
The oil repair took 6 weeks even though they said they had the parts after 2 weeks and the wheels still haven't been done. They offered no compensation, or redress at all, I said I wished to reject before my 30 days and they refused and said I had to allow them to repair the car.
Aftersales is none existent, they have lied about the vehicle from the very beginning, I have tried to escalate it to the Chairman CEO etc and nobody replies. The car has gone back in today to have the wheels refurbished which has took them 2 months to arrange, they said they said they would use a 3rd party, then said they wouldn't, said they would arrange a hire car but I would have to get a taxi the couple of miles round the corner to collect it - (thankfully enterprise are far more customer friendly and collected me) when I dropped the car off and told him all 4 wheels need doing he then said it needs to go to a 3rd Party!!!! We have spent a month arguing over 3rd parties to be right back at base.
I would never buy another vehicle from Hippo and advise anyone who maybe thinking of buying from them to think long and hard. The company sell anything and everything and genuinely don't care about you regardless of the original purchase price.
Please do point out which areas you don't agree with. I have no need to lie all I have stated is true and correct so please don't insinuate otherwise.

Don’t waste your money with this company
I purchased a car had multiple problems, gave an honest review and got a reply to contact them so they could look into it (even though I’d complained and nothing was done). I emailed as the response said in April, and had nothing. I followed up in May with another email and still no response. Worst service from a car dealership I’ve ever experienced! Don’t waste your money.
