Carvana Offers Free Next-Day Delivery to Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing its Southeast expansion, Carvana (www.carvana.com), the first complete online auto retailer, announces free next-day delivery to Birmingham customers. This expansion marks the company's fourth service market, reaching more than 2.2 million consumers with its free next-day delivery option across Atlanta, Nashville, Charlotte and now Birmingham.

"In the last year, we have seen strong consumer interest and steady month-over-month sales growth from the Birmingham market," says Ernie Garcia, founder and president of Carvana. "Given its proximity to our Atlanta operations, its tech-savvy population and the web traffic we've seen from Birmingham, it was a natural fit to be our next service market."

To show its appreciation to area customers who purchased a vehicle prior to its Birmingham expansion, Carvana is offering a full refund of the delivery fee paid with their purchase. "Purchasing a car is a big decision, and we are so appreciative of our customers who trusted us and our online dealership model. Refunding their delivery fee is our way to thank them for their support, and leading us into the Birmingham market," states Garcia.

Carvana's secure, intuitive online shopping platform gives car buyers an alternative to their local dealership by allowing individuals to browse an inventory of Carvana Certified pre-owned vehicles, purchase using personalized financing terms, and coordinate delivery method and timing best suited to their needs.  In addition to home delivery, all Carvana customers can elect to pick up their vehicle at the company's car vending machine in Atlanta. All Carvana cars come fully covered with a 100-day or 4,189 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and are backed by a 7-day "test own" return policy.

According to Capgemini, the number one reason to buy a car online is for a better price (45 percent); the second is for an easier and faster transaction (23 percent). Traditional car dealerships have high overhead costs that are passed onto the consumer during the car buying process. Carvana eliminates these costs by replacing the dealership with technology, subsequently offering consumers an average savings of $1,681 compared to Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Price. It also saves buyers the four and a half hours spent at the dealership when purchasing a car, allowing them to shop, finance and schedule the delivery in as little as 10 to 30 minutes.
