It’s leasing, but not as you know

The UK’s very first specialist car leasing centre will open in Blackburn on Saturday.

Known for pushing the boundaries, Hippo Motor Group have launched a unique centre in order to provide the same service for leasing customers as that enjoyed by traditional car buyers.

The forecourt at the company’s Trident Park headquarters is now filled with some 700 lease cars available to drive away there and then come the weekend.

Tom Preston said: “This really is a first for the industry. For so long now, we, like many others have been receiving and dealing with thousands of online enquiries.

“This traditional model can often come with a lead time of 4-8 weeks depending on the specification of the vehicles wanted.

“Now, we are offering customers a more ‘touchy feely’ experience, where those interested in leasing can gain advice from our team of specialists, familiarise themselves with the car’s features and even take it for a test drive, just like you would when buying from a dealership.

“If they see the car they want, they have the opportunity to take it away on the day. It’s all about creating a better customer experience.”

Customers who don’t see anything that takes their fancy, can still browse and enquire about the thousands of vehicles available from Hippo online as before, and discuss these options in person, with one of the specialists.

Every car deal signed at the weekend will be eligible for £100 cashback as well as being entered in a draw for a chance to win our grand prize of £1000. Tom added: “The forecourt is ready, and the cars are parked, and our job now is to invite local people through the door to touch and feel, and test drive their perfect car, whilst being advised of the very best finance option for their circumstances.”
