Why buyers switch from HPI to CarVerify

Price only matters if the report still shows the records that protect your money. Here's what to weigh up.

The same essential checks

Finance, write-off, stolen and mileage — the records that matter most, exactly as the big names show them.

A fraction of the price

The full check for £4.99 per check, not a premium brand price.

Independent

An independent service sourcing its own data — not affiliated with HPI.

£30k data guarantee

Every report is backed if the data is wrong. You don't give that up by paying less.

Why look for an HPI alternative?

Most people searching for an HPI alternative want the same peace of mind for less — the finance, write-off, stolen and mileage checks that protect a purchase, without the premium the best-known brand charges.

You don't need the incumbent's name on the report for the data to be sound. CarVerify runs the same essential checks from the same kind of industry sources, in a clear report, for £4.99 per check.

CarVerify vs HPI: what's the same, what's different

The core checks are the same. What changes is the price — plus a couple of extras CarVerify includes that a standard check does not.

Both cover:

Independent, and not affiliated with HPI

HPI and HPI Check are trademarks of HPI Limited, which maintains its own vehicle data register. CarVerify is an independent service, is not affiliated with or endorsed by HPI Limited, and sources its data separately.

Switching takes one registration

There's nothing to migrate. Enter a reg, unlock the report, and you're done — no account needed, and you keep every report you run.

  1. Enter the registration above.
  2. Unlock the full report for £4.99.
  3. Check finance, write-off, stolen and mileage before you buy.
  4. Match the VIN on the car to the V5C and the report.

Is a cheaper alternative reliable?

Yes. CarVerify's records come from established official and commercial sources, and every report carries the £30,000 data guarantee — you save on price, not on the checks.
