Amanda's journey 🚗
Amanda came to Hippo with a tinge of sadness. For years, she’d wanted to get behind the wheel of the car of her dreams but was never in a position to do so.
She’d settled for what was practical, or what was within her price range in the past. And Amanda was certain she’d have to do it again. But that’s not how it played out.
I found the car I’d always wanted, and it was within my budget. I couldn’tbelieve it. I’ve searched everywhere for this car, and I finally managed to find it at Hippo. Safe to say, I was over the moon.- Amanda Kilner

Read about Amanda's car leasing experience
Hi Amanda! Thanks for speaking to us. When you contacted Hippo, did you know which vehicle you were interested in?
I did. I knew which car I was looking for even though it wasn’t the car I really wanted. It was just the right one for my circumstances at the time.
How easy did you find the enquiry process?
The enquiry process was very easy. Once I contacted Hippo and answered a few questions, I was sent my personalised link to their online Vehicle Portal. On there, I could search through deals that suited my financial circumstance, including cars I hadn’t noticed on the website. The number of vehicles was incredible, and that’s when it happened.
I found the car I’d always wanted, and it was within my budget. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve searched everywhere for this car, and I finally managed to find it at Hippo. Safe to say, I was over the moon.
So you didn’t end up leasing the car your originally wanted?
No, the car I initially saw at Hippo I didn’t get in the end. I got a better one and I love it. And it was really easy to lease, too.
Because I’d spoken to the team beforehand, all it took was a few clicks and it was mine. I couldn’t believe how fast and simple it all was.
I managed to speak to my Account Manager, find my car and order it online all within a couple of hours, and I didn’t even have to leave my house.
How did you find the handover process?
The handover was very straight forward. I was given a handover slot that was reserved just for me a few days before, and when I arrived, my Handover Specialist was waiting for me.
She showed me to my new car and gave me the chance to check everything over.
She answered all my questions, then, once I was happy, handed me the keys and off I went. Not before having a lovely cup of hot chocolate in the showroom, though.
Yes, we love the hot chocolate, too! So, would you recommend leasing a car with Hippo to others?
Yes! I would definitely recommend Hippo to others. In fact, the week after I collected mine, I told a friend about Hippo and how impressive, easy and safe it was to lease a car online. A few days later, he told me he’d done the exact same.
We’re now both looking forward to going back in a few years for our next ones!
