Armed forces and public sector workers benefit from £500 heycar offer

Armed forces and public sector workers will benefit from a £500 contribution to their next used car as part of a limited-time offer from heycar.

The online used car marketplace is offering the sum as a finance contribution to qualifying car buyers in celebration of new partnerships with Motor Source Group and Forces Cars Direct.

They will also be able to benefit from heycar’s free delivery service as part of the offer.

Chris Wood, commercial director at heycar, said: “Evolving to meet customer needs is at the heart of what we do. Britain’s public sector personnel and Emergency Services Workers go above and beyond on a daily basis and we want to put the ‘feel-good’ into their car purchasing experience.

“This deal provides an exclusive used car platform for them to browse and offers more quality used vehicles to choose from. Under eight years old and with less than 100,000 miles on the clock, this partnership means our everyday heroes can buy with added confidence.”

Motor Source Group offers a unique discounted new car programme for emergency services personnel, including police, prison employees, fire service, NHS staff, teachers, and past and present armed forces personnel.

According to heycar, customers currently save £4,900 each on average and have saved over £166 million in total since 2010.

Steve Thornton, the founder and chief executive of Forces Cars Direct and Motor Source Group, said: “We’re constantly looking for new ways to recognise and reward our customer groups and this exciting partnership is one which we feel has fantastic benefits for our customers.

“As we head into next year, this is just one of the initiatives that we’re eager to pass on benefits from, alongside our ongoing community support and contributions to our public sector personnel and Emergency Services Workers.”
