Return Policy

Carvana has one of the more generous return policies among major retailers. Most items qualify for the standard return window, with extended benefits available depending on your membership or payment method.

Return WindowReturn ShippingCondition RequiredRefund MethodExceptions
All Buyers 7 days or 400 miles, whichever comes firstCarvana arranges free pickupNo additional damage beyond purchase conditionFull refund to original payment methodGap insurance and add-on products may have separate cancellation terms
The 7-day return window starts from the day you receive the vehicle. Mileage is tracked — driving more than 400 miles before returning forfeits the return guarantee.

Shipping & Delivery

Carvana offers multiple fulfillment options. Here's a breakdown of the shipping methods, costs, and delivery timeframes available.

Free Home Delivery

Most U.S. markets

Carvana delivers directly to your driveway at no charge in the majority of markets. Delivery timing varies by location, typically 1–14 days.

Vending Machine Pickup

Free

Pick up your vehicle at one of Carvana's coin-operated car vending machines for a unique self-serve experience at no extra cost.

Out-of-Market Delivery

Fee may apply

Buyers in markets without local inventory may incur a transport fee, displayed at checkout before purchase.

Loyalty Program

Carvana's loyalty program is free to join and provides personalized deals, exclusive perks, and additional savings opportunities. Combining the loyalty program with other discount types is one of the most effective ways to save.

Stacking Tips

Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at Carvana.

1

Pre-Approval + Tax Season Promo

Get pre-approved for Carvana financing (checks for special APR offers) + Shop during Feb–Apr tax season for down payment assistance promos + Use a cashback credit card for the down payment portion

Carvana's best stacks involve timing your purchase to coincide with financing promotions. Getting pre-approved first lets you compare their rate against outside lenders and pick the better deal.

2

Referral Credit + Great Value Listing

Receive a referral code from an existing Carvana customer + Filter inventory by 'Great Value' badge (priced below market) + Apply referral credit at checkout

Referral codes occasionally provide $100–$500 in credit. Combining that with a Great Value-tagged vehicle ensures you're already below market before any additional savings.
