The Bumper Difference
At Bumper, we are on a mission to bring vehicle history reports and ownership up to speed with modern times. A vehicle is one of the most expensive purchases you'll likely make, and you deserve to have access to the same tools and information the pros use to make the right decisions.
FAIR PRICING—If you’ve ever purchased a vehicle history report, you might have experienced sticker shock. According to J.D. Power, car buyers spend a minimum of three months researching vehicles before a purchase. At an average of $30 a report, you could spend upwards of hundreds of dollars simply researching. With Bumper, we offer reports at an affordable rate. With those extra savings, why not put it towards a down payment or even upgrades?
ACCURATE DATA: Our vehicle records come from government agencies, insurance providers, car industry sources and more. From accidents and salvage records to vehicle specifications and market value, if a record exists, we'll do our best to find it so you have reliable, up-to-date information.
AHEAD OF THE CURVE: Until now, running a vehicle history report was not easy. Introducing: Bumper. Go ahead, set up alerts, and be the first to know when something changes with a vehicle you're monitoring. Or check vehicle reports on mobile or desktop - it's the same great intuitive experience.
