Tampa has known about the new way to buy a car since 2016, when Carvana
launched in the area, offering free, as-soon-as-next-day vehicle
delivery. Instead of spending hours walking through dealership lots,
dealing with a salesperson, customers who visit Carvana.com
can shop 10,000 vehicles from home or on the go via their mobile device,
finance, purchase and schedule as-soon-as-next-day delivery or Car
Vending Machine pickup in as little as 10 minutes.
Just like dropping quarters into a vending machine to get a bag of
chips, customers who choose Car Vending Machine pickup will receive a
commemorative, oversized Carvana coin on-site to activate the vending
process and transport the car into the delivery bay. Every Carvana
customer has seven days to test-own the vehicle, giving them the chance
to see if the vehicle really fits their life. If they aren’t satisfied,
they can return the vehicle for a full refund. Additionally, all
vehicles in Carvana’s inventory are Carvana Certified, have passed a
rigorous 150-point inspection, have never been in a reported accident,
nor have frame damage. Features, imperfections and updated information
about open safety recalls are listed on the car's vehicle description
page.
“Just two years ago, we launched the new way to buy a car in Tampa, with
free, as-soon-as-next-day vehicle delivery,” said Ernie Garcia, founder
and CEO of Carvana. “In that short time, our company and our employees
have received a warm welcome from the community, so we’re excited to
debut our newest Car Vending Machine in Tampa.”
Located at 10335 Palm River Road, the Tampa Car Vending Machine is open
Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. Vehicle pickup at any
of Carvana’s Car Vending Machines is free for all Carvana customers. For
customers that live outside of the Tampa metropolitan delivery area but
would still like to pick up their car at the Vending Machine, Carvana
will subsidize $200 in airfare and arrange transportation from the Tampa
International Airport.
