Ridekick vs TrueCar

Get the price in writing.

Every way to buy a car makes you give something up. Here is the tradeoff with TrueCar, and how Ridekick avoids it.

The catch with TrueCar

TrueCar shows you what other people paid. But to get a price in writing, it gives dealers your phone and email, and dealers may call and text you.

With Ridekick

Ridekick gets you the out-the-door price in writing, and dealers get your phone and email when you choose to share them to pick a time to visit or lock in an offer. Free.
