How It Works

Hippo portal

Once you’ve been approved either by speaking to one of our account managers or through our Apply Now feature, you’ll receive a unique link to the Hippo portal. If you’ve already been approved but are to receive a link, contact your account manager.
On the rare occasion your portal link doesn’t work, speak to your account manager, who’ll be able to generate a new one for you.
In the unlikely event of there being no cars available in your portal, speak to your account manager, who’ll be able to rectify the situation for you.
If you’ve seen a vehicle on our website but can’t find it in the portal, speak to your account manager, and they’ll be able to explain why or get any problem fixed for you.
When you secure a vehicle through the Hippo portal, it remains held for you until you choose to change that. We don't wish to pressure you into a decision; therefore, we give you unlimited time to ensure the vehicle is the perfect fit for your needs. Should we fail to reach you to complete your purchase,however, we'll send you an email notifying that your reservation will be canceled.
If you’ve forgotten your password, you can request a password reset from your account manager.
If you can’t find a vehicle you want in your portal, speak to your account manager; we can source almost any vehicle.
If you see another vehicle you prefer, you can transfer your original deposit and reservation fee over to that car.
