Bumper vs. CARFAX | CARFAX Competitors

Bumper vs CARFAX: Which one is right for you?

There's no denying that CARFAX changed the game when their website launched in 1996. For the first time ever, consumers all over the US were able to purchase insightful vehicle history information online.

But times (and prices) change, and a traditional CARFAX report may no longer be the best option for many consumers—especially when much of the same information in a CARFAX vehicle history report can be found elsewhere for less money. Have a look at what Bumper offers compared to CARFAX and other competitors.

What is the most accurate vehicle history report?

It's hard to definitively say one service is the most accurate. However, NMVTIS is the only provider approved by the federal government to relay vehicle history reports, and by law, the information must be complete and accurate. Bumper is an approved NMVTIS data provider for public customers; most of our competitors are not.

Is there a free alternative to CARFAX?

Not exactly. The National Insurance Crime Bureau offers a free service that will tell you if a vehicle has been reported stolen or salvaged, but that's far from a full vehicle history report. Some sites even claim to provide reports for free, but all they really offer is the same NICB information, just dressed up with some stock specs to make the report appear more robust.

While no full vehicle history report is free, whether you have a vehicle’s VIN or license plate, a Bumper subscription offers the lowest cost per report compared to CARFAX and other competitors.
