Blue Light Cars is a car buying service that negotiates discounts on new cars for NHS staff and blue light workers. The service works with a wide range of manufacturers and handles the process of contacting local dealers on the buyer’s behalf to find the best available price.
Does Blue Light Cars offer an NHS discount?
Blue Light Cars offers discounts on new cars specifically for NHS staff and emergency services workers. The saving varies depending on the manufacturer and model chosen, so it is worth getting a quote on the specific vehicle in question rather than assuming a fixed percentage off.
How Blue Light Cars works
The Blue Light Cars website lists the manufacturers covered by the scheme. A contact form takes the buyer’s details and vehicle preference, after which Blue Light Cars contacts local dealers of the chosen manufacturer and returns with the discounted prices available. Once a price is agreed, the team coordinates the purchase alongside collection or delivery of the new car.
What manufacturers does Blue Light Cars work with?
Blue Light Cars covers a broad range of manufacturers including Mazda, Renault, Honda, Ford, SEAT, Volkswagen, Skoda, Audi, Nissan, Volvo, Suzuki, Peugeot, Citroen, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jeep and Subaru. A full and up-to-date list is available on their website.
How Blue Light Cars compares to other NHS car buying schemes
Blue Light Cars, Motorfinity and Motor Source Group all operate on a similar basis, acting as intermediaries between NHS staff and manufacturers to secure below-retail pricing. The main differences come down to which manufacturers each service has agreements with and the specific savings available on a given model. Getting a quote from more than one service where a chosen car appears across multiple schemes can produce a meaningfully different price.
All three schemes are listed on the buying a car discounts page.
