RV review
February 11, 2025

Save your $5. I thought I was getting JD Powers report and got routed to Bumper. The report was worthless. Did not provide a value for the RV and did not have any of the specifications. Worthless Worthless

After 1 week they automatically charged 24,99$ from my account without notification and confirmation!

Used trial - ran report on our classic to obtain the history. - inadequate results and not as expected.
Cancelled immediately, after paying the initial $5 trial fee.

An e-mail was sent to "support" to cancel and they did respond to verify my request. Will monitor account to make sure there are no future charges.

Don't waste your money.

But if you do buy, it is $31.99 for a single report unless you want to give them your CC info and try to cancel later. Many people tried to cancel their $1 deal and got hit with a $24.99 charge they cant get back. The reviews on this website are dismal if you look at the various review sites. I'm so glad I didn't actually give them my CC info before looking at the reviews. But you wont get anywhere until you give your info. You cant even find out how much it is until you provide all the info. Buyer beware.

Good service

I don't usually come online and write reviews. However, I was satisfied with the reports I was provided by bumper. The 7 day trial membership for $1is a good option for low-income people like me. Just remember to cancel the subscription on time.

I am not sure how there are any good reviews for this company, they must be fake. They get your credit card information and continuously charge bogus charges. I had to close my account and get a new card issued after charge number five that they would not address.

I wanted a report of my car before selling it. Not only did they get the mileage off by 100,000 miles, they missed the 2 accidents I had and reported no accidents. Totally untrustworthy! Thank goodness I only wasted $1 on the trial.

Unless outdated incorrect information
March 7, 2024

I tried the 7-day trial and searched for information on two of my three cars. The information was outdated by years and incorrect in many instances so I canceled my membership and didn't bother searching for information about my other car. Their service is completely useless.

Better than carfax

Carfax is over priced and gets the same results. With Bumper, you have 50 searches and they also have a free trial, which carfax does not. Everything was easy to find and customer service responds fast.

SCAMMED - They don't provide what they sell.
October 5, 2023

I subscribed while I was car shopping to make sure the cars I was looking at were OK to buy should I want to. I found something I liked, ran the VIN report via Bumper and all came back all clean. The next day I ended up buying the car. When I went to have it registered, I noticed it was a branded title and then I paid for a CarFax report only to see it was in 3 accidents and had a salvage branded title. This company COMPLETELY SCAMMED ME and cost me THOUSANDS of dollars. I'm seeking legal counsel for myself AND so they can't scam anyone else again.

Loosing money

They charge you for nothing, after you buy trial. Never reply to the e mails or chats. No service at all.

Hi there Remigijus,
Thank you for reaching out.

We are so saddened to hear this.
The account was created on 04/22/2024 with our $5.00 7-day trial.

Upon further review, it appears we did not receive a request to cancel prior to the end of the trial.
In that event, your account was automatically renewed to the monthly subscription.

When signing up for our background reports, the subscription does outline that it will auto-renew until elected to cancel.
You can contact us to cancel at any time, and will not be billed for your next billing cycle.

Please be assured that your account was canceled and you were issued a refund.
The refund was processed immediately on our end, however, please note that it may take up to 10 days for the refund to reflect on your bank statement depending on your financial institution.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
