5 Easy Tips to Secure Your Military Discount
How Your Military Status Can Help You Save with MotorVero
We at MotorVero deeply appreciate the service and sacrifices made by the United States Armed Forces. Whether you are active-duty, reserve, retired, a veteran, or a military family member, there are numerous ways to save on your next vehicle purchase. Here’s how to find, understand, and make the most of these opportunities.
Confirm Your Eligibility
Many automakers partnered with MotorVero offer exclusive discounts to military personnel. These groups often include:
- Active Military: Full-time service members who can be deployed at any time.
- Reservists: Part-time service members available for active duty as needed.
- Retired Military: Veterans who served at least 20 years or retired due to physical disabilities.
- Veterans: Individuals honorably discharged from any branch of the military.
- Military Dependents: Spouses, minor children, or other dependents like stepchildren or parents.
Each automaker’s program has unique eligibility requirements. For example, Toyota offers a $500 rebate to active military, reserves, veterans, and family members. To confirm your eligibility, visit MotorVero’s military incentives page or contact the automaker directly.
Bring Your Documentation
To access military discounts, you’ll need proper documentation. This may include:
- Military ID: Issued to active, reserve, or retired members. Replacement IDs can be obtained from a base personnel office.
- Discharge Papers (DD 214): For veterans, this document is crucial. Replacements can be obtained from the National Archives for free.
- Leave & Earnings Statement (LES): Monthly statements documenting pay and leave for active members.
- Online Verification: Platforms like ID.me authenticate military credentials online.
- Veterans ID Card: Available through VA.gov or AccessVA.
Get an Overseas Discount
Service members stationed overseas can access exclusive discounts through military car sales programs. Benefits include:
- Fixed-Rate Pricing: Avoid exchange rate fluctuations.
- On-Base Purchases: Programs like Exchange New Car Sales specialize in American brands with discounts.
- Tax-Free Purchases: Most purchases made overseas are tax-free but may incur taxes upon return to the U.S.
Vehicles can be shipped to the U.S. or picked up at your duty station abroad. Check with your dealership for specific shipping and tax details.
Snag a Holiday Discount
Military discounts often become more generous around major holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Independence Day. Automakers like Hyundai and GM have previously doubled their discounts during these periods. Stay updated by checking MotorVero’s holiday promotions or automakers’ websites for the latest deals.
Consider Your Additional Eligibility
Beyond military discounts, many automakers extend special offers to first responders, including:
- Police officers and federal law enforcement.
- Firefighters and volunteer firefighters.
- Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics.
- Emergency dispatch personnel.
These discounts often apply to spouses and can be combined with other offers. For instance, GM provides up to $5,000 off select models for first responders. Check with MotorVero to see if you qualify for additional incentives.
