Frequently Asked Questions

We've removed the unnecessary steps in the process, creating the smartest, simplest way to purchase your next vehicle. Ruby-Car.com saves you time and provides you everything you need to discover the perfect used car.
What kind of vehicles do you sell?
We sell accident-free, pre-owned, low-mile vehicles that have been meticulously maintained, inspected and upcycled by Avis technicians.
What if I want to return my car?
You have 7 days or 300 miles (whichever comes first) to ensure your RubyCar is right for you. If it isn't, we can help you exchange it for another vehicle of your liking or provide a refund of the purchase price.
What does "personalized payments" mean?
When you first visit Ruby-Car.com, the posted rates and monthly payments for each vehicle are averages, not based on your individual credit score and down payment. These estimates are designed to provide you an estimate of your monthly payment. Your actual monthly payments can vary based on your personal credit. Personalized payments provide estimates of your monthly payments, enabling you to see financing details for most vehicles, including:
• Down payment
• Rates
• Terms
• Local taxes and fees
Like pre-qualification, getting your personalized payments does not affect your credit. Unlocking your personalized payments is quick and easy. It takes just a few moments to provide some basic information. Personalized payments are estimates based on limited information you provide. It does not constitute an offer or commitment to provide credit or financing. Eligibility for credit and actual payments are based on the results of your credit application.
