Ridekick is a car-shopping service that helps buyers find the real out-the-door price from dealers while keeping their contact information private. Users can search new and used cars, browse listings by vehicle type or make, or check a specific car by VIN. Ridekick contacts the dealer on the buyer’s behalf, challenges markups and hidden fees, applies available rebates, and provides the dealer’s price in writing. Buyers can review the offer and decide whether to proceed, with no obligation to purchase.

The service is free to use, and dealers do not receive a buyer’s phone number or personal email. Most price checks are returned within 24 hours, and users can follow dealer messages in real time. Ridekick also offers car-price information, including fair-price data by trim and state, dealer fees by state, price reductions, and buying guides. The company says it is not a dealer, broker, or lender and does not sell vehicles; final prices are set by the selling dealer, and estimates are informational rather than guaranteed.
