Most serving and veteran personnel do not know this exists. Forces Cars Direct has negotiated full access to Big Motoring World, one of the UK's largest used car retailers, across ten locations in England. You get the same choice of stock as any other buyer. Every purchase comes with a 90-day warranty, a 200-point inspection covering the full mechanical and electrical history of the vehicle, and a free Tracker stolen vehicle recovery device. Forces Cars Direct arranges all of it.

What Every Armed Forces Buyer Gets

Forces Cars Direct has built this programme around one principle: every Armed Forces buyer should know exactly what they are getting before they commit. The items below are not upgrades or optional extras. They are what every buyer through this programme receives as standard.





Free Tracker Device The UK's leading stolen vehicle recovery system, fitted at handover for every eligible Armed Forces buyer. Active from the moment you drive away. Only with approved eligibility voucher — request yours here.

90
90-Day Warranty Covers key mechanical and electrical components for 90 days as standard. Included in the purchase price. No extra cost and no optional upgrade required.






200-Point Inspection Every vehicle inspected across 200 mechanical, electrical, safety, and bodywork checks before listing. The report is available to you before you buy. You are not purchasing a car with an unknown history.

Price Match Plus £100 Find the same car cheaper elsewhere? Forces Cars Direct has secured a price guarantee: Big Motoring World beats the price and adds £100 on top. Terms apply.

Why the Tracker Device Is Worth Having

Vehicle theft in the UK is rising. Conventional GPS trackers are frequently defeated by signal jammers before a recovery team can respond. Tracker uses a different technology altogether.

Their VHF signal cannot be blocked by jammers, which is why they have recovered more than £590 million worth of stolen vehicles over the past 30 years. Every eligible Armed Forces buyer through this programme receives a Tracker device at no cost, professionally fitted during handover and active from the moment you drive away.





VHF Technology Jammers Cannot Block
Standard GPS signals are easy to disrupt. Tracker's VHF frequency cannot be reached by jamming devices, keeping your vehicle locatable when it matters most.
Formal Agreement With Every UK Police Force
Tracker holds a unique agreement with every UK police force. Officers actively respond to Tracker recovery requests — their recovery rate is higher than any comparable system.
24/7
24/7 Monitoring as Standard
Tracker's secure operating centre runs around the clock. If your vehicle is stolen, the response begins immediately. You do not need to chase anyone or wait for office hours.

Used Cars FAQ for Armed Forces Personnel

Common questions from serving and veteran personnel about the Big Motoring World partnership.

Am I eligible as serving or veteran Armed Forces?

Yes. The offer is open to all serving personnel and veterans across the Army, Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Air Force, and Reserve Forces, regardless of rank or length of service. You will need to provide proof of your service to receive your voucher — a MOD 90 card, DDs card, veteran ID, Reserve Forces ID, or discharge papers are all accepted.

Is this a genuine Forces benefit or just a small discount?

Forces Cars Direct has a formal arrangement with Big Motoring World, one of the UK's largest used car retailers with ten stores across England. Every car Big Motoring World sells is available to you through this programme, with the same 90-day warranty, 200-point inspection, and price guarantee that applies to all their customers, plus a free Tracker device secured exclusively for Armed Forces buyers through Forces Cars Direct.

What proof of service do I need?

Accepted documents include a MOD 90 card, DDs card (Defence Discount Service), a veteran ID card issued through Veterans UK, Reserve Forces ID, or official discharge papers. If you are unsure which document applies to your situation, contact the team at [email protected] before submitting your form.

Are all makes and models available or is the range limited?

There is no restriction on make, model, or price point. Big Motoring World carries thousands of vehicles across their ten stores, covering hatchbacks, SUVs, saloons, estates, and electric cars from all major manufacturers. Your Forces Cars Direct eligibility gives you full access to that range.

How do I know the vehicle history is clean?

Every car goes through a 200-point inspection before it is listed for sale, covering mechanical condition, electrical systems, bodywork integrity, and safety-critical components. The inspection report is available to you before you commit. Standard HPI checks are also carried out on every vehicle. You are not buying a car with an undisclosed history.

What exactly is included in the purchase?

Every purchase includes a 90-day warranty on mechanical and electrical components, a completed 200-point inspection, and a free Tracker stolen vehicle recovery device fitted at handover. The price guarantee also applies: if you find the same car cheaper elsewhere, the price will be beaten and £100 added on top. None of these are upgrades or extras. Forces Cars Direct has negotiated them as standard inclusions for every buyer through this programme.

How long does the voucher process take?

In most cases, vouchers are issued the same working day once proof of eligibility has been received. The team operates Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00, excluding bank holidays. Emailing your proof to [email protected] before submitting the form is the fastest route to approval.

What does the free Tracker device actually do?

Tracker is a covert stolen vehicle recovery system fitted professionally during your handover. It uses VHF technology that signal jammers cannot disrupt, and holds a formal agreement with every UK police force to actively pursue and recover stolen vehicles. Their secure operating centre monitors 24 hours a day.

Can I part exchange my current car?

Yes. Big Motoring World accepts part exchanges on all makes and models. Bring your current vehicle to any of their stores and the team will provide a valuation and apply it to your purchase on the spot.

What if I find the same car cheaper elsewhere?

Forces Cars Direct has secured a price guarantee on every purchase through Big Motoring World. If you find the same car cheaper elsewhere, Big Motoring World will beat that price and add £100 on top. Bring the evidence to the store and their team handles the rest. Terms apply.

Does the 90-day warranty cover everything?

The warranty covers key mechanical and electrical components for 90 days from the date of purchase, included in the purchase price at no additional cost. For the full list of covered components on a specific vehicle, ask the Big Motoring World team in store before you finalise the purchase.

Does this apply to veterans, not just currently serving personnel?

Yes. Veterans are fully eligible. You do not need to be currently serving. The offer applies to anyone who has served in the British Armed Forces, including those who have left service. Contact the team at [email protected] with your DDs card, discharge papers, or veteran ID to confirm your eligibility before submitting.
