The reservation holding fee helps to secure the vehicle with the retailer. It is paid to Auto Trader and held with Stripe (our payment provider).
The retailer does not receive the reservation fee. It does not get taken off the price of the vehicle.
As soon as you let us know if you did or didn’t purchase the vehicle, we will issue a refund of the £99 directly to you. If you do not let us know, the money will be automatically refunded back to you in 21 days.
