What is an HPI Check?
HPI (Hire Purchase Information) was one of the first vehicle history check services in the UK. The term "HPI check" has become so common that many people use it to mean any vehicle history check.
While HPI pioneered the industry, they now charge premium prices - up to £29.99 for a full check. Green Flag provides the same essential data from the same sources, plus our exclusive salvage auction check, for just £9.99.
The bottom line: You don't need to pay HPI prices to get comprehensive vehicle history data.
Why Choose Green Flag Over HPI?
Save Up to £20
HPI's full check costs up to £29.99. Green Flag delivers comprehensive data for just £9.99. That's up to 67% savings on every check.
Salvage Auction Data
HPI doesn't include salvage auction records. Our check does, revealing hidden damage that even the famous HPI check misses.
Same Data Sources
DVLA, police records, finance databases, insurance records - we access the same trusted sources that made HPI the industry standard.
Modern Platform
Unlike HPI's legacy systems, we've built our platform for today's users. Fast, mobile-friendly, and designed for clarity.
The HPI Legacy
HPI built their reputation over decades. They were pioneers, and the term "HPI check" became synonymous with vehicle history checks. But pioneering comes with costs - legacy systems, established pricing, and less incentive to innovate.
Green Flag takes a different approach:
Modern Technology
Built for speed and reliability
Fair Pricing
No premium for a famous name

Salvage auction records included

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a Green Flag check the same as an HPI check?
We provide the same core vehicle history data - finance agreements, stolen vehicle records, write-off history, mileage verification, and more. The key differences: we're cheaper and we include salvage auction data that HPI doesn't.
Why is HPI so expensive?
HPI charges premium prices based on their brand recognition. They were the first, so the name became generic. But you're paying for the name, not necessarily better data. Green Flag offers equivalent core data plus salvage auction records for a fraction of the price.
Does Green Flag check finance agreements?
Yes. Our check includes outstanding finance data from all major UK finance providers. If there's money owed on a vehicle, you'll know about it before you buy.
What does the salvage auction check reveal that HPI doesn't?
Many damaged vehicles are sold through salvage auctions, repaired, and resold without ever appearing in insurance write-off records. Our salvage auction check searches these auction records, revealing hidden damage history that HPI and other standard checks miss.
Is there a guarantee?
We stand behind our data. If you find any issues with the accuracy of your report, contact us and we'll investigate. Our goal is to give you complete confidence when buying a used vehicle.
