how long can you reserve a car on cinch

[VanWalker]

You can typically reserve a car on Cinch for up to four days (96 hours). This reservation period is designed to hold the vehicle for you while you arrange financing, a part-exchange valuation, or prepare for collection/delivery. It's a standard timeframe across their platform to balance customer convenience with inventory turnover.

To place a reservation, you'll usually need to pay a refundable holding fee. This fee is fully deducted from the final purchase price if you buy the car. If you change your mind, the fee is returned to you, making it a risk-free way to secure a vehicle you're serious about. The reservation is intended for completing the purchase process, not for indefinite holds.

If you need more time, it's best to contact Cinch's customer service directly. While extensions aren't guaranteed, they may be possible on a case-by-case basis depending on circumstances and demand for the specific car. The key is to communicate your needs early. The 96-hour window gives you ample time to finalize your decision without feeling rushed, but it's wise to have your finances in order beforehand to make the process smooth.

Four days. That’s the standard hold time. You put down a fully refundable deposit, and the car is yours for 96 hours. It gives you enough breathing room to sort out your trade-in or loan without the panic of someone else snatching it up. Just make sure you're pretty sure—it saves everyone time.
