BHPH Report: Byrider offers purchase discount to support first responders

INDIANAPOLIS – Byrider is looking to help first responders who are on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19 have reliable transportation by offering a special discount toward a vehicle purchase through the end of May.

The network of buy-here, pay-here dealerships said on Wednesday that active first responders can receive $500 to $750 off the purchase of a vehicle with proof of employment until May 31 at participating Byrider locations.

Byrider defines first responders to include paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, firefighters, rescuers, military personnel and other trained members of organizations connected with this type of work.

“At Byrider, we wanted to say thank you. With this initiative, we hope to make it more attainable for first responders to secure the reliable transportation they need to get to their important jobs and safely return home to their families at the end of a long shift,” Byrider chief executive officer Craig Peters said in a news release.

“It is simply our way of showing appreciation for the courageous work they are doing every day to keep people safe in our communities,” Peters continued.
