Carfax and AutoCheck Bundle: Get Both Reports

There's no official bundle — so we built one

Carfax® and AutoCheck® are separate, competing companies. Neither sells the other's report, and neither offers a combined product that pulls from both databases at once. If you want data from both — which matters because their underlying data sources don't fully overlap — the traditional route is buying a subscription or single report from each company separately, at two separate checkouts, at two separate full prices.

VinRecordHub solves that two ways, and which one is cheaper depends on how many cars you're checking. For a single car, the combo is the direct answer: $9.99, both reports on one VIN, one checkout, no account. If you're checking several cars, a credit bundle covers the same ground — each credit redeems for either brand, so spending two credits on one VIN gets you both.

The credit route, step by step

If you're going the credit route, getting both reports takes three steps: buy a credit bundle at /bundles, enter the VIN you want to check, then redeem one credit as a Carfax® report and a second credit as an AutoCheck® report against that same VIN. Both reports arrive separately — typically within about 60 seconds of each redemption — so you can read the first while the second is generating.

• 1 credit = 1 report. Every bundle is just a block of credits — there's no brand attached to a credit until you redeem it.
• You choose the brand at redemption. Enter the VIN, pick Carfax or AutoCheck, and the report is generated from that provider's data.
• Redeem 2 credits on the same VIN for both. Nothing stops you from running the same car twice under different providers — that's the "bundle."
• No subscription, either way. You're not signing up for two separate monthly plans to get cross-brand coverage.

What each report is more likely to catch

Coverage depends on what was reported to each provider's network for a given VIN — neither company publishes a guarantee of completeness.

A worked example: which route is cheaper

Say you've found one car you're seriously considering, and its history matters enough that you want both data sources before you commit. Buy the combo — $9.99 for both reports on that VIN. Credits only win at volume, because two credits cost more than the combo at every bundle size but the largest:

The 15-credit tier is a wash — a penny either way — and only the 25-credit bundle is meaningfully cheaper, which makes sense, since that bundle is built for dealers running reports on a whole lot rather than one buyer checking one car. Either route is far under retail: a single premium Carfax® report (~$45) plus a single AutoCheck® report (~$25) is roughly $70 combined.

What if the two reports disagree?

It happens, and it's not a bug in either report — it's the expected result of two companies drawing on different, non-identical data networks. If Carfax® shows a clean title but AutoCheck® flags a salvage brand (or vice versa), treat the more serious finding as the one to investigate, not the one to dismiss. A missing record on one side usually means that provider's network simply never received the report from whichever state DMV, insurer, or auction house generated it — not that the event didn't happen. When the two reports genuinely conflict on something material like title status, that's a reason to walk away from the deal or demand documentation from the seller, not a reason to average the two answers together.

When double-checking is worth it

You don't need both reports on every car. For a routine, low-stakes purchase with a clean-looking listing, one report is usually enough. Add the second report when the stakes are higher: a large purchase price, an unclear ownership chain, an out-of-state or auction-sourced vehicle, or — especially — a car you're buying for export, where pre-import inspection is your only real chance to catch US-reported history before the vehicle ships. In those cases, the $3–$6 it costs to add the second report is negligible next to the risk of missing a salvage brand or flood title that only one provider's network caught.
