Under this program, Westminster residents and businesses may be eligible for a $500 rebate from participating Westminster auto dealerships!
The goal of the City's Vehicle Incentive Program (VIP) is to incentivize residents and businesses based in Westminster to purchase or lease vehicles from franchised, local dealerships. Purchasing or leasing a vehicle from the franchised participating dealers generates sales tax revenue that is circulated back to the City to provide and enhance services for the community. Local purchases or leases also support job retention and ultimately, promote economic vitality.
Rebates will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on program budget and funding, and beginning on April 1st of each year.
