The Car Voucher in Forza Horizon 6 lets you claim any Autoshow vehicle without paying credits for it. It comes from the Deluxe and Premium editions, from the Welcome Pack, or from the Crunchyroll promotion, and it shows up as an extra purchase option when you go to buy a car. The catch is that any car you claim this way cannot be resold at the Auction House, so it behaves like a one-time, non-refundable ticket.
Where the Car Voucher comes from
Vouchers reach your account through a few different routes, and how you got it affects where you redeem the code first. The voucher itself only becomes usable inside the game once it is tied to the Microsoft/Xbox account you play on.
| Source | How you get the voucher |
|---|---|
| Deluxe Edition | Grants one Car Voucher with the game |
| Premium Edition | Grants one Car Voucher with the game |
| Welcome Pack | Included with editions that bundle it |
| Crunchyroll Ani-May promotion | A code for paying Crunchyroll members, redeemed on Xbox |
| Real-money purchase | Buyable in-game |
The Crunchyroll offer is the one with a deadline. You must claim the code by May 31, 2026, and redeem it on Xbox by September 30, 2026. Free trial members are not eligible, and the reward only works on the Xbox/Microsoft version, not a separate Steam key.
How to redeem the Crunchyroll Car Voucher code
If your voucher came from Crunchyroll, you need to claim it and then redeem it on Xbox before it appears in the game. Do this on the same Microsoft account you play Forza Horizon 6 on, since that account controls your Forza services.
Step 1: Sign in to the Crunchyroll Forza code campaign page with an active paid membership and select Claim Code. Your code appears on screen and may also be emailed to you. Each Crunchyroll account can claim one code only.
Step 2: Go to the Xbox redemption page at xbox.com/redeem, enter the code, and follow the prompts. Make sure you are signed in with the Microsoft account you will use for the game.
Step 3: Launch Forza Horizon 6 on that same account and progress until the Autoshow is available. Check your in-game messages and garage rewards once you reach it.
How to use the Car Voucher in the Autoshow
The game never forces you to spend the voucher. It simply adds a second payment option at checkout, so you can still buy cars normally with credits and hold the voucher for later.
Step 1: Travel to any Player House you own or a Horizon Festival Outpost and open the Buy & Sell menu, then select Autoshow.
Step 2: Sort the car list by Value so the most expensive vehicles appear first. Because the voucher claims a car for free regardless of price, a high-value car gives the best return.
Step 3: Pick the car you want, then choose a livery or the standard manufacturer colors, and continue to the purchase screen.
Step 4: On the final screen, select Use Car Voucher rather than paying credits, then confirm. The car is added to your garage immediately.
Fix: Autoshow asks you to buy Car Vouchers for $4.99
If the Autoshow prompts you to buy vouchers for $4.99 even though you already redeemed a code, the voucher has not yet been attached to the account you are playing on. This is the most common reason the Welcome Pack or Crunchyroll voucher does not appear.
- Confirm the code was redeemed on the exact Microsoft/Xbox account you are signed into in-game, not a secondary account.
- Double-check the code was entered correctly on the Xbox redemption page. Crunchyroll redemption is handled through Xbox, so a mismatched account stops it from reaching Forza.
- Fully close and relaunch the game after redeeming, since there can be a short delay before the voucher registers.
The $4.99 prompt is simply the paid purchase option shown when no free voucher is tied to your account. It does not mean your redeemed voucher was lost.
Best cars to spend the Car Voucher on
Spending the voucher on a cheap car is the one real mistake to avoid. A low-cost vehicle can be earned back in a couple of races, while the most expensive cars take an enormous grind, so the voucher pays off most when used on something you would otherwise struggle to afford. There are two sensible approaches: claim the single most expensive collector car, or claim a powerful car you will actually drive.
| Car | Autoshow price | Why pick it |
|---|---|---|
| 1967 Ferrari #24 Spa 330 P4 | 70,000,000 cr | The most expensive car in the game and the hardest to grind for |
| 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR | 60,000,000 cr | An ultra-rare collector car that you avoid grinding millions for |
| 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO | 48,000,000 cr | Another extreme-cost collector piece |
| Aston Martin Valkyrie | Hypercar tier | Road-legal hybrid hypercar that adapts to most disciplines |
| Koenigsegg Jesko | Hypercar tier | Top-speed king with room to improve through tuning |
| Mercedes-AMG ONE | Hypercar tier | The most well-rounded car for acceleration, handling, speed and braking |
| Ferrari FXX-K Evo | Performance tier | Strong all-rounder, though an upgraded version comes with the Welcome Pack |
There is no single correct answer between the collector route and the usability route. If your goal is to remove the biggest credit headache, the Spa 330 P4 wipes out a 70-million-credit grind in one click. If you want a car that earns its keep on the road, the Mercedes-AMG ONE or the Aston Martin Valkyrie will serve across most events once you reach the Wristband tier that allows their class into races.
