We serve private owners and fleet operators across Durban, Umlazi, Pinetown, uMhlanga, and the greater KwaZulu-Natal region.

How the Cash Offer and Selling Process Works

  1. Fill in a quick online form with basic vehicle info (make, model, year, accident details, clear photos).
  2. Receive an initial cash quote for your accident car-usually within minutes, and with no obligation to proceed.
  3. If you accept, select a convenient time for collection-this includes free towing anywhere across Durban.

  5. Funds are paid into your bank account and verified immediately upon collection.

Legal and Paperwork in Durban & KZN

Our service covers transfer of ownership, deregistration with eNaTIS/NATIS, and compliance with South African salvage-sale requirements. Even vehicles still under finance can be accommodated, with transparent processes every step of the way. You avoid the hassle of scheduling trips to licensing offices or negotiating with multiple buyers.

Tip for Durban sellers: Keep all accident documentation, insurance reports, and service history accessible-these can help speed up the valuation and final paperwork.

What Happens After Collection?

Once we collect your accident-damaged vehicle, you receive proof of sale and payment confirmation. Your car is then deregistered promptly, ensuring you have no future liability. Vehicles may be recycled for parts, resold as salvage, or responsibly processed depending on their state and the Durban/KZN salvage market. You remain informed throughout for full peace of mind.

Maximising Your Cash Offer

  • Provide recent, well-lit photos from multiple angles, showing all damage.
  • Accurately describe accident details and any repairs attempted or completed.
  • Include service records and any insurance or police incident documentation, if available.
  • Remove valuables and personal licenses before collection.
