De-fleeting Damaged Vehicles for Cash in South Africa - Fast, Compliant & Nationwide

Why de-fleet damaged vehicles for cash?

Keeping damaged or non-running units in a fleet ties up capital, occupies yard space and increases storage, insurance and towing liabilities. Selling damaged fleet vehicles for cash frees working capital and transfers repair, storage and disposal risk to a specialist buyer experienced in salvage, parts recovery and export markets.

When to sell fleet vehicles rather than repair

• When estimated repair cost exceeds resale value or remaining fleet life.
• When a vehicle is written-off by insurers or has structural damage affecting safety certification.
• When rapid turnaround is required to clear yard space or reduce downtime.

Key benefits for fleet managers in South Africa

• Any-condition purchases: accident, flood, fire, mechanical failure and non-runners accepted.
• Free nationwide towing from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding regions - saves transfer costs.
• We handle paperwork, including deregistration and transfer admin, reducing fleet admin burden.
• Fast payment after collection to restore cash flow to your operations.

Common fleet scenarios

Examples include rental companies replacing end-of-life vehicles with high repair costs, municipal fleets disposing of storm-damaged units, and logistics businesses clearing non-running light commercials. In South Africa these choices are often driven by immediate operational needs and the availability of salvage demand in local and export markets.

Finance & compliance notes for South Africa

If a vehicle is under finance, provide lender details early - we can work with funders to settle balances or transfer titles as required. For written-off or salvage-designated vehicles, we follow South African deregistration procedures and provide documentation to support lawful disposal. All figures and timelines depend on individual cases and lender turnaround times.

What happens after collection

Once vehicles are collected we finalise paperwork, arrange deregistration where applicable, and process payment. Typical timelines for payment release are agreed per fleet contract; many clients receive cleared funds within 1-5 business days after collection depending on bank processing and any lender settlements.
