Referral rewards let you earn a cash or voucher reward for directing a scrap, damaged or non-running vehicle to a professional buyer. For South African vehicle owners and small fleet operators, this is a low-effort way to turn an unusable car into extra income while helping the seller avoid towing and admin headaches. Sell Your Damaged Car purchases accident-damaged, written-off, flood or fire-affected and non-running vehicles across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and surrounding regions.
Qualifying vehicles typically include written-off or salvage cars, non-runners, flood or fire-damaged vehicles and mechanically failed vehicles where repair is uneconomical. The buyer evaluates each referral based on condition, age, make and local salvage demand.
| Referral scenario | Typical reward format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Direct owner referral (owner agrees to sell) | Cash or bank transfer | Fast verification after paperwork is complete |
| Lead-only referral (you pass a contact) | Voucher or credit | Paid after successful sale completion |
| Fleet or repeat referrers | Negotiated reward structure | Suitable for dealers or fleet managers |
Quick note: Reward format and timing vary by program rules and the specific vehicle condition. Sell Your Damaged Car supports nationwide referrals and handles collection and paperwork on successful transactions.

Most referral programs follow a few simple stages: submit the lead, allow verification, confirm the sale, and receive the reward. Sell Your Damaged Car streamlines this for South African referrers by handling towing, paperwork and payment once the owner accepts the offer.
When referring vehicles, check whether the car is under finance or has outstanding liabilities. Vehicles under finance require lender consent and may affect settlement timing. Always confirm the vehicle owner authorises the sale and be clear about who will sign transfer or deregistration documents. Sell Your Damaged Car assists with deregistration and admin for completed purchases.
Once collected, the buyer inspects and finalises paperwork. Payment to the vehicle seller is completed and the referrer reward is issued per the referral program rules. Typical timelines vary: verification and paperwork can take a few days; reward issuance depends on program terms and successful transfer.

For partners who plan regular referrals, contact our partnerships team through the site to discuss a tailored reward structure. Learn more about the types of damaged cars we buy on our dedicated page: Sell Damaged Cars.
When you’re ready to refer, confirm collection and we’ll arrange pickup - then the referrer receives their reward after the sale completes. Use this streamlined approach to earn extra cash while helping owners avoid repair or storage costs.
