Free Car Collection for Wrecked Vehicles - Nationwide in South Africa

What free car collection includes

Our free car collection for wrecked vehicles covers pickup from home, repair shop or storage yards across major metros - Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban - and surrounding areas nationwide. When you accept our offer we:

• Arrange and pay for towing of the vehicle to our facility or salvage partner.
• Complete the necessary paperwork including transfer or deregistration assistance where applicable.
• Release payment quickly once collection is confirmed and paperwork verified.

Who benefits from free collection?

Free car collection for wrecked vehicles suits:

• Private owners whose cars are non-running or too damaged to drive.
• Small businesses and fleet operators looking to remove written-off vehicles quickly.
• Owners in remote areas who would otherwise face high towing fees.

Cost transparency and realistic expectations

Free car collection removes a common barrier to selling wrecked vehicles. Typical private towing fees in South Africa can range widely depending on distance and vehicle condition; as an estimate, local short-distance tows might cost around R500-R1,200 while long-distance or recovery jobs can be R1,200-R2,500 or more (estimates for context only). By including collection, we simplify the sale and avoid surprises on pickup day.

Feature callouts

• Any condition accepted: accident damage, flood, fire, written-off and non-running.
• Nationwide coverage: pickups from all major cities and most surrounding regions in South Africa.
• Paperwork support: we assist with transfer, deregistration notes and proof-of-sale documents.

4. Paperwork & payment: We handle admin (including deregistration help) and release payment shortly after collection and verification.

What we need from you before collection

Common scenarios and South Africa examples

Example 1: A Cape Town owner with a non-running written-off sedan uploads photos and description, accepts the cash offer and schedules collection. We tow the vehicle from their repair yard to our partner and handle deregistration, releasing payment within 48 hours of pickup.

Example 2: A small fleet operator near Durban needs to clear two accident-damaged vans. We provide a combined valuation, collect both vehicles on the same day with free towing and process the paperwork for each unit.
