Same-Day Salvage Car Collection and Cash - Fast Nationwide Service

What we buy and who this is for

We purchase salvage and damaged vehicles in any condition: accident-damaged, fire or flood affected, non-running, and insurance write-offs. The same-day salvage car collection and cash option is ideal for private owners, small fleet operators and workshops in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding regions who want to remove a vehicle quickly and convert it to cash without arranging transport or dealing with complex paperwork.

Key benefits at a glance

• Fast valuation and a fair, transparent cash offer based on the vehicle condition and salvage market demand.
• Free towing and same-day salvage car collection when available in your area.
• We handle paperwork including deregistration support and transfer paperwork to reduce admin burden.

How same-day collection works (overview)

After you upload vehicle details and photos, our team quickly assesses the information and provides a cash offer. If you accept and same-day collection is viable from your location, we arrange towing the same day, complete required paperwork and release payment shortly after collection. For more detail on our process see the About / How it works page.

Service areas and logistics

We operate nationwide with emphasis on major metros - Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban - and surrounding areas. Same-day salvage car collection depends on local tow availability and distance from our depots. If same-day pickup isn't feasible, we book the earliest convenient collection and still provide free towing. Learn about our vehicle types and accepted conditions on the Sell Damaged Cars page.

Step-by-step: From online quote to same-day salvage car collection and cash

1) Upload vehicle details and clear photos via our online form. 2) Receive a transparent cash offer based on make, model, year, damage type and salvage market demand. 3) Accept the offer; if same-day collection is possible we confirm pick-up time and location. 4) We collect the vehicle, complete necessary paperwork and release fast payment to your nominated bank account.

When same-day collection is likely

Same-day salvage car collection and cash is typically available for vehicles located within metropolitan areas or near our tow partners. Remote locations may require next-business-day collection. We confirm timing during the offer stage so you know if same-day pickup is feasible.

Legal, paperwork and finance notes for South Africa

We assist with transfer forms and deregistration guidance to help you meet Road Traffic regulations. If the vehicle is under finance, inform your lender - proceeds may need to settle outstanding finance before final transfer. Our team can work with lienholders to facilitate a compliant sale. For more on selling non-running vehicles, see Sell Non-Running Car.

What to expect after collection

• We verify the vehicle and paperwork at collection, then process payment - expect fast payment following verification.
• Deregistration support and transfer documents are provided; you keep copies for your records.
• If you need same-day removal due to space, location or safety concerns, tell our team when you get your quote so we prioritise scheduling.

Practical tips to speed up same-day collection

• Have clear photos (multiple angles) and accurate descriptions ready to shorten valuation time.
• Confirm key location details and any access restrictions so the tow team can collect without delay.
• If the vehicle is financed, notify your lender early to prevent settlement delays.
