Sell an Accident Car with Free Towing in SA - Fast Cash & Paperwork

What we buy and who this service is for

We purchase accident-damaged, non-running, fire- or flood-affected, written-off and salvage vehicles from private owners and small business fleets across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding regions. Whether the car is lightly damaged or a major collision write-off, you can get a transparent, no-obligation cash offer online.

How the process works - simple steps

Quick overview

• Upload vehicle details and photos via our online form.
• Receive a competitive cash offer based on condition and market salvage demand.
• Accept the offer, schedule free towing and we collect the vehicle.
• We handle paperwork (deregistration/help with finance settlements where applicable) and release fast payment after collection.

Why use a specialist buyer

Selling privately can mean towing costs, lengthy negotiations and admin headaches. A specialist removes logistics and handles documentation. For details about our approach and background, see our About us page.

Damage types and how they affect offers

Offers depend on vehicle data, repairability, market demand for parts and salvage interest. Below is a quick comparison to help set expectations (figures are illustrative categories, not offers).

For examples of vehicles that no longer run, see our Sell Non-Running Car page for more on how offers are assessed.

Note: market demand can change seasonally and by region; offers for parts-heavy models may be stronger in major metros like Johannesburg and Cape Town.

What happens after you accept the offer

Once you accept, we arrange free towing from your location anywhere in South Africa. Our team completes the required paperwork, assists with deregistration where applicable, and coordinates collection from private addresses, repair shops or storage yards in metros and surrounding areas.

Paperwork, finance and deregistration (South Africa)

We provide a written sales agreement and handle transfer documentation. If the vehicle is still under finance, we work with you and the finance provider to settle or provide the correct settlement instructions. Deregistration and transfer processes follow standard South African regulations; for more on our process and admin support see our Sell Damaged Cars page.

Tips to maximise your competitive cash offer

• Provide clear photos of damage from multiple angles and close-ups of any VIN/chassis plates.
• Share accurate service history and odometer readings - transparency tends to improve offers.
• Declare outstanding finance so settlement can be handled correctly; undeclared finance can delay payment.

Examples and timing (South Africa context)

Timing matters: prolonged storage can increase deterioration. In many cases, selling sooner reduces additional wear and can result in a stronger salvage-market offer. All sample figures in discussions on this page are illustrative; actual offers depend on vehicle data and current market demand. Payments are made in South African Rand (R) and are released once collection and paperwork are completed and verified.
