Sell Your Fire Damaged Car in Durban - Fast Cash & Free Towing

Turn Your Fire Damaged Car into Cash in Durban

If you own a fire damaged vehicle in Durban or surrounding KwaZulu-Natal areas, selling can feel overwhelming. Traditional buyers and dealerships rarely accept fire-affected cars, and private buyers often offer poor value and come with complex logistics. That's where Sell Your Damaged Car steps in. We specialise in buying fire damaged, burnt-out, or smoke-affected vehicles for cash, regardless of their running condition. Our Durban-based team provides rapid, no-obligation quotes, free collection, and expertly manages the legal process-including all paperwork and deregistration requirements.

Why Sell a Fire Damaged Vehicle?

• Repair costs for fire or smoke damage can be extremely high and often outweigh the car's value.
• Insurers may write off vehicles, leaving you with limited disposal options.
• Leaving a burnt-out car unused increases storage costs and diminishes value.

What Kinds of Fire Damaged Cars Do We Buy?

• Accident-related engine bay fires
• Interior and dashboard electrical faults
• Complete burnouts or partial panel damage
• Smoke-contaminated interiors
• Flood-induced electrical fires

All makes and models are accepted-private-owned, business fleet, bakkies, sedans, hatchbacks, and commercial vehicles.

Our Hassle-Free Process in Durban

• Upload your car's details and photos for quick assessment.
• Receive a competitive, transparent cash offer-no obligation to proceed.
• We handle all paperwork and arrange free collection from any location in Durban or greater KZN.
• Payment is processed immediately after pick-up, verified before you sign over the vehicle.

Legal & Paperwork for Selling Fire Damaged Cars in South Africa

Selling a fire damaged car in Durban comes with unique legal considerations. In South Africa, vehicles written off or no longer roadworthy must be deregistered to comply with eNatis and municipal regulations. Our service ensures you remain compliant without hassle-we'll guide you through notification of change of ownership, deregistration as 'code 3' (permanently unfit), and handover of all needed documents.

• We take care of all eNatis submissions and deregistration steps.
• If your car is under finance, we coordinate settlement with your finance provider before collection.
• Our process is transparent: you receive full records and proof of transaction upon completion.

Tips to Maximise Your Fire Damaged Car Offer

• Take high-resolution, clear photos showing all damaged areas and remaining undamaged components.
• Provide details on when and how the fire occurred, and list any working mechanical/electrical items.
• Include up-to-date paperwork, recent service history, and proof of insurance payout if settled.
• Don't delay-coastal weather in Durban can accelerate deterioration, further diminishing value.

What Happens After Collection?

Once your fire damaged car is collected in Durban, payment is confirmed and completed. Our team submits required documentation to eNatis and authorities for your peace of mind. Your vehicle may be dismantled for salvageable parts or appropriately recycled, depending on its condition and the extent of fire damage. Throughout, our process remains fully compliant with South African waste, environmental, and salvage regulations.
