Fleet and Taxi Owners: Simplify Your Vehicle Disposal

When fleet taxis or mini-bus vehicles reach end-of-life, are written off after an incident, or develop costly mechanical failures, storing or scrapping them yourself can be a logistical headache. Instead, selling them directly for parts is a fast and secure alternative.

Sell Your Damaged Car specialises in purchasing taxi vans, shuttles, and business fleet vehicles in any condition. We connect owners across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and all regions of South Africa to a streamlined process, fair offers, and reliable paperwork handling.

Why Consider Selling Fleet Taxis and Vans for Parts?

Fleet and taxi vehicles endure high mileage and frequent use, making them prone to engine, drivetrain or structural issues. When these costs exceed the resale value or render vehicles non-roadworthy, parting them out ensures value recovery without dragging out admin or risking legal non-compliance.

Quickly free up parking or depot space.
Comply with legal requirements for disposal and deregistration.
Avoid the complexity and expense of trying to repair or auction multiple high-mileage taxis.

Repair Costs vs Value Retained: South African Taxi & Fleet Example

Scenario	Est. Average Repair Cost (R)	Value After Repair (R)	Typical Offer for Parts (R)
Accident Damage (Structural)	40,000+	45,000 (if roadworthy)	20,000-35,000
Major Engine Failure	30,000-60,000	Varies (often not worth it)	15,000-25,000
Non-Running, High Mileage	20,000-50,000	30,000	10,000-20,000

*Figures above are South African market estimates (2024) and vary with make/model condition, spares demand, and vehicle age.

How the Parts Sale Process Works

Gather basic vehicle details: make, model, year, mileage, damage, and existing paperwork.
Upload information and images using our simple online form.
Receive a fair, transparent offer based on the condition and part-out value in your area.
Accept the offer to schedule collection - free towing at any major city or outlying depot.
We manage the paperwork, from deregistration to payment. Payment is processed immediately upon collection and verification.

Note: We work with private vehicle owners, fleet management companies, taxi associations, and shuttle businesses looking to simplify the disposal of multiple vehicles in a single transaction.

SA Legal & Admin Requirements When Selling Taxis or Fleets for Parts

It is vital to comply with all local regulations when disposing of fleet vehicles or taxi vans. This includes:

Completing the Notice of Change of Ownership (NCO) or Notification of De-registration (form yellow/blue, as appropriate in SA).
Ensuring that all outstanding fines, licensing fees, or finance obligations are addressed before transferring ownership.
Obtaining a release letter if the vehicle was under finance, allowing for lawful part-out or disposal.

Our team assists throughout, offering guidance and document templates, and efficiently handling deregistration with licensing authorities where possible.

Impact of Taxi & Fleet Damage Types on Offers

Damage Type	Effect on Offer
Accident (front-end)	Chassis and engine affected, offer reduced but parts like doors/wheels may retain value.
Mechanical (engine/gearbox)	Major running components faulty - interior, body and electronics still valued.
Fire or flood damage	Significant reduction if wiring/interior are affected. Alloy wheels, panels might be usable.
High Mileage/Non-Runner	Mechanical value low, body panels and undamaged systems can be salvaged.

Tips to Maximise Your Taxi or Fleet Offer

Have all documentation and keys ready - even if not roadworthy.
Indicate if multiple vehicles are for sale to streamline logistical planning.
Take clear images of every side, damage zones, and dashboard (for mileage/GPS units etc.).
Include service records if available; disclose all prior major repairs.

Delayed removals or unreported outstanding debt can reduce offer values. Quick admin means faster, higher-value deals.

What Happens After Collection?

Payment is processed and confirmed to your nominated account - usually same-day for major metros.
The vehicle is removed to a secure facility for environmentally responsible dismantling and parts resale, in line with SA salvage practices.
All legal paperwork, including deregistration, is completed and documentation sent to you for your records.
