This FAQ guide from Sell Your Damaged Car covers the top queries from Durban vehicle owners, whether you're getting rid of a personal car or managing a business fleet.

What Types of Damaged Cars Do You Buy?

We buy a wide range of vehicles in any condition, including:

• Wrecked or accident-damaged cars

• Flood, fire, or hail-damaged vehicles
• Insurance write-offs, salvage and deregistered cars

No matter your car's brand, age or severity of damage, our Durban team is able to value and purchase it.

How Does the Selling Process Work in Durban?

2. Receive a competitive cash offer based on condition and market value.
3. If you accept, we send a tow team to your Durban location for free collection.
4. We handle all paperwork, including change of ownership and, if needed, deregistration.
5. Your payment is released and verified immediately after handover.

Do You Really Offer Free Towing in Durban?

Yes. Free collection and towing is standard across Durban and the greater eThekwini area. You don't pay for transport, no matter the car's location or condition.

Can You Buy Cars That Are Still Under Finance?

If your vehicle is under finance, we can often help, but will need to coordinate with your bank for settlement. Our team will guide you through the process and paperwork to ensure everything is handled according to South African legal requirements.

Don't worry if paperwork is missing - reach out and our Durban admin team will assist wherever possible.
