The Complete Process

A clear, 5-step process — designed for speed, privacy and fairness.

1

Submit Your Details

Fill out our quick online quote form with your vehicle details — make, model, year and estimated value. Takes under 2 minutes. No commitment required at this stage.

2

We Contact You

We review your details and contact you promptly — usually within 1 business hour. We’ll discuss your vehicle and the loan amount we can offer.

3

Vehicle Assessment

Bring your vehicle to us for a free in-person assessment. We inspect the condition and confirm a fair market valuation. No cost, no obligation.

4

Agree on Terms & Get Cash

Once we’ve agreed on the loan amount and terms, you hand over your vehicle and walk away with cash — same day in most cases.

5

Repay & Collect Your Vehicle

Interest is payable each month while the loan is active. Clear the loan and collect your vehicle whenever you choose — there are no penalties for paying out early. Collection timing and arrangements are covered in your contract.

What to Bring When You Come In

We keep this simple. The goal is fast cash with minimal hassle.

Drive or transport your vehicle to us. It must be registered in your name and free of finance.

That’s it — no bank statements, no payslips, no credit history required.
