How much does it cost to sell my car on DriveWest?
DriveWest charges a flat R499. No commission, no hidden fees, no percentage of the sale. What you sell your car for is entirely yours to keep.
How is DriveWest different from Gumtree or AutoTrader?
Every DriveWest listing gets its own dedicated Google-indexed page — not a generic listing buried under thousands of ads for furniture, phones, and everything else. Serious vehicle buyers find your car directly in search results.
Do I pay commission when my car sells?
No. You pay R499 once when you list. There are no commission fees, no percentage of the sale, and no further costs. The sale price is entirely yours.
What vehicles does DriveWest accept?
We list 2018 and newer vehicles only. This keeps the platform premium and ensures buyers are dealing with modern, well-valued vehicles. For older vehicles, please call us on 084 463 0013 to discuss.
How do buyers contact me?
Buyers call or WhatsApp you directly using the number you provide. DriveWest doesn't act as a middleman — serious buyers reach you immediately.
What areas does DriveWest cover?
DriveWest serves all of South Africa. Our core market is the West Coast of the Western Cape — Velddrif, Vredenburg, Langebaan, Saldanha, Paternoster and surrounding areas. Listings are visible and indexed nationally.
Is DriveWest safe?
All listings are reviewed before going live. When meeting buyers, always meet in a safe public place — police stations and shopping centres work well. For high-value vehicles, never accept cash; insist on an EFT that reflects in your account before handing over keys.
Can dealers use DriveWest?
Yes. Dealers get a dedicated profile page, logo on all listings, and a portal to manage their stock. Call us on 084 463 0013 to set up a dealer account.
