Your Safety is our Priority.
Buying or selling a car involves large sums of money. Follow these essential tips to stay protected on DriveElite.
For Buyers
Meet in Public
Always meet the seller in a busy, well-lit public location. Police stations or crowded shopping malls in Accra are ideal.
Inspect Before Paying
Never send money before seeing the car in person. Bring a mechanic to check for hidden issues or mechanical faults.
Verify Documents
Ensure the car title, DVLA registration, and insurance documents are authentic and match the seller's ID.
Avoid Unrealistic Deals
If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is. Scammers often use low prices to lure victims into quick payments.
For Sellers
Verify Funds
Do not hand over the car keys until you've confirmed the full payment in your bank account or MoMo wallet.
Test Drive Closely
Always accompany the buyer during a test drive. If you're uncomfortable, ask for their ID beforehand.
Keep Personal Info Safe
Avoid sharing your home address or bank login details through public messages.
Report Suspicious Activity
If a buyer asks you to move the conversation to an unencrypted platform or offers weird swaps, report them to us immediately.
