Frequently asked questions

Buying

How do I reserve a car?

On a dealer’s car page, choose “Reserve with a deposit”. Once the deposit is paid the car shows as reserved and is held for you while you arrange the rest.

Is the deposit refundable?

Yes, in full if you cancel within the refund window shown when you reserve, if the bank declines your finance, or if we or the dealer call it off. After the window, part of the deposit may be kept for holding the car. The exact terms are on your deal page.

Can I ask dealers to find a car for me?

Yes. Tell us what you want and matching dealers send you quotes. You choose, or ignore them all.

Finance

Which banks do you work with?

We send your application to several of Zambia’s vehicle finance banks at once, so you can compare offers.

Does applying affect my credit score?

A credit check is done when you submit a finance application, with your consent. We never check your credit without it.

Delivery

Do you deliver everywhere?

Anywhere in Zambia. Remote areas can carry a surcharge, shown in the price before you book.

How soon can I get the car?

Usually a few working days after payment, to prepare the papers, plates and pre-delivery inspection, plus the time on the road. You choose a morning or afternoon slot.

Selling

How do I sell my car privately?

Go to Sell my car, verify your phone number and create your ad. Buyers message you through us, so your number stays private.
