All document screening, loan clearance, vehicle payments, and sale finalization are securely handled through Bids&Drive SafePay at https://bidsanddrive.com/safepay

Reach thousands of serious buyers and achieve the best possible price for your vehicle through our competitive auction format.

Once a car is sold on Bids&Drive, we connect the buyer and seller directly and provide a custom post-auction checklist to ensure a smooth, transparent, and secure transaction. Below are our best-practice recommendations for completing a successful sale—and remember, our team is always available to assist.

1. Make Contact

• Contact the other party promptly after the auction ends to introduce yourself.
• Maintain clear, professional, and positive communication to keep the process smooth
• Sellers should provide proof of ownership to the buyer, typically a copy or clear photo of the logbook/title and registration documents.

2. Payment, Loan Clearance & Documentation

• Buyers are expected to complete full payment within 2 days of the auction closing via Bids&Drive SafePay.
• If the vehicle has an outstanding loan, both parties must agree on the clearance process:
• If the seller has funds, the loan should be settled immediately, with official proof from the lender provided to the buyer.
• If not, the buyer may pay the outstanding balance directly to the lender, with the remaining amount paid to the seller through SafePay.
• A clear and accurate Bill of Sale must be prepared and signed by both parties. We recommend confirming current requirements and templates with KRA for logbook transfer and sale documentation.
• Secure payment methods are strongly recommended, including:
• Wire transfers
• Cashier's checks
• Bank-to-bank transactions (meeting at the buyer’s or seller’s bank)
• Approved electronic money transfers via Bids&Drive SafePay

3. Vehicle Release & Handover

• Vehicle pickup should be arranged only after full payment is confirmed into safepay account.
• The vehicle and logbook/title must not be released until the seller has received full cleared funds.
• For remote transactions, the seller should send the signed logbook/title to Bids&Drive or the buyer via a reputable courier service with a tracking number, once payment is confirmed

Bids&Drive SafePay is designed to protect both buyers and sellers—ensuring every transaction is secure, compliant, and hassle-free.
