How buying through Truwo works

Direct from the owner, start to finish.

Truwo connects you directly with the car's owner. There is no dealer in the middle and no commission on top. Here is how a deal goes, and what keeps it safe for you.

The steps

Find the car. Every car on Truwo is checked by our inspection AI and price-checked against live listings before it goes up.
See it and drive it. We set up a test drive with the owner. You inspect the car yourself before anything else happens.
Pay the owner, directly. When you are happy, you pay the owner, in person. Truwo never asks for an advance and never holds your money.
Get the RC in your name. Truwo handles the paperwork, the RTO, and the bank, so ownership transfers cleanly to you.

What keeps it safe

No advance payments. Truwo will never ask you to send money before you have seen the car. Anyone who does is not us.
Nothing at risk until you are sure. You pay only after the test drive, only when the car checks out, and you pay the owner directly.
Ownership, properly transferred. The RC moving into your name is part of the deal, handled by Truwo, including clearing any loan on the car. More on RC transfer.
A real person, fast. Questions go to a real person on WhatsApp who replies within the hour during the day.

Before a car goes live

A car is listed only after Truwo runs a few checks:

The photos are reviewed by our inspection AI and given a condition score.
The RC papers are checked, including registration status and any loan recorded against the car.
The asking price is cross-checked against real, live listings of similar cars.
