Is listing my car free?
Yes — a basic private listing is free. It is reviewed before publishing and stays live for the period shown on the pricing page, after which you can renew it.
Why does my listing need review?
We check listings against our listing rules to keep the marketplace accurate and safe. Changing key details of a live listing (make, model, year, mileage, photos or description) sends it back for a quick review.
How does managed selling work?
You request a managed sale for your car and accept the terms. Our team reviews pricing, arranges photos, qualifies buyers, handles viewings and offers. The success fee is due only after an authorised confirmation that the sale has completed.
Who sees my phone number?
You choose. By default buyers message you through TheCars; you can allow WhatsApp or show your phone number in your account settings.
Ready when you are
It takes just a few minutes to list your car — and it’s free.
