The process

How Car4Travel works

From finding a car to getting your report — here is exactly what happens, step by step.

01

You find a car you like

You spot a vehicle on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree, or through a backpacker group. Before you meet the seller or transfer any money, you contact Car4Travel.

💡 Tip Send us the listing link and we can advise you on red flags before you even book.
02

You book & pay online

Book your car check in minutes. Pay securely online — AUD 249, one flat fee, no hidden costs. You then fill in the vehicle details: listing link, location, seller contact, and your WhatsApp number.

03

We contact the seller

Car4Travel reaches out to the seller directly to explain the process and arrange access to the vehicle. You don't need to negotiate or explain anything — we handle it.

💡 Tip If a seller refuses an independent inspection, that is a serious red flag. We will let you know immediately.
04

A mechanic inspects the vehicle

A qualified local mechanic physically inspects the car. This covers engine, brakes, suspension, transmission, tyres, electrics, AC, bodywork, and more. The inspection takes 1–2 hours on site.

Engine & oil condition
Brakes & suspension
Transmission & gearbox
Tyres & wheels
Electrics & air conditioning
Exhaust & emissions
Body condition & rust
Fluid levels & leaks
05

You receive your report

You get a full written report with photos directly on your WhatsApp or email. The report clearly explains what is good, what needs attention, and what the mechanic recommends.

💡 Tip Use the report to negotiate the price down if issues are found — many buyers save more than the cost of the check.
06

You decide with confidence

Buy with confidence, negotiate a better price, or walk away from a bad deal — all based on real information. That is the whole point.
