Stay safe on Mottars

Most deals go smoothly. These habits keep it that way.

For buyers and renters

• Keep chats on Mottars so there is a record.
• Inspect before you pay, in person or via a trusted mechanic.
• Never send a full payment for a car you have not seen.
• Use the VIN checker to confirm a car's identity.

For sellers and hosts

• Confirm payment has actually landed in your bank before handing over keys.
• For rentals, verify the renter and take check-in and check-out photos.
• Keep your vehicle documents and insurance current.

If something goes wrong

Use Contact support or, for a rental, raise it with the host first. Admins can step in on disputes.
