# Why Driveo

> Driveo gets you more money than a standard dealer trade-in, makes the process easier than selling privately, and handles everything from paperwork to loan payoff at no cost to you.

## More Money

Driveo's offers are competitive — you'll typically get more money than a standard dealer trade-in or many car buying services. Many customers end up leaving with significantly more than other offers. Driveo achieves this by buying directly from consumers through its dealer-partner network, eliminating the middlemen (auctions, wholesale dealers, transporters) who each take a margin. A short online form walks you through a few basic questions about your car and its condition — you can include photos and the VIN, but neither is required to get an offer.

## Same-Day, Secure Payment

No waiting period, no grace period, no third parties handling your money. Payment is processed at your appointment. Most locations pay immediately with a secure business check if you have the title. If you have a loan, Driveo handles the payoff and gets you any equity due, often same day.

## Cash Out Without Buying

Many dealers only buy your car if you buy one of theirs. Driveo lets you sell your car and walk away with cash — no purchase required.

## Car Not Paid Off? No Problem

Driveo sends payment directly to your lender and gives you the difference between the agreed price and what you owe, often same day. Your car does not need to be paid off before selling.

## Nearly Effortless

The online process means you only visit a drop-off location if you're happy with the quote and ready to sell. No driving around to different dealers for appraisals.

## Flexible Quote Validity

Most quotes use a dual-tier system: the initial offer is good for approximately the first 10 days at the full quoted price, then adjusts slightly (typically around 3%) and remains valid for about 20 more days — giving you up to 30 days total. This is much longer than the week or less offered by most car buying services. Take your time, compare options, and schedule when convenient.

## Zero Paperwork

You'll have zero interaction with the DMV. Driveo handles all paperwork and securely releases liability in the car you sell.

## No Pre-Sale Requirements

No smog test. No repairs. No detailing. Driveo buys your car as-is.

## No Post-Sale Risk

Unlike private sales, there's no risk of dealing with an unhappy buyer after the transaction is complete.

## Transparent Pricing

Driveo shows you exactly how the quote was calculated — your trade-in value, private sale value, and Driveo's offer — so you can make the best decision.

## Looking to Buy a Car?

Driveo's dealer-partners also sell vehicles. If you're looking to buy a car, ask about available inventory at your local location.
