Frequently asked
Everything you need to know.
Straight answers about buying, selling and staying protected on Crive.
Every vehicle is presented via a real-time livestream. You can watch the car in detail, ask the seller questions, and place bids that update instantly for everyone in the auction. When the timer ends, the highest bid above reserve wins.
Yes. Every seller passes multi-step identity, address and document verification. Payments are held in escrow via Stripe and only released after delivery and a 48-hour inspection window.
Buyers pay a small transparent buyer's premium on winning bids. Sellers pay a flat listing fee only after a successful sale — no hidden costs, no monthly subscriptions.
Absolutely. Create an account, verify your identity, and list your vehicle in minutes. Our team reviews every listing before it goes live to keep quality high.
