The trust crisis

Private car transactions are broken — and everyone knows it.

Fake listings, staged inspections, payment fraud and stolen identities are now routine on classifieds and marketplaces. You’re told to “be careful”, but the platform still gets paid.

  • $288,000+ lost to vehicle scams in just 90 days.
  • 20% of scam victims also lose personal information.
  • Most platforms profit even when the experience goes wrong.

What CarHaven is

Not a marketplace. A trust platform with zero financial bias.

CarHaven never gets paid to sell a specific car, list a car, or push you into a decision. No commissions. No upsell incentives. Our only job is to keep you safe and informed.

TrustChain™ verification

Every buyer, seller, renter and vehicle goes through baseline verification. Identity, history, and intent are checked and logged.

Concierge-guided process

Talk to a real human. Ask questions. Get step-by-step guidance from someone who doesn’t benefit from the outcome.

Protection at every step

Secure inspections, contracts, payments and handovers. Finally, a process designed around your safety, not the platform’s cut.

  • Verified sellers & vehicles (VIN, PPSR, history checks)
  • Safe, structured inspections and test drives
  • Objective advice on price, condition and risk
  • Simple contracts and ownership transfer
  • Optional mechanical inspection upgrades

How it works

A simple, guided 6-step process — for every transaction.

1. Verify

We verify people and vehicles using TrustChain™. No unverified profiles, ever.

2. Connect

You’re matched with verified buyers, sellers or renters that fit your needs.

3. Inspect / Check

We help arrange safe inspections, history checks and optional mechanical assessments.

4. Protect

Contracts, payment structure and safety protocols are put in place before money moves.

5. Transact

Payment and transfer happen through a secure, guided workflow — no surprises.

6. Complete

Keys, funds and ownership change hands cleanly. The transaction is logged in TrustChain™.

Pricing

Simple, fixed pricing. No commissions. No bias. No surprises.

CarHaven earns the same regardless of which car you buy, how much you sell for, or whether you walk away. That’s what makes our guidance truly independent.
