Payments for vehicle purchases are handled directly between buyer and seller. We recommend secure payments via bank transfer or mobile money. For Lagova services (subscriptions, promotions), we accept Mobile Money (Airtel Money, MTN MoMo), bank cards and transfers.

How do premium listings work?

Premium listings benefit from increased visibility: priority display in search results, 'Featured' badge, and positioning on the homepage. These options allow sellers to attract more buyers and sell faster.

How do I secure my transaction?

We recommend always checking the vehicle in person before purchase, requesting all documents (registration card, technical inspection, maintenance invoices), and preferring traceable payments. For verified professional sellers, look for the 'Certified Seller' badge on their profile.

Security and Trust

How do I recognize a verified seller?

Verified sellers display a 'Certified Seller' badge on their profile. This means we have verified their identity and professional documents. Partner dealerships and garages also go through a verification process to ensure their reliability.

Is my personal data protected?

Protecting your data is our priority. We use SSL encryption to secure all communications. Your personal information is never shared with third parties without your consent. See our privacy policy for more details.

How do I report a suspicious listing?

If you encounter a suspicious listing or fraudulent behavior, use the 'Report' button on each listing. Our moderation team reviews all reports within 24 hours and takes necessary action. You can also contact us directly via our contact form.

What tips for buying safely?

Always meet the seller in a public place, inspect the vehicle in person, take a test drive, check all original documents, ask for the maintenance history, and never send money before seeing the vehicle. Be wary of offers that are too good to be true and advance payment requests.
