Tips for Test Driving

Test drives can turn interest into a sale, but safety is essential. Here’s how to manage it safely:

Verify the Buyer:
Before meeting, confirm the buyer’s details, such as name, ID, and phone number.

Choose a Public Meeting Place:
Opt for busy, well-lit locations like shopping malls or police stations.

Bring a Friend:
Avoid going alone. Having someone with you ensures safety.

Set Clear Rules:
Limit the test drive to a specific route and time. Explain: “For safety, the drive will take 15 minutes.”

Check Insurance:
Ensure your car insurance covers test drives by non-owners.

Keep Keys Safe:
Hold onto a spare key, and never hand over the keys until you’re in the car.
