Overview
Bidbus makes selling your car faster and more transparent by turning it into a two-hour online auction where top franchise dealers compete.
Step 1 — List your car
You start by creating a free listing with your car’s details and photos.
When you list, you’ll also set a reserve price — the minimum amount you’re willing to sell your car for. You’ll never be forced to accept less than this number, and it protects you from lowball offers.
👉 During the listing process, a Bidbus team member will also reach out by text and email to guide you step by step.
Step 2 — Dealers compete in a 2-hour auction
Once your car is listed, hundreds of vetted, licensed dealers can place bids. The auction lasts just two hours, driving real competition for your vehicle.
Step 3 — Review your offers
At the end of the auction, you’ll see all dealer bids in one place.
If the highest bid meets or exceeds your reserve price, your vehicle is considered sold. At that point, you cannot ask for a higher price — the winning bid is the final sale price.
If the bids come in below your reserve, you decide whether to accept or decline.
👉 After the auction, if offers are below your expectations, you can always ask for help. Our team includes experts in negotiation who can work with dealers on your behalf to help you reach the price you want.
Step 4 — Payment and pickup
When you accept an offer, the dealer arranges pickup or drop-off and pays you directly. Bidbus ensures the process is safe, efficient, and transparent from start to finish.
In short
With Bidbus, selling your car is as easy as listing, setting your reserve, waiting two hours, and choosing the best offer — with our team supporting you every step of the way.
