The history of a used car: immediate access with CARFAX
Get to know our Vehicle History Report
What are the steps to purchase a CARFAX report?
Buying our vehicle report is super easy. All you need is a valid email address and, preferably, the license plate or VIN number of the car you want to buy. If you don’t have this information, you can still buy our report packs and use them to download the history when you have the car’s information.
As for the steps to follow:
- First enter a license plate or VIN number to buy 1 CARFAX report, or choose the report pack that suits you best.
- Then enter your email address and details to buy your vehicle report. For payment, you can choose between the different secure payment methods we offer.
We collaborate with thousands of credible data sources and meticulously verify the information’s quality before it’s made accessible to you. Due to the nature of the Vehicle History Business, we can’t assure an error-free or complete vehicle history report. If the information we provide falls short of your expectations, please reach out to our customer service for problem resolution.
I don’t have the VIN, what can I do?
It is best to ask the seller for the VIN before you go to see the car. If the seller is reluctant to give you the VIN, you should be careful. As our report is shortly available online, and you don’t need any specific document to buy it, you can also check the car when you go to see it in person.
Checking a CARFAX report costs up to a maximum of 39.99. The price may get cheaper depending on the number of countries from which we have obtained information. When you enter the VIN, you can check the final price before you buy.
With our Vehicle History Reports, you can identify risks and make an informed buying decision.
