Safety Tips

When buying or selling a car, both parties should meet in-person to inspect the vehicle and then make the payment

Be wary of emails asking you to confirm your account or a password or email address change that you have not requested.

Any emails we send requiring you to log in will bring you directly to our site. Please check the links and make sure you are on the correct site. Bid and Drive will never ask for your password through email!

Be aware of common scams

Do not give out personal or banking information via email, chats or calls (e.g., Emirates id number, bank account number, debit/credit card details) as Bid and Drive does not require any such information for its proceedings

Inform Bid and Drive of any attempted fraud or suspicious emails, ads, or other activity by community members. Users can report other users caught breaking the rules. In the case of fraud, file a report with your local police department and contact us immediately. Users caught breaking the rules of the Bid and Drive platform will be prosecuted.

To avoid online frauds and scams, users must verify their account. Users must have a local mobile number in order to place an ad on Bid and Drive

After you place your first ad, you will be asked to verify your account

You may be prompted to verify your account by either sending a verification SMS OR entering a verification code that'll be sent to the mobile number you've entered during registration

SMS must be sent using the same mobile number you've entered during your registration
