Frequently Asked Questions

You do not contact the seller directly. On any listing you can submit an enquiry, request a callback, or book a test drive, and the BST team takes it from there — we confirm the vehicle is still available, answer questions about its papers, and set up the visit. Keeping first contact with our team is what lets us verify both sides before anyone travels to see a car.

Seller numbers are shown only to dealers with an approved BST dealer account, through the "Show Seller Number" button on a listing. Every reveal is logged against that dealer. For everyone else the enquiry, callback and test-drive forms are the route in — it keeps sellers from being cold-called by anyone who lands on the page.

We aim to respond within 59 minutes. You will get a call or WhatsApp message from the BST team confirming the vehicle, answering questions on permit and fitness validity, and offering a test-drive slot if you want one.

Yes. Book a test drive from the listing and we will arrange it. Many vehicles are kept at a BST Yard, where you can inspect the car and its paperwork in one visit; for a vehicle still with its seller we coordinate the viewing for you. Our yard locations are listed on the About page.

No. You can own a commercial vehicle on an ordinary licence — a commercial licence with a PSV badge is only needed by whoever drives it for hire. Fleet owners routinely buy vehicles they never drive themselves. There is more on this in our guide to buying a used taxi.

We list vehicles across Delhi NCR — Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad — plus Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Lucknow and Surat. Each city has its own page showing the stock currently available there.

It means the vehicle has been physically inspected by our team rather than listed on the seller's word. We check the vehicle's condition in person and go through its documents — RC, permit and fitness — before the listing is published. It is a check on what is being sold, not a warranty on how the vehicle will perform later.

It varies by vehicle, which is why permit status is shown on every listing rather than promised across the site. Some carry a live contract-carriage or All India Tourist Permit, others have lapsed papers priced into the asking figure. Read the permit line on the listing and ask us before you commit — our T-Permit guide explains what each type allows.

Start with how much permit and fitness validity is left, then whether the odometer matches the service history, the state of the CNG kit and its certification if fitted, any pending challans or loan hypothecation on the RC, and finally the body and engine condition. Our inspection checklist guide walks through each one in order.

Yes, and it is common — but an interstate purchase means an NOC from the registering RTO and re-registration in your state, which takes longer and costs more than a local transfer. Factor that into the price. Tell our team which state you are registering in and we will tell you what the specific vehicle needs.

The BST team supports the paperwork on both sides — we track the transfer through to completion rather than handing you a set of forms at the point of sale. Timelines depend on the RTO and on whether the vehicle carries a loan that must be closed first. Our Delhi RC transfer guide covers the process and documents in detail.

Because it is still being verified. A submitted vehicle sits as pending until our team has checked it and its documents, then moves to live — it does not publish the moment you hit submit. You can follow the status of each of your vehicles from your seller dashboard, where a listing shows as pending, live, reserved, sold or rejected.

Use our free taxi valuation calculator — it prices on commercial rules rather than private-car depreciation, which is the mistake that leaves most taxis listed too high and sitting unsold. It accounts for model, year, kilometres, permit status and condition.

Yes — edit any of your vehicles from your seller dashboard to correct the price, swap photos or update details as the vehicle changes. Keeping the asking price current matters more than most sellers expect: a stale price is the most common reason a listing collects views but no enquiries.

Yes. A hypothecated vehicle can be sold, but the loan has to be closed and the hypothecation removed from the RC before the transfer completes, and the buyer will want to see that in writing. Tell us upfront that there is a loan running so we can sequence the sale properly — our guide on selling a taxi with a loan pending covers the order of events.

Tell us and we will take it down. Live listings are meant to reflect real available stock — a sold vehicle left up wastes enquiries for you and our team, and sends buyers to a car they cannot have.

Register as a buyer, choose the dealer account type, and submit your business details for approval. Applications are reviewed by our team — you will see your status as pending, approved or rejected on any listing where seller contact is offered.

Approved dealers can reveal seller phone numbers directly from a listing and deal at their own pace instead of going through the enquiry queue. Each reveal is logged, which is the trade for direct access.

Yes. Tell our team the model, year band, fuel type, permit status and budget you are working to and we will come back with what matches, including stock not yet listed. Call +91-9560759834 or email support@buyselltaxi.com.

A marketplace. Vehicles are sold by their owners and by dealers on the platform; BST verifies the listings, runs the BST Yards and supports both sides through the transaction. You are buying the seller's vehicle, not ours.

A physical BST location where vehicles are kept and can be inspected. It gives you somewhere to see a car and its papers in person, rather than meeting a stranger at a roadside. Current yard locations are listed on the About page.

Never pay an advance to someone you have not met for a vehicle you have not seen — that single rule stops most of it. Verify the RC against the chassis and engine numbers on the vehicle itself, check for pending challans and hypothecation, and complete payment only alongside the transfer paperwork. Dealing through BST rather than an anonymous classified is the point: our listings are inspected and our team is accountable for the introduction.

Call +91-9560759834 or email support@buyselltaxi.com. You can also send an enquiry from any listing or use the WhatsApp button on the site — whichever reaches us, the same team picks it up.
