Everything You Need to Know
Clear answers regarding custody, inspections, and refunds.
What happens if the vehicle has hidden mechanical defects?
When the vehicle is delivered, you have a 24-hour review period. If you discover major discrepancies from the inspection report, notify Bidrit immediately. We halt seller payout, review the diagnostic logs, and if valid, organize vehicle return and issue a full refund of your escrow deposit.
How much does Bidrit Escrow cost?
Bidrit Escrow charges a standard transparent fee of 1.5% of the transaction value. This fee covers banking compliance, escrow custody, dedicated dispute mediation, and document verification.
Can I inspect the car myself before paying?
Yes! You can book an appointment at any of our official Bidrit Partner Hubs in Abuja or Lagos to inspect the car in person alongside our certified mechanics, or review the 120-point digital condition report online.
How do sellers receive their money?
Once the buyer approves the handover or the 24-hour verification window elapses without dispute, Bidrit automatically initiates an instant NIP transfer directly to the seller's verified Nigerian commercial bank account.
