We built the report we wished we’d had.
VinVerify started after our founder bought a 2014 pickup that turned out to have a salvage title from a flood event two states away. The dealer’s “clean” report missed it. We built VinVerify so it wouldn’t happen to anyone else, and we priced it so people would actually run one.
Make vehicle history the default, not an upsell.
The used-car market runs on information asymmetry. Dealers and private sellers know what they’re selling, buyers usually don’t. Vehicle history reports close that gap, but the incumbents have priced them like luxury goods. The $40 sticker shock is the entire reason most private buyers skip the check.
We negotiated bulk-data access with NMVTIS-approved providers and built our own report engine on top. The result: the same federal and state-level data you’ll find anywhere else, delivered for as little as $1.32 per report on our top membership tier.
VinVerify is independently owned. We’re not a marketing front for an insurance company or a data broker, we make money when you find the report useful and tell a friend.
