Question 1

Is Trust Drive a test drive security app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trust Drive is built specifically to protect private vehicle sellers during test drives. It combines ID verification, live GPS tracking, geofencing, and instant alerts into one mobile-first platform.

Question 2

Does the buyer need to download an app?

Accepted Answer

No. The buyer receives a unique QR code link. Everything — ID verification, GPS tracking, and messaging — happens in their mobile browser. Zero friction, zero installs.

Question 3

How does the test drive GPS tracker work?

Accepted Answer

Once the buyer's identity is verified and terms are signed, their phone begins posting GPS coordinates to the seller's live map every 20 seconds.

Question 4

What happens if the buyer goes outside the geofence?

Accepted Answer

The moment the buyer's location exceeds your set radius (default 10km), both an SMS via Twilio and an in-app alert are sent to you immediately.

Question 5

How much does Trust Drive cost?

Accepted Answer

Trust Drive uses a pay-per-drive model. One credit covers one full protected test drive session. Credits start at $5 CAD / $4 USD. No subscription or monthly fees.

Question 6

What are the top test drive safety tips for private car sellers?

Accepted Answer

The most important test drive safety tips for private sellers are: 1) Always verify the buyer's government ID before handing over keys. 2) Never let the buyer drive alone — use live GPS tracking. 3) Set a clear time limit and geofence so you're alerted immediately if the car goes out of range. 4) Have the buyer sign a digital test drive waiver before starting. 5) Meet in a public, well-lit location — never from your home address. 6) Trust your instincts and refuse any buyer who won't comply with identity verification.
