What additional information does a carVertical report provide?

A carVertical report provides comprehensive information, including accident history, mileage, ownership history, recall records, and more. It is an in-depth, trustworthy source of vehicle history data.

carVertical strives to provide comprehensive vehicle history reports by compiling data from national registries, insurance databases, and other public and private sources. However, the availability and completeness of these reports can be affected by regional restrictions and data-sharing practices, which vary significantly across different areas.

Additionally, if previous owners have not used official services for vehicle maintenance or if transactional and maintenance events have occurred outside of official channels, these activities may not be recorded in carVertical's databases. As a result, there may be instances where a comprehensive report for a specific vehicle is not available. Rest assured, carVertical won't charge you for reports that are incomplete.
