Auto Hookup provides a marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of vehicles in Nigeria, along with ancillary
services including vehicle inspections, documentation assistance, financing referrals, and dealer tools. We

4. Listings & Transactions
Vehicle listings are provided by dealers and private sellers. Auto Hookup verifies listings through our
inspection programme but does not guarantee the accuracy of every detail. All sales are between buyer and
seller. Auto Hookup is not liable for disputes arising from vehicle condition, title, or payment unless
covered by a specific Auto Hookup protection programme.
5. Transaction Commission & Platform Fees
Auto Hookup operates on a transparent, verified vehicle facilitation model. By using the Platform to buy, list, or sell a vehicle, all parties agree to the following 2.5% commission policy:
- 2.5% Standard Commission Rate: A standard facilitation commission of 2.5% (two point five percent) applies to the total final agreed selling price of any vehicle sold or purchased through leads, listings, inquiries, or introductions facilitated via Auto Hookup.
- Clarity for Buyers & Users: When negotiating or purchasing any vehicle discovered or verified through the Platform, buyers acknowledge that a 2.5% agency / transaction facilitation fee applies to the transaction for vehicle verification, physical inspection assistance, dealer escrow facilitation, and platform coordination.
- Applicability to Sellers & Dealers: Registered dealers, private car owners, certified brokers, and third-party sellers agree that all vehicles advertised on Auto Hookup are subject to the 2.5% commission upon successful transaction closing.
- Payment & Remittance Timeline: The 2.5% commission becomes due upon receipt of payment (full payment or initial deposit). The transaction must be declared as sold and the 2.5% commission remitted to Auto Hookup within 72 hours of transaction completion.
- Direct and Indirect Transactions: Any sale concluded with a customer who connected through Auto Hookup (via phone call, WhatsApp, in-app messaging, website lead, or verified referral) is legally recognized as a Platform-facilitated sale subject to the 2.5% commission, whether final settlement occurs online or offline.
- Non-Circumvention & Fair Dealing: Any attempt to bypass the Platform, under-report the actual transaction price, or withhold due commissions constitutes a material breach of these Terms. Violations result in immediate listing deactivation, permanent dealer badge revocation, account suspension, and pursuit of recovery remedies under Nigerian commercial law.
