Frequently Asked Questions

What is a vehicle history report?
expand_more
A vehicle history report aggregates data from state DMVs, insurance carriers, auction houses, salvage yards, and police records to show a vehicle's complete past — prior accidents, title brands, odometer readings, ownership count, service records, and recall history.
How much does a vehicle history report cost?
expand_more
Our free report includes specs, recalls, and safety ratings. Full paid reports — with accident history, title brands, and ownership — start at $1 through our NMVTIS-approved partners. No subscriptions or auto-bill trial periods.
What's the difference between a free and paid vehicle history report?
expand_more
Free reports cover government-sourced data: NHTSA specs, recalls, crash ratings, and EPA fuel economy. Paid reports add private-source data that costs money to access — insurance accident records, title brand history from state DMVs, odometer rollback checks, and auction records.
Are your reports as good as Carfax?
expand_more
Our paid reports come through NMVTIS-approved providers, which draw from the same underlying data sources as Carfax and AutoCheck: state DMVs, insurance carriers, and salvage yards. No single provider has 100% coverage of every incident.
What should I look for in a vehicle history report?
expand_more
Watch for title brands (salvage, rebuilt, flood, lemon), odometer discrepancies, prior accident damage, total loss events, multiple short ownership periods, use as a rental or taxi, and any unresolved recalls.
Can I run a vehicle history report by license plate?
expand_more
Yes. Enter the plate and state above, and we'll resolve it to a VIN for the full history lookup.
Why Vehicle Lookup

Built for trust, verified by data

What NMVTIS Is

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System is a US Department of Justice program that aggregates title data from all 50 state DMVs, insurance carriers, and salvage yards. It's the most comprehensive vehicle history database in the US — and the source our paid reports draw from.

Why History Reports Matter

One in five used cars has a title problem, a previous accident, or a rolled-back odometer. A vehicle history report catches these issues before you buy — potentially saving thousands in hidden damage, failed inspections, or totaled vehicle surprises.

03
03 / 03

No Report Is Perfect

No vehicle history report — including Carfax, AutoCheck, or ours — has 100% coverage. Accidents go unreported when they're fixed privately. Salvage titles vary by state. Always combine a history report with an in-person inspection by a trusted mechanic.
