About Dryv

Dryv is a car marketplace for South Africa designed around the buyer. Shoppers browse new and used cars from verified dealers, see real pricing and get step-by-step guidance through the purchase so they always know where they stand. An AI assistant, Scout, helps buyers search and compare cars, and the platform also lists dealerships.

Its LinkedIn description presents Dryv as an AI-powered automotive marketplace. Listings show price, year, mileage, fuel type and transmission, and include vehicles from brands such as Toyota, Omoda and Chery. Many listings are in Cape Town, where the company is based.
