Terms of use

About Minkhal

Minkhal is a Saudi search engine that brings together car, parts and plate ads from other platforms and lets users post their own car ads.

By using the site, creating an account or posting an ad you agree to these terms and to the privacy policy. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

Minkhal is not a party to any sale

Minkhal doesn't sell, buy or own any car, part or plate, doesn't take any payment, and doesn't guarantee ads, the condition of cars or who sellers are. Any agreement, payment or handover is directly between buyer and seller, at their own responsibility.

Ads from other platforms (such as Haraj, Syarah and OpenSooq) are shown as those platforms published them; opening one takes you to that platform, whose terms apply. Platform names identify destinations only and imply no partnership.

Ownership of cars and plates is transferred only through Absher. Don't transfer any money before inspecting the car and completing the transfer.

Your account

You must be an adult (18 or older) to create an account. You're responsible for your details being correct, for keeping your password secret and for everything done from your account. Tell us at once if you think someone used it without your permission.

You can delete your account at any time on “My account”; your ads, messages and saved searches are deleted with it.

Posting ads

Posting is free and an ad stays up 60 days. By posting you confirm the car is yours or you're lawfully authorised to sell it, and that the details and photos are true, current and of that car.

Not allowed: stolen cars, or cars under a lien not disclosed or without proper papers; misleading details (fake price, wrong year or mileage, another car's photos); duplicate ads; anything other than cars; content that is offensive or breaks public decency or Saudi law; anyone else's personal data without their permission.

You give Minkhal a free, non-exclusive right to show and copy your ad and its photos on the site, in search results, search engines and AI assistants while the ad is up. You remain responsible for your ad's content.

Limits: 5 new ads a day and 20 live ads at once per account.

Messages and WhatsApp

Messages on Minkhal are only for negotiating about the ad. No spam, bulk messages, advertising, fraud, requests for upfront payments or abuse. Never share bank details or verification codes with anyone.

A WhatsApp number shows only if the seller added it, and only to signed-in users.

Moderation and reports

Any signed-in user can report an ad. An ad with several reports is paused automatically until the admins review it. Minkhal may remove any ad or message, or suspend any account, that breaks these terms or the law, without notice, and cooperates with the competent authorities when lawfully required.

Prices and tools

Average prices, price ranges and the “far below the market” badge are automatic estimates from published ads, not an official valuation or an offer. The finance calculator is a simple estimate; the finance provider sets the actual instalment.

Affiliate links

Some store links are affiliate links that earn us a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you, and paid ads are marked “Ad”.

Liability

The service is provided “as is”. As far as the law allows, Minkhal isn't liable for losses from dealings between users, from other platforms' ads, from interruptions of the service or from errors in data taken from those platforms.

Governing law and changes

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Saudi courts have jurisdiction over any dispute. We may change the terms and will announce important changes on the site; continuing to use the service means you accept them.
