Yes. Vehicle history reports, trust scores, VIN decoding, and marketplace listings are completely free. Vehicle history is public infrastructure — not a paywalled product.

Question 2

What data sources does VINLEDGER AI use?

Accepted Answer

NHTSA VIN decoding, NHTSA recalls, NHTSA safety ratings, NHTSA consumer complaints, EPA fuel economy data, FMCSA carrier safety, BLS economic data, and verified community submissions. All data compiled by our VinHunter AI™ engine. We never paywall public data.

Question 3

What vehicles does VINLEDGER AI support?

Accepted Answer

Cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, aircraft, heavy equipment, RVs, e-bikes, and shipping containers — any vehicle with an identifier (VIN, HIN, tail number, or serial).

Question 4

How does TheftShield work?

Accepted Answer

Register your vehicle for free. Our community network watches for sightings, VIN clones, and suspicious listings. You get instant alerts. No hardware, no subscription — LoJack replacement for $0.

Question 5

Is VINLEDGER AI a CARFAX alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VINLEDGER AI provides free vehicle history reports using the same public government databases that paid services like CARFAX and Bumper charge $28-$45/month to access. We believe vehicle history is public infrastructure.
