The current odometer reading, in miles.

Be straight with us here. It is what keeps the quote steady on collection day.

Pickup and contact

Where the car is parked, which does not have to be your home address.

Preferred contact method

However you choose, we will use it once for the quote and not pass it on.

Outstanding finance, a lost title, warning lights, hail damage, a car boxed into a garage. Anything you mention here keeps the quote accurate.

Free, no obligation, and no credit check. We will not pass your details to anyone else.

What to prepare

Six things to have ready before collection day

None of this is needed to get a quote. Gather it once you have accepted one, and the handover itself takes about fifteen minutes.

  • The vehicle title, in your name. If it is lost, damaged or held by a lender, say so on the form and we will tell you what your state needs.
  • Photo ID that matches the name printed on the title.
  • Every set of keys you have, including the spare that lives in a drawer.
  • Your lender and rough payoff amount, if there is finance still owing.
  • An empty car. Check the glovebox, the trunk, under the seats and any roof box, and take your toll transponder and garage remote with you.
  • Your license plates removed, unless your state requires them to stay with the car.

Do not spend money on repairs. A mechanical fix almost never returns what it costs at this stage, and we price the car exactly as you described it. An honest description is worth far more to you than a clean bill of health.

How the pickup works

  1. 1

    You choose the slot

    Pick a date and a two-hour arrival window when you accept the quote. Most collections happen within two to three business days.

  2. 2

    We confirm the driver

    The day before, you get an email naming your driver and the vehicle they will arrive in. They carry photo ID and will show it.

  3. 3

    The driver checks the car

    A short walk around to confirm it matches what you described. No inspection theatre, and no renegotiating a car that matches.

  4. 4

    You sign the title over

    Two signatures and the keys. Someone named on the title has to be present, or nominate another adult with us in advance.

  5. 5

    Payment is released

    Same day, by bank transfer or certified check, whichever you chose. Transfers usually clear within one business day.

  6. 6

    We close it out with the state

    We file the transfer and notify your DMV, then confirm in writing that the car is off your name.

Something about your car that does not fit the form?

Outstanding finance, a title held by a lender, a car that has not moved in two years. All of it is normal here, and all of it is answered in full on the FAQ page.
