Can I sell a junk car with unpaid tolls?

Share article:

2 min read

As you pack it up, pack it in, and begin a road trip or commute to work, you’ll likely pay a few toll fees along the way. Why? Because the toll roads in the United States are bonkers. 36 states have tollways or turnpikes for roads, bridges, and express lanes. Florida has the most, with over 700 miles of pay-to-drive on pavement.

Unpaid toll fees

Using toll roads is the easy part. Paying for them can be tricky. Sometimes, you don't even realize you have unpaid tolls, especially if you drive across multiple states. Then comes the time when you have to sell your beloved road warrior, but what if you owe toll fees? Can you sell a car with unpaid tolls?

Technically, yes. This is because missed tolls, parking tickets, or other fines are linked to the car's registration, not the car itself.

More fines are not fine

While you can still sell your car with unpaid tolls (and hopefully that is to us), it's important to understand that you still need to cough up the dough, even after selling the car. Not doing so could increase fines and block you from renewing your license or registration, depending on the rules and regulations of your individual state.

The toll price you have to pay

We get it, not every toll road has the same payment method to use, and keeping track of how to pay them can be a pain in the posterior. But selling your overused car with unpaid toll fees couldn’t be easier. Just go to Peddle.com, tell us about your car and we’ll make you an offer in minutes. We’ll take your car off your hands in a few simple steps. After we pay you in-person, go back online and look up those toll fees so you can wipe the slate clean.

Super easy to work with! Got way more value for my car than anyone else would offer. The online process was simple to use. The person picking up the car was professional and straightforward. Pleased with my experience! Definitely recommend.

I've used them twice to get rid of cars either not running or not in good shape. Fair offer, you know just what you're getting. And you don't have to worry about a bunch of spam calls or waiting on competing offers like you do other places. The company partner contacted me same day and were very quick to schedule.

What a great experience! Very easy. Sad to see my car dead on the side of the road, but Peddle made everything smooth: I did the online quote, they sent a truck out the next day, and I was paid immediately. Thank you, Peddle!

Selling my old junk car couldn't have been easier than what this was. A couple of clicks on the keyboard one or two phone calls between transport and was done!!! Happy with the price I got, trade in prices were much lower than what I got from peddle. If there is a need to use this service again I will gladly do it!!

Peddle made the process to sell my 2007 Honda Fit super easy. Received a quote within minutes of submitting my information and their price was significantly higher than others. Their local pick-up partner was also responsive and worked with me on what could have been a logistical nightmare. Highly Recommend.

Awesome experience! I was apprehensive at first because everything seemed too simple. I answered a few questions, received a quote and scheduled pick up. Communication is excellent. The pick-up driver was very professional and knowledgeable. I got $685 for my 2004 Lexus ES

My mother's 2003 Nissan Xterra had a broken timing belt and was too old to consider such a costly repair. We just needed to get rid of it. Peddle was hassle-free, very responsive, and gave us same-day service with a great offer!

This was such a quick and easy service to use! I cleaned my things out of the vehicle and it was ready to be picked up. I went online last night, it was towed this afternoon. My tow driver Will, is awesome!! Thank you so much, I definitely thought this was going to be a hassle and it couldn't have been more simple!

Peddle gave me the best offer of the four companies I contacted. The tow people (a really nice couple!) showed up as scheduled, handed over the check and towed away my terminal old Camry. I really nice experience and I would recommend Peddle wholeheartedly.

Very easy and fast process. Peddle offered me significantly more than other companies. In less than 24-hrs from clicking the "Accept Offer" button, my 2015 Toyota Highlander was picked up and check in hand. Could not have gone any better. Highly recommend!
