What's the best way to sell a car remotely?

Share article:

3 min read

These days, you can buy just about anything on the interwebs and have it delivered to your door. It’s pretty easy to sell things too—but what about your old car? Well, there is one way…

have you heard about Peddle?

Here’s the lowdown. Peddle was set up to try and make it as quick and easy to sell your car online. Sure, there were other ways to do—like Facebook marketplace, Craigslist or second-hand car listing sites—but these often end up more trouble than they’re worth. We wanted to create a way to sell your car online without having to watch out for online scams, time wasters, or dodgy dealers.

And we think we did it (check out our reviews if you like, we’re pretty proud of them).

how does Peddle work?

All you have to do is tell us a few details about your vehicle and we’ll give you an instant offer. We’ll even send someone to pick it up, and hand you a check.

what if I can’t be present for my car’s sale?

It’s a question a lot of people ask us, and in many cases the answer is yes! Let’s take a look at some of the specifics.

do I need to be present when the tow truck comes to pick up my car?

If you’ve made prior arrangements, you may not need to be there when your car gets collected. However, if you’d like payment on the spot (and who doesn’t!?) you will have to have someone there to meet the carrier. Get in contact with your carrier to discuss your options (we’re also here to help if you need it).

do I need to sign anything in person upon pickup?

If your car has a title, as long as the title has been signed in advance, then no, you’re all good! If you are selling your car with a title, some states require your title to be notarized. If you live in one of those states, or if your title was issued in one of those states, be sure to have that done beforehand.

can my spouse / family member pass off the paperwork for me?

Yes, if the owner of the car has signed the title in advance, then you can have a family member pass on the paperwork.

what do I need to have signed and ready before pickup?

To have your vehicle prepped for pickup, make sure you clear out any personal items and have the keys handy. You’ll need to have the title signed, and be ready to remove the license plates too.

There are lots of ways to sell your car online, but Peddle makes it as easy as ever, and you don’t even need to be there. If you are planning on selling your car remotely, then there may be a few things to double check before pick up, but we’re on call to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible.

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!

Was very skeptical at first. But after using Peddle I can't believe what an amazing experience. They went above and beyond anything I could have imagined. I now sing the praises of this website to everyone I know. Thanks again for such an incredible process from start to finish. You have certainly raise the bar.

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!
