How to sell a car with free collection?

1. Determine Your Car's Value

Before initiating the selling process, get an idea of what your car is worth. You can use online car valuation tools or seek professional help to establish a fair asking price.

2. Choose a Free Collection Service

Several car buying services, like Car Owl, offer free car collection as part of their package. By choosing such a service, you save both time and transport costs.

3. Prepare Your Car

Before the collection, ensure your car is clean and well-presented. Remove all personal belongings and give it a good clean. This can leave a positive impression on the buyer.

4. Arrange a Suitable Time

Coordinate with the car buying service to schedule a collection time that suits you. Ensure you're present at the time of collection for a smooth transaction.

5. Complete the Paperwork

Before the car is collected, complete all necessary paperwork. This includes the V5C logbook, which should be updated to inform the DVLA about the change of ownership.

6. Receive Payment

Most reputable car buying services will process the payment before they collect the car. This ensures you have been paid in full before you hand over your car.

7. Handover

Finally, hand over the keys and any other relevant items (e.g. service history, MOT certificates) at the time of collection.

Selling your car with free collection can be a convenient, hassle-free process if you choose the right car buying service. At Car Owl, we make it simple for you to sell your car and have it collected for free, right from your doorstep.
