A simpler way to sell

Three steps.
Then it's your next move.

From the first registration check to the final handover, here's how selling with Car-Ching works.

  1. Tell us about your car.

    Start with your registration, mileage and a few details about its condition. We'll use those details to value your car.

  2. Choose your handover.

    Visit a local branch or speak to us about collection from home or work. We'll arrange the vehicle inspection with you.

  3. Agree. Hand over. Move on.

    Once the car has been checked and you've agreed the sale, the team will walk you through the paperwork and payment.

The final offer depends on your vehicle details and condition, confirmed when the car is appraised and test-driven.

Let's have a chat
  • We can come to you.

    Ask about collection at your home or workplace. Handy when bringing the car to a branch isn't practical.

  • The costs, made clear.

    No selling fee and no charge for standard payment into your bank account. An optional express payment service carries an additional fee.

  • Open when you are.

    Seven days a week, and until 6:30pm on weekdays. Pick a time that suits you.

  • Every car has a next chapter.

    All makes and models considered. Non-runner, finance or a private plate? Talk us through the details.

Local people. Their words.

A good feeling
to drive away with.

Call the team
Can you collect my car?

Yes, collection from home or work can be arranged. Speak to the team about your location and the car, especially if it can't be driven to a branch.

What do I need to bring?

Your V5C, MOT details, service history, both sets of keys, photo ID, proof of address and bank payment details. If the car is financed, bring a settlement letter from the lender. See the full checklist

Can I sell a car with outstanding finance?

Tell the team about the finance before your visit. They'll need a settlement letter from your finance company to discuss the sale with you.

How does payment work?

There is no charge for standard payment into your bank account. An express same-day transfer is available for an additional fee, subject to conditions and branch approval. Ask the team to confirm the current timings and fee before you decide.

Does the condition affect my offer?

Yes. Your vehicle details, mileage, service history and condition matter. Cars are appraised and test-driven before the sale, and a difference from the description may change the offer.

What if my car doesn't run or has a private plate?

Car-Ching considers non-runners and cars with private plates. Call first so the team can understand the details and help you plan the next step.
