FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kinds of cars does Peddle buy?

We buy almost any car or truck, no matter the condition. Through our nationwide network, we purchase everything from well-loved vehicles over 10 years old to cars that barely run, or don’t run at all.

Whether your car is missing insurance, has expired registration, failed emissions or safety tests, or is one step from the scrapyard, we’ll likely make you an offer. Even totaled cars and vehicles labeled a "total loss" by insurance companies are fair game.

From clunkers to clean titles, if you’re ready to sell, we’re ready to buy.

How does Peddle calculate my offer?

We generate a competitive offer based on the details you provide. Our system factors in:

  • The current demand for your vehicle type
  • Regional pricing trends for used cars
  • The value of your car’s parts or scrap metal

We’ll buy cars in any condition, running or not, but a few things may increase your offer:

  • A working battery (so the car can start)
  • Properly inflated tires (if it’s drivable)

You don’t need an account or even an email to get started, and your car doesn’t need wheels or a transmission to qualify. Just enter your info and get a free, no-obligation offer instantly.

When will my car be picked up?

Free pickup is included with every offer. Once you accept, you’ll typically be scheduled within a few days, sometimes even the same day, depending on availability in your area.

You can pick a convenient time slot online, or if online scheduling isn’t supported in your region, our team will reach out to coordinate with you directly.

When do I get paid, and how?

Payment is made at the time of pickup, right on the spot. Most of the time, you’ll receive a business check from the tow driver. It’s safer than cash and ensures secure tracking of every transaction.

No hidden fees, no surprises, just simple, straightforward payment for your vehicle.

Can the offer change? What if I change my mind?

We stand by our offers, as long as the details you provide match the condition of the car at pickup. If there’s a major discrepancy (like a missing catalytic converter, significantly higher mileage, or a non-starting engine), we may revise the offer to reflect its true value.

Our drivers verify details like VIN, mileage, condition, and missing parts. Honesty is the best policy, we buy cars in all kinds of shape, and we don’t judge.

You’re free to cancel the sale or decline the updated offer at any time before pickup.

What happens to my car after it’s picked up?

Cars sold through Peddle go on to a variety of destinations, including licensed dealers, salvage buyers, junkyards, recyclers, and wholesalers.

After pickup, we’ll send you a receipt with all the transaction details. You’ll also receive helpful instructions based on your state, including whether you need to:

  • File a Notice of Sale or Release of Liability
  • Surrender license plates
  • Complete a title transfer

We make it easy to wrap things up so you can move on without a hassle.

The service was simple to use from beginning to end. And I felt the offer to be extremely fair. I will recommend it to anyone looking to sell a car that isn't in the best condition and for which you wouldn't get much of an offer from a used car lot or, obviously, services such as Carvana and Carmax

Selling a car that's seen better days can feel tricky, so it's great to hear the process worked well for you from start to finish, Susann. Thanks for the recommendation!

Peddle is Outstanding!

I used Peddle 10/22/26 to sell my Nissan Sentra. Great offer, free prompt pickup, excellent communication and payment on the spot. I considered both Carvana and Carmax, but neither company would pick up my vehicle. I highly recommend Peddle!

Free pickup and on-the-spot payment are exactly what we want sellers to walk away with. The recommendation means a lot!

Very easy process

Very easy process, would recommend it to anyone. I bought a car from Carmax, and their website said they would take my old car. But it turns out the Ellicott City MD location won’t take your car unless you drive it there and drop it off. So Peddle to the rescue ! Two thumbs up !

Super fast and easy transaction. They came and picked up the car the next day and for a price comparable to Carmax or Carvana.

I had a wonderful experience with Peddle, and will use them when my next car is for sell

I had a wonderful experience with Peddle during the selling of my 2014 Toyota Pruis. Peddle gave me the best $, much better than Carmax, and through a much simple process, no need to upload my personal photos, driver license (2 sides), car registrations, Odometer reading photo and Title image (2 sides).

The only imperfect point is that the 1st local pick-up partner was not reliable (no show on the scheduled pick up day, and did not pick up my call and return my voice mail). The second pick-up partner IAA is much better.

Reply from Peddle

Beating out other offers with a simpler process is a win worth celebrating. The first pickup partner missing the mark isn't the standard we aim for, so we appreciate you noting how the second handoff with IAA went.

Great offers and wonderful service

I have used Peddle before and I would definitely use them again. Overall they give much better offer than Carmax, Carvana and any others who I tried. They are very efficient to communicate and pick up the car. I do recommend them.

Buyer was late and low balled on the price. Car sat on the street for over a day before they picked it up. I recommend selling to carmax or dealership.

Thank you for sharing this. Late pickups aren't the standard we aim for, and we've noted the coordination feedback. On the offer, amounts reflect real-time market data and what local buyers can pay for the vehicle as described.

Best Service with a Smile

This was my first time selling my car. They offered me almost triple the highest offered on carvana or Carmax. They asked for the title, check the car, asked what was wrong with it, then gave me a check and gone! Whole process was about 15 minutes including the quote. 10/10 will sell again

Fifteen minutes from offer to check in hand is exactly the kind of experience we're going for. Thanks for the 10/10, Kristin!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

The whole process was so easy. I liked that it worked with local businesses instead of a national company. There was no charge for pick-up unlike CarMax and Carvana!! The pick-up driver was in contact with an hour and we worked together to find a time that worked for me- in my case the car was picked up the same afternoon!
Highly Recommend!

Same-day pickup and free at that, that's exactly how it should go. Thanks for the recommendation, Diane!

Process easy, price paid higher than others

The process was just as it's marketed. Very smooth. Got twice the offer that my local CarMax offered and didn't have to leave the house. Car picked up within 6 days, check issued.

Fast and quick

Fast and quick. The process couldn't be anymore easier. The quote I got for my vehicle was the same as carmax and more than carvana. I got the quote in the morning, check 5 hours later, and car was picked up the next morning.

1 Million times better than Carmax

I tried to sell my car through Carmax, and it was honestly a nightmare. Everyone I spoke to gave me different information. I set up a pick-up--they were late for the 4 hour window, so I cancelled and googled other options. Peddle came up, they gave me almost double the Carmax offer, plus free pick up--which Carmax charges $199 for. I scheduled my pickup for the next day. The guy who picked up my car was prompt and professional and handed me a check that day. I can't believe how seamless this process was compared to Carmax. Big fan.

Best place to sell a vehicle

Peddle is great and I have used them multiple times to sell vehicles, some completely dead, some working just fine.

Peddle is the easiest to deal with when it comes to unloading a vehicle. Carvana and Carmax had more hoops to jump through for a lower payout.

Peddle is the best player in this space. They pay the highest, and give you the least hassle.

How it should be.

Multiple vehicles sold, some dead and some running, and you keep coming back. That's the highest compliment we could ask for. Thanks for being a repeat seller!

The Mini has moved on !

The process was painless . I would have liked a better offer , but there was no way to counter .
Carmax originally screwed me with a higher offer but then dropped it . It was a little better than yours , but I do not do business with people that screw with me .
In the end I was happy and the pick up was easy ! Thank you

Be ready for additional red tape

After a full evaluation of my information, I accepted a pretty low offer for my old Nissan van since price wasnt a major consideration.
After sending photos of my title, the paid lien contract, and congratulatory letter of the lien payoff from Carmax, they then wanted me to go to Carmax to obtain a notarized document.

For the small amount they were paying, I decided it was easier to just donate the car to a charity that would appreciate it.

Appreciate you sharing this, Charles. Title and lien documentation requirements can vary depending on the state and lender, and we know the extra steps aren't always worth it for every seller. Thanks for giving us a look.
