How it works
Get an instant valuation
Simply type in your car's registration above to kickstart the selling process. They’ll provide you with an instant valuation based on their latest sales data.
Profile your vehicle
Follow the simple steps to create a short description for your car. It's crucial to clearly point out any dents or flaws on your car. Otherwise, the dealer might lower their offer when they come to pick it up.
Highest offer and free collection
Motorway will send you their best offer. You're not obligated to sell, but if you decide to proceed, Motorway will set up a collection date for your car (at no cost!) and you will receive payment from the dealer purchasing your car securely to your bank account.
When should I sell my car?
If you've ordered an electric car through The Electric Car Scheme, we strongly recommend to wait until your new car arrives before selling your current one. Things can change until your new car is in your hands, and we don't want you to be without a car. If you choose to sell your current car through Motorway, you can work with the buyer to pick a convenient date and time for them to collect the car after you've agreed on the sale.

It’s quick
No need to wait. Complete your sale quickly, and enjoy free collection. You'll receive payment within a day after your car is picked up.
Are there alternative methods for selling my car?
At The Electric Car Scheme, we care about getting the best for you, so we encourage you to check out different options. You can explore trustworthy services like Autotrader, AA Cars, We Buy Any Car, or Cazoo to sell your car.
Alternatively, you can choose to sell it privately on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, eBay or Gumtree, though it's important to remember that selling privately has less protection in place.
