Why Choose Sell My Car Today?

We make selling your car simple, fast, and hassle-free with no hidden fees

Free Collection

We collect from your home, workplace or any address across London and the UK — there is no charge for collection regardless of where you are. You never need to drive to a branch, sit in a queue or arrange drop-off. We come to you at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends.

Guaranteed Sale

We buy cars with high mileage, cosmetic damage, failed MOTs, mechanical faults and outstanding finance. We do not turn vehicles away based on age, condition or model. Whether your car is a 2024 nearly-new or a 2005 high-mileage runabout, you will receive a genuine offer.

Instant Payment

Payment is made by secure bank transfer on the day of collection — before we drive your car away. You will see the funds confirmed in your account before you hand over the keys. There are no delays, no cheques and no waiting three to five business days for funds to clear.

Same Day Service

From the moment you enter your registration to the moment payment clears in your bank, the entire process typically takes less than 24 hours. In many cases, London customers who contact us in the morning have their car collected and payment received the same afternoon.

Best Price Promise

Our valuations are based on live CAP HPI market data, current auction prices and real London demand — not fixed tables that ignore what buyers are actually paying right now. If you have a written quote from another reputable buyer, let us know and we will do our best to match or beat it.

No Admin Fees

The price we quote is the price we pay — with no administration fees, no listing charges, no deductions for minor wear and tear and no last-minute price drops on arrival. Unlike some national car-buying services, we do not revise our offer downward at inspection unless there is a significant undisclosed issue.

How It Works

Sell your car in 3 simple steps - it takes less than 24 hours

01

Enter Your Details

That is all we need to begin. We use your registration number to retrieve your vehicle's make, model, year, engine size and trim level automatically — you do not need to fill in lengthy forms or provide personal details to see your initial valuation.

02

Get Your Valuation

Your valuation reflects what your specific car is actually worth in today's market, not a generic estimate. A member of our team will then contact you directly — by phone or WhatsApp — to confirm the offer and answer any questions. You are under no obligation to accept and your quote is valid for seven days.

03

Sold & Paid

We arrange a collection time that works for you — including same-day appointments across London and next-day UK-wide. Our team carries out a brief, professional inspection, we agree the final price, and you confirm payment has arrived in your bank account before we leave. We also handle the DVLA notification on your behalf.

What Our Customers Say

Six latest Google reviews from customers who sold their car with us.

"Contacted, quoted, and sold all in the space of hours! TJ and his team were amazing from start to finish. I reached out to TJ early in the afternoon and expressed to him that I was looking to sell my car and wanted a quick and easy process. He walked me through everything and assured me that it would be swift. After the initial phone call, TJ provided me with a tentative quote. Shortly following, he sent members of his team to complete the inspection – they were very kind and polite. TJ and I renegotiated and came to a fair and final price that we were both happy with. As he promised, everything was swift and seamless; TJ instantly transferred the funds and assisted me with notifying DLVA of the sale. Overall, TJ and his team have been nothing short of helpful, consistent, honest and quick. This level of customer service and authenticity is hard to come by; they have gained a loyal customer!"

"What a relief to find Sell My Car Today after struggles with several of the big names! Communication was immediate, on WhatsApp, straight through to TJ who was really helpful. You can upload photos on WhatsApp - after hours trying to use other companies apps without success, this was so easy. We agreed a fair price and drivers came to pick the car up that evening. TJ kept me informed throughout. Brilliant service - kind, personal. Made the experience easy and as pleasant as possible."

Any car considered

Any Car, Any Condition — We Buy Them All

At Sell My Car Today, we do not have a list of cars we will not buy. We purchase vehicles in every condition, at every mileage, regardless of age or history. Here is what that means in practice.

We buy cars with:

Outstanding finance — we settle the balance directly and pay you the equity

Failed or expired MOT — condition is priced into the valuation, not used as a reason to decline

Mechanical problems — from minor faults to major failures, we make an offer

Cosmetic damage — scratches, dents and scuffs will not stop us buying your car

No service history — we buy cars with partial or no service history

No V5 logbook — contact us to discuss your situation and we will advise on next steps

SORN status — statutory off-road notifications are not a barrier to sale

High mileage — we buy cars with 100,000, 150,000 or 200,000+ miles on the clock

Whether your car is in perfect condition with a full service history or has been sitting on the driveway for six months with a flat battery, enter your registration below and we will tell you what it is worth.

London-wide collection

Selling Your Car in London — We Cover Every Postcode

Sell My Car Today is based in East London at Church Rd, E10 7JQ, which means we can collect your car faster than any national car-buying service operating from outside the capital.

We offer free home collection across all 32 London boroughs, including:

North London

Barnet, Enfield, Haringey, Islington, Camden, Hackney

East London

Tower Hamlets, Newham, Waltham Forest, Redbridge, Barking and Dagenham, Havering

South London

Bromley, Croydon, Lewisham, Greenwich, Southwark, Lambeth, Merton, Sutton, Wandsworth

West London

Ealing, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Richmond upon Thames, Kingston upon Thames

Central London

City of London, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, Brent, Harrow

We also collect across the wider South East, including Dartford, Gravesend, Sevenoaks, Maidstone and surrounding areas in Kent and Essex. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, call us on 03337 729 283 or message us on WhatsApp — we almost certainly do.

Selling your car in London comes with specific considerations that national buyers do not always understand. ULEZ-affected vehicles, high-mileage city cars, ex-fleet vehicles and cars with congestion charge history all have a specific London resale market. Our team understands this market because we operate within it every day.

Safer than selling privately

Why London Drivers Choose Us Over a Private Sale

Selling your car privately sounds straightforward until the reality sets in. You spend time writing a listing, fielding calls from buyers who do not turn up, arranging viewings with strangers at your home, haggling over price and then waiting for a bank transfer that may or may not arrive.

For most London drivers, the maths is simple. The extra few hundred pounds a private sale might achieve — if everything goes perfectly — rarely justifies the weeks of waiting, the security risk of unknown buyers at your address, or the paperwork. With Sell My Car Today, you agree a fair price, we collect, and payment is in your bank the same day.
