Pickup day guides

These guides from Instant Cash for Junk Cars follow one day in order: what to sort out before the truck comes, what happens at the curb, how you get paid, and what to do if you can't be there. Read the one for the stop you're at, or the whole timetable.

1. Before the truck

   How to sell your car the same day

   What makes a same-day junk car sale work: asking early, the right paperwork, a reachable car and the owner at the curb.

2. At the curb

   What happens when your junk car is picked up

   The curbside visit in order: the driver's check, the paperwork, payment, signing the title and the tow.

3. Getting paid

   How you get paid for a junk car

   How payment works on pickup day: paid at pickup, what to confirm on the call, and why the title gets signed after you're paid.

4. Not home

   Can someone else release the car for you?

   When the owner can't be at the curb: who can hand over the car, who has to sign, and how to plan it.
