Tow Away Your Car for Cash in Edmonton
Some cars technically run but still can't be driven anywhere. The registration expired, the insurance was cancelled, it failed an inspection, or the brakes just aren't safe. Selling a car like that privately is tricky because buyers can't test drive it and you can't deliver it. We solve that by buying it and towing it away, no plates or insurance required.

Cars That Need to Be Towed, Not Driven
Expired registration
Driving an unregistered vehicle on Alberta roads isn't allowed. Re-registering just to sell it means paying registration fees and getting insurance first. Selling to a buyer who tows is simpler.
No insurance
If you've cancelled the insurance because the car's been parked, you can't legally drive it to a buyer or a yard.
Failed an inspection
Cars bought from out of province, or salvage vehicles, need to pass an inspection before they can be registered. If yours failed and the repairs aren't worth it, sell it as-is.
Unsafe to drive
Brakes metal-on-metal, a suspension part about to give out, a cracked windshield across the driver's view, or a rusted-through floor. Even if it runs, it shouldn't be on the Henday.
No driver available
The owner doesn't have a licence anymore, or nobody in the household can drive it.
Why Tow-Away Cars Are Hard to Sell Privately
We price the car for what it is. If it runs well and only needs plates and insurance, it can be worth more than a dead car, and we'll pay for that.
- Buyers can't test drive them
- You'd need a temporary permit or a tow to deliver one
- Most private buyers want something they can drive home
- Explaining why it can't be driven makes buyers suspicious
How It Works
You'll need ownership proof (even an expired registration usually works) and your photo ID.
- Call with the details, including why it can't be driven
- Get a firm offer
- We send a flatbed to wherever it's parked
- Bill of sale signed, you're paid, car loaded
FAQs
Do I need to re-register the car to sell it?+
No. You need to prove ownership, but the car doesn't need current registration or insurance for us to buy it.
The car runs. Does that help the price?+
Yes. A running car is usually worth more than a non-running one.
Can you tow it from a street where it's been ticketed?+
Yes, and sooner is better before it gets towed to impound.
