How to Prepare Your Vehicle for Pickup

A simple checklist for preparing an unwanted vehicle for pickup.

Updated August 4, 20261 min read

Remove personal belongings

Check the glove box, trunk, under seats and storage compartments.

Prepare access

Unlock gates and disclose low-clearance garages, narrow alleys or locked wheels.

Gather documents and keys

Have identification, ownership documents and keys ready.

Use this guide with your exact vehicle details

General articles can explain the process, but the result for a specific vehicle depends on its VIN, mileage, title, keys, operating condition, missing components, damage, location and towing access. Avoid relying on a generic online value alone when the vehicle has major mechanical or structural problems.
