Sell My Car Online in Canada
Selling a car online in Canada shouldn't mean uploading your VIN into a black box and waiting for a lowball email. Kamocars is a real Alberta-based business — you talk to a person, you get a firm written offer in writing, and you're paid within 24 hours of accepting. No auction-style bidding, no dealer trade-in games, no Kijiji tire-kickers showing up at your door.
Why sellers across Canada are moving away from the big online buyers
The national online-only buyers (Clutch, Canada Drives, Cardoor, Carnex) all run the same playbook: a quick online estimate, a follow-up offer that's often lower than the estimate, and a take-it-or-leave-it pickup window. Their pricing is anchored to wholesale-minus margins built for a national logistics network.
Kamocars is the opposite model — Alberta-focused, human-reviewed, and built around speed. Because we buy locally and resell into the strong Alberta truck/SUV market, we can pay closer to what a private buyer would pay, without you doing any of the work.
What we buy (and don't)
Kamocars specializes in 2018-and-newer cars, trucks and SUVs in good running condition. We pay top dollar for popular Alberta segments: F-150, Silverado, RAM 1500, Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, RAV4, CR-V, Highlander, Pilot, Telluride, Model Y, Model 3, and most luxury European SUVs.
We don't currently buy damaged, salvage-title, or non-running vehicles. If your car is 2018+ and starts and drives, we want to make you an offer today.
How selling online with Kamocars actually works
1. Get an instant value range from the free Kamocars car value tool — no email required. 2. Send a few photos and your VIN; we send back a firm written offer, usually within a couple of hours. 3. We pick the car up free anywhere in Alberta and you're paid by Interac e-Transfer or bank draft on pickup — almost always within 24 hours of accepting.
Outside Alberta? We still buy select 2018+ trucks and SUVs from neighbouring provinces (BC, SK) on a case-by-case basis — contact us with your vehicle details.
The Kamocars difference vs the national online buyers
Real humans, not a chatbot: every offer is reviewed by a Kamocars buyer who actually knows the Alberta market — not an algorithm trained on US data.
Firm offers, not estimates that change: the number we send in writing is the number you get paid. No surprise inspection deductions at pickup.
Paid in 24 hours: most national online buyers take 3–7 business days to send funds. We pay on pickup.
Alberta truck premium: because we resell into the strongest truck market in Canada, we routinely beat national offers on F-150, Silverado, RAM, Tundra and Tacoma by $1,000–$3,000.
Common questions
Is selling a car online in Canada safe?
Yes, if you use a registered business with a verifiable address, real reviews, and a written offer. Kamocars is an Alberta-registered business, you'll speak to a real person, and every offer is delivered in writing before pickup. Avoid 'buyers' who can only meet in cash, refuse pickup at your home, or ship you a cheque before pickup.
How is Kamocars different from Clutch, Canada Drives, Cardoor, or Carnex?
Those are national online-only buyers optimized for nationwide logistics. Kamocars is Alberta-focused — we buy locally, resell into the Alberta truck/SUV market, and pay in 24 hours. Because we don't carry the same overhead, our offers on 2018+ trucks and SUVs in Alberta are typically the most competitive.
Do you buy cars outside Alberta?
Our core market is Alberta. We will consider 2018+ trucks and SUVs from BC and Saskatchewan on a case-by-case basis. Contact us with the year, make, model, trim, kilometres and your city.
How fast can I actually get paid?
Most Kamocars sellers go from first contact to payment in under 24 hours: free pickup the same or next day, payment by e-Transfer or bank draft handed to you on pickup.
What if my car is financed or leased?
Not a problem. Kamocars regularly buys financed and leased vehicles. We pay out the lender directly and send you the remaining equity — usually all wrapped up the same day as pickup.
