LightSpeedBid fully supports no-contact pickup and off-site pickup, which means you do not need to be present when the tow driver arrives. Sellers often search for can my junk car be picked up without me, do I need to be there for towing, or sell car without meeting the tow driver, and LightSpeedBid’s system is designed to make this possible whenever allowed by state law.
You can arrange for pickup without being home under these conditions:
- The vehicle is accessible to the tow truck
- The title is pre-signed (if required in your state)
- Keys are left in a secure, agreed-upon location
- You give the driver clear instructions for entry
- The property owner authorizes access
- You confirm all paperwork in advance
Many sellers are at work, traveling, sick, or handling other responsibilities. LightSpeedBid supports fully remote pickup for these reasons.
Ways to prepare for an off-site tow include:
- Leaving keys in the glove box or a designated hiding spot
- Giving gate codes or door codes to the driver
- Leaving the title with a trusted person
- Contacting the mechanic or property manager to release the car for you
- Providing detailed location instructions
- Leaving the car in an open, easily accessible driveway or lot
For sellers with tight schedules, off-site pickup is often the fastest way to complete the transaction.
In some states, the seller must be physically present to sign the title in front of the tow partner. LightSpeedBid will inform you if your state requires this. If presence is mandatory, the pickup can be timed around your availability, including weekends or evenings.
If you are unavailable at the scheduled time unexpectedly, the driver can reschedule for a later time the same day or the next day. You will not lose your offer, and there is no penalty for needing a flexible schedule.
LightSpeedBid is built for convenience, and being present is optional in most situations.
