All Motorway customers now have the opportunity to split £100 in Amazon.co.uk Gift Cards with our new refer a friend scheme here. This reward level applies to all referrals where a car is successfully sold and collected.

Every time a customer refers a friend, who completes the sale of their car with Motorway, they will each get an Amazon.co.uk Gift Card as a reward – worth £50 each. It pays to be a Motorway customer!

To learn more about how our rewards scheme works and how to refer your friends, read on.

• How do I refer my friends?
• Where is my referral link?
• Do I need to have sold my car with Motorway to start referring friends?
• How can I distribute my referral code?
• When do I get sent my referral reward?
• How do I know I’ve received my reward?
• Can I add a referral after I’ve sold my car?
• Can I use the referral scheme if I’ve already sold a car with Motorway?
• Is there a limit to the number of people I can refer?

How do I refer my friends?

All Motorway customers can become referrers – you don’t even need to have sold your car with us! Simply sign up on our refer a friend page, powered by Mention Me, and you’ll be able to share a unique referral link with your friends.

Remember – your friends have to sign up through your link before they start selling their car. We can only give you both your referral reward if they’ve taken this first step, otherwise we won’t be able to track the referral. 

Want to know more? Read on!

Where is my referral link?

You can sign up to get your link by visiting motorway.co.uk/refer.

Do I need to have sold my car with Motorway to start referring friends?

No, you don’t need to have sold your car with Motorway to take part in our referral scheme. To start referring your friends, sign up at motorway.co.uk/refer.

How can I distribute my referral code?

When you sign up to be a Motorway referrer, you’ll have the option to share your code directly with your social media accounts, email, SMS, or Whatsapp. You will also be emailed the link, so you can forward it to whoever you like.

For your friends to be eligible, they need to have not sold a car with Motorway within the last twelve months, they need to follow the link prior to selling their car with Motorway, and they need to complete the sale of their car, with their car collected by the dealer. 

When do I get sent my referral reward?

Both you and your referred friend will receive your £50 Amazon.co.uk Gift Cards once your friend has completed the sale of their car, with their car collected by the dealer. If you are both eligible for our referral program, and used the referral link, you will both get your Amazon.co.uk Gift Cards over email within seven days of completion of the sale. 

How do I know I’ve received my reward?

You and your friend will each receive an email from us with your £50 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card and instructions for adding it to your Amazon account.

Can I add a referral after I’ve sold my car?

You can’t retrospectively use a referral link; in order to be eligible for our refer-a-friend scheme, you must share the link with your friends before they start to sell their car with Motorway. Equally, if you’re the one who’s been referred, you’re ineligible for the scheme if you’ve sold a car with Motorway in the last twelve months.

Can I use the referral scheme if I’ve already sold a car with Motorway?

Motorway customers can refer friends at any time.

However, the friends you refer to Motorway are ineligible for our scheme if they have sold their car with Motorway in the last twelve months. 

Is there a limit to the number of people I can refer?

Nope! Please spread the word – we would be delighted to help all of your friends and family sell their cars.

All referrals that end in the completion of a car sale, with the car collected and paid for by the purchasing dealer, are valid and will be rewarded with £50 in Amazon.co.uk Gift Cards for both the referrer and their friend.

●    Two thirds (69%) of adults would be willing to sell their car for less than it’s worth if doing so made the process more straight-forward

●    Of those who sold their car, over half (54%) believe they sold it for less than it was worth, an average of £977 under valuation

●    70% of Brits feel they need to compromise on either time or money when selling their car reveals online used-car marketplace Motorway

Research commissioned by online used-car marketplace Motorway has shown that despite prices for used cars reaching record highs, three quarters (76%) of Brits find the process of selling their car daunting and seven out of ten (70%) are knowingly compromising on cash for a quick sale.

With a third (32%) of us saying we don’t have the time to find the best price and one in four (28%) of us accepting the first offer for our car, it’s clear that we’re not getting the best value when it comes to selling our motors. In fact, almost nine out of ten (85%) admit the priority when selling a car is simply to get rid of it as quickly as possible, leading to an average loss of almost a thousand pounds (£977) when selling.

As time is of the essence for sellers, almost half (49%) are likely to have lost money when selling their car because they didn’t do simple things like buying new floor mats, changing the oil and making small repairs. Other common oversights and issues among everyone polled include not having an up-to-date service history (14%), not having their car valued before sale (12%), and struggling with paperwork (10%).

Seven in 10 drivers admitted putting off selling their car because of the hassle, and 76% said they found the process of selling their car daunting. It also emerged over two thirds (69%) have felt out of depth when selling their vehicle with 64% ending up feeling ripped off. The biggest desires when selling were getting the highest price, a speedy sale and minimising the effort required.

When selling their car, only 14% felt very confident they got a good price, with an acceptance by 69% that they would be willing to take an offer less than market value in order to make the process easier. 62% admit they regret rushing to sell cars in the past because they received less money for them as a result.

Motorway’s extensive network of over 7,500 verified dealers means motorists don’t have to compromise on time, price or convenience when selling their cars and, since the process is online, they can do so from the comfort of their own homes.

A spokesperson for online used-car marketplace Motorway, which commissioned the research, said: “Selling your vehicle can be a headache for many, particularly if you don’t feel confident or knowledgeable about cars, but there is an easy and simple way to sell your car online for a good price. At Motorway, our extensive dealer network matches each seller with the dealer willing to pay the most, in as little as 24 hours and free of charge, taking the hassle out of selling.”

Jodie Kidd, automotive enthusiast, commented: “Although now is a good time to take advantage of high used car prices, selling a car yourself can seem like a daunting prospect and ultimately, it can be difficult to know if you’re getting a fair price. Thankfully, Motorway has made the process as quick and simple as possible, without having to compromise on time or money. And you can do it from the comfort of your sofa, cup of tea in hand.”

Notes to editors

Research carried out in April 2022 by OnePoll with a sample of 2,000 British adults aged 18+ who had sold their car in the last five years.

In the survey of 2000 UK adults aged 18+ who have sold their car in the last five years, on average 54 per cent of respondents sold their car for less than they believe it’s worth, averaging at £977 under the market value. £977 * 7.5 million (2021 UK used car transactions, SMMT) = £7.3275 billion, potential to be lost
