How Do Car Trade-Ins Work?
When you are looking to buy a car, you might consider trading in your current vehicle.
Trading in your car with Enterprise is a simple process.
Be a smart shopper. Be prepared.
- Have an idea what your car is worth. Use our online car valuation tool to determine your car’s estimated Kelley Blue Book® trade-in value .
