Getting a paper copy of an electronic title in Volusia
- Request it online. Volusia lets you request an electronic title online and pick it up in any branch (Volusia County Tax Collector).
- Collect it at a branch near you. In and around Daytona Beach, that's Holsonback Dr. or the South Daytona one-stop shop on S Ridgewood Avenue (branch list).
Where we pick up around Daytona Beach
The pickup is free in Daytona Beach and the rest of Volusia County, Holly Hill and South Daytona included. A car stuck in a side yard or behind the house is fine; say where it is when you book, and whether a truck can reach it from the street.
Beat the 4 p.m. cutoff. Volusia's tax collector branches stay open until 4:30, but no title work is completed after 4 p.m. (Volusia County Tax Collector), so a late-afternoon trip to Holsonback Dr. for a title should start early.
Cash for your car in Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach Code Compliance says on its own page that most of the complaints it receives are about high weeds or grass and junk vehicles left abandoned in yards (City of Daytona Beach). The same page asks residents to keep their properties up by removing all junk vehicles in a timely manner (Code Compliance). It doesn't give a deadline in days; "timely" is its word.
If yours has been parked for good beside the house, that's the car our junk car offer is for: quoted in whatever shape it's in, with the free pickup taking it out of the yard. Flat tires or a battery that died while it sat are fine; mention them when you book.
Wondering what a car like that brings? What a junk car is worth explains what goes into the number.
When Ian's floodwater stalled cars across Volusia County
During Hurricane Ian's flooding in 2022, a family-owned tow company in Holly Hill told FOX 35 it had towed 168 cars, up from a usual 30 or so, in a report published Oct. 3, 2022 (FOX 35 Orlando).
If your car stalled in that water and has sat since, you can still ask for an offer on it. On the form, say where the water reached on the car and whether it has run since; that tells our buying partner what it is quoting.
An insurance claim changes the picture, so mention one if there was one, and see our guide to selling a flood-damaged car for how it fits in.
