Selling the car you commute in
- Get the number. The form takes two minutes.
- Book a slot around the train. There are early, evening and weekend slots, so pickup can wait for the weekend or catch you before the morning train. The titled owner needs to be there for the signatures and the payment.
Where we pick up around Martinsburg

Paying a downtown meter by app? Type the plate exactly. The city won't void a ticket issued over a wrong plate number (Parking Division).
If MARC takes over the commute
MARC's Brunswick Line reaches Martinsburg at 229 East Martin Street, where MARC lists 81 parking spaces and connecting EPTA Blue and Red bus schedules (MARC station listing). The city owns the Caperton Train Station and its lot, and sells commuter permits for the lot at $20 a month or $2 a weekday. If the lot is full, you get a permit for the green-top meters instead, unless you ask otherwise (Parking Division).
Cash for your car in Martinsburg
Inside city limits, Martinsburg's Code Enforcement takes reports on property. A confirmed violation brings a notice to fix it by a set date, or a possible summons to municipal court (Code Enforcement).
In the city or out in the county, a wrecked, unlicensed or worn-out car still qualifies for a cash offer, and pickup comes to wherever it's parked, running or not. For junk cars in Martinsburg, see our junk car page too.
If years of commuting have left the engine knocking or the transmission stuck in limp mode, selling a car with a knocking engine and selling a car with a transmission in limp mode explain what that sale involves. A car that's been wrecked is covered in selling an accident-damaged car.
Car still titled in Maryland or Virginia?
The Martinsburg Police Department's area guide puts Hagerstown about 21 miles away and Winchester about 25 (MPD area information). Berkeley County's own flyer asks, "Have you registered your vehicle in West Virginia?" (Berkeley County flyer). If your car still carries another state's title, read our guide to selling a car with an out-of-state title first. Pickup happens at the car, so working in Maryland or Virginia doesn't change where the sale takes place.

Asked by Martinsburg sellers
Is the Martinsburg DMV office open on Saturday?
The WV DMV's Martinsburg regional office keeps Saturday hours, 8 a.m. to noon, and is open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. Walk in, or call 304-558-3900 to book a time.
Berkeley County billed me for a car I sold last year. Is that right?
It can be. The Assessor's Office says each July's bill is based on what you owned on July 1 of the year before. A car you owned on that date stays on the bill, even if you sold or traded it later. The tax is due to the Sheriff by April 30. Questions go to the Assessor's Office at 400 West Stephen Street, Suite 106, or 304-264-1904.
Can I still pay a Martinsburg parking ticket after the car is gone?
You need the ticket or the plate number of the ticketed car. The Parking Division takes payment online, by phone at 304-660-3088, by mail, or on the third floor of 125 W. Race Street, weekdays 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
