Dealers: Sell your used cars - list them on CarCast®, now!

It’s easy to get your stock listed on CarCast®!

The easiest way to list your used car stock on CarCast is to have your data provider send us a feed on a regular basis. We can accept virtually any text-based file, and some XML formats. CarCast’s vehicle data management system is currently capable of receiving and processing files from the following organisations:

  • Experian Automotive
  • AutoLocate
  • Motortrak
  • 2nd Byte
  • Portfolio Europe

If your provider is listed above, contact a CarCast account manager, and we will work with you and your data provider to arrange to get your vehicles listed on CarCast as soon as possible.

Even if your provider is not shown, we may still be able to help - get in touch with us. We are working with a number of other providers to make listing your vehicles on CarCast as simple as ticking a box. Keep checking this page for more information on new partners and providers who can send your vehicles to CarCast.

What’s the difference?

We understand that different types of user require different levels of service. To that end, our dealer services offerings are offered over four tiers:

  • Independent Dealers
  • Car Supermarkets
  • Franchise Dealers
  • Dealer Groups

Each tier provides different levels of access to different services - more information is available from your CarCast account manager, but some of the features are outlined below:
