How do I sell / delete road vehicles?

There are a few ways to sell a road vehicle. You can sell one vehicle at a time, or sell all vehicles in a depot. Either way, vehicles you want to sell need to be inside a depot, so you need to send the vehicle to the depot first.

  1. Click on a road vehicle to open its Road Vehicle window.
  2. Click the Send vehicle to depot button on the right of the window.
    Click on the Send vehicle to depot button to send the vehicle to the nearest depot.
  3. Wait until the road vehicle has arrived at the depot.
  4. Once the vehicle reaches the depot, click on the depot to open the Road Vehicle Depot window. Locate the vehicle in this window.
  5. There are two ways to sell vehicles:
    • Drag the vehicle in the depot to the sell vehicle icon:
      Drag a road vehicle to the first of the three buttons at the right to sell it.
    • Click on the Sell all vehicles button. This sells all vehicles inside the depot.
      Click on the second button to sell all road vehicles inside the depot. You will be asked to confirm you want to sell all the vehicles in the depot.
