Choose where the ask sits
At a glance
From a form that greets visitors inside the hero, to a quieter single-column layout further down the page — every style keeps the number-plate field visible, since that's what tells a visitor at a glance this is a sell-your-car form.
Hero Split
Headline and form share the hero band side by side — the ask is visible before any scrolling.
Best for — paid-traffic landing pages, where intent is already high.
Hero Split — Trimmed
Same split layout, cut to name, email, plate and message so the card's height balances the headline column.
Best for — the same immediate ask, without the hero growing too tall.
Hero Compact
A short, centered hero with the form sitting directly beneath the headline in one tight band.
Best for — pages that want one focused action and minimal scroll.
Below-Hero — Current
A simple hero banner, then the full form alongside a sidebar covering what happens next.
Best for — enquirers who want reassurance and process detail before committing.
Below-Hero — Focused
Hero stays short; a single centered card carries the form with no distractions.
Best for — a calmer, single-column page for less promotional sections.

Common questions
Car dealership contact forms, answered
What should a car dealership enquiry form include?
At minimum a name, email and message field, plus a way to identify the vehicle — either a free-text field or, better, a UK number-plate lookup that fills in the make, model and year automatically. Keep the ask short; anything beyond that (phone, mileage, preferred contact time) should sit behind a progressive-disclosure toggle rather than block the initial submission.
Should a sell-your-car form sit in the hero or below it?
A hero-embedded form suits paid traffic where intent is already high and you want the ask visible before any scrolling. A below-hero placement suits pages that need to build trust first — supporting content, a process explainer, or reassurance that there's no automated lowball offer — before asking for details.
Why keep the number plate field visible on a car sale form?
A styled UK number-plate field is an instant visual cue that a form is about selling a car, even before someone reads the copy. Trimming a form down to save space should cut secondary fields first — the plate lookup is one of the last things to hide.
Does a car dealership need more than one contact form design?
Usually one well-placed enquiry form is enough for a single page, but different pages can call for different layouts — a compact hero form for a paid landing page, a fuller below-hero form with supporting content on the main sell-your-car page, and so on. The layout should match how much convincing a visitor needs before they're ready to hand over details.
