While unable to release it theatrically, Rollin made a failed attempt to sell it to the television market, before it was eventually made available for a direct-to-video release. Due to its moderate success, particularly among Rollin fans, the film was released to international audiences several years later including its first-ever DVD release and television broadcast in the UK in October 2006. Home media Killing Car was released in France on DVD as part of the Jean Rollin collection from LCJ Editions on 15 November 2004.
