Helpful guides for selling your car
All guidesYour questions, answered
All questions and answersDo you offer support in English?
Yes. Every email, message and phone call is in English, from your first question to the handover. When a Dutch document is involved, we tell you what it is and what to do with it.
What paperwork do I need to sell my car?
You need your registration card (kentekencard), both parts of the registration code (tenaamstellingscode), a valid passport or ID card and all the car keys. If the car still has the old paper registration from before 2014, bring that instead of the card. We take care of the RDW transfer, and you receive the proof of transfer (vrijwaringsbewijs), which shows the car is no longer in your name.
Do you buy cars with damage or high mileage?
We do. Tell us about the damage or the mileage and we take it into account in the offer.
How does the handover work?
We agree a time and place with you. We check the car together and transfer it out of your name at the RDW on the spot. You are paid at the handover, and you receive the proof of transfer (vrijwaringsbewijs) the same day.
How do I receive and review my offer?
You receive an email with a link to your own offer page. That page shows the amount and lets you accept it, decline it or suggest an amount of your own. Take your time. There is no obligation.
