No. Our service is completely free of charge. You can also sell a damaged or non-running car with us.

After you receive your final sale price, you book a drop-off appointment at one of our nearby branches. On site, one of our experts confirms your vehicle details, we prepare the purchase contract, and the sale is completed with your signature. Your car stays at our branch, we transfer your money, and we deregister the vehicle for you free of charge.

After the online assessment, you receive your final sale price by email. In the same email, we send you a link to book your drop-off appointment directly on our website.

You come to your booked appointment at one of our branches. Our team verifies your information, we finalize the purchase contract, and transfer the sale amount. We then handle deregistration and send you the deregistration confirmation.

After the sale, we transfer the agreed amount to your bank account quickly and securely. This gives you a reliable and safe payout process. Cash payments are not available for security and operational reasons.

If you still have questions, you can find more answers in our FAQ section. You can also read customer insights and practical guides in our blog.
