How to Sell Your Car in Dubai

/in /by

It can be quite arduous to sell your car in Dubai. Luckily, you don’t have to do everything yourself. Actually, you don’t have to do much at all if you go to the right place. Selling a car can take several days of running around or thirty minutes of waiting. Let’s go over these two options in more detail.

How to Sell Your Car in Dubai by Yourself

The process of selling a car has many steps. It includes finding a trustworthy buyer, doing checkups on the vehicle and lots of paperwork.

Advertising

The first step is to advertise so that you find a buyer. Don’t hang a sign on the car window. It’s illegal, and it will get your car impounded.

Also, asking around in real life, on social media and forums is not smart. You risk running into scammers. These incidents are all too common, unfortunately.

Thus, the only options left are buying expensive ads or exchanging your vehicle at a dealer. Either way, you are losing money because the dealer will probably offer you a lousy price. These are your options if you want to sell your car in Dubai on your own.

Selling

Once you found someone who wants to buy your car, you can’t just hand over the keys, take the money and be on your way.

 

You need to meet the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) requirements. Here’s a quick rundown:

  • Make sure you’re clear of any outstanding finance. Contact your bank to inform the RTA about this. The RTA will send you a confirmation text message in a day or two.
  • Have an RTA test performed on your car. It costs 120 AED, and the certificate you get will be valid for thirty days.
  • Together with the buyer, go to any RTA Testing Centre (like Eppco-Tasjeel) and fill out a transfer form.
  • You need to have all your documents such as IDs, driving license and car test certificate in original plus copies. You get the new registration card and hand it over, together with the car and keys, for the agreed sum.
  • Present your insurance company with proof of the sale. You will then be able to get a refund for the remaining insurance or transfer it to the new owner.

Doing all this can potentially take weeks. Any error in the paperwork or unexpected setback can eat up even more of your time.

However, that’s not the only way to sell your car in Dubai.
