Before you get started, it’s good to be aware that there are a number of ways to sell your car in Dubai. You can sell your vehicle privately, trade in your car to a dealer or sell your car to a company. Below, we’ve got all the information you need, plus the pros and cons for all three methods of selling your used car in Dubai.
The UAE is one of the most versatile car markets in the world, and it has the largest variation in car buying styles.

Many dealers offer a trade-in or part-exchange price where you can sell your car faster. If you trade-in your car, you might get slightly less than on the open market, due to the work the dealer will put in to reselling your car, but you will have a guaranteed sale without advertising. Be aware, as there are many websites promising high prices but they can come with a commission attached.
You can do this in just 20 mins at the RTA. Find your nearest RTA service centre. The service fees and details are here as well.

Laws for selling your car in the UAE
Most cars, probably around 80% in the UAE are GCC specs. However, some are imports from Europe, US, Japan, etc. The best way to find out is on the original ownership documents or if those are not available - tell-tale signs are Arabic text on car parts such as the wing mirrors, etc.
Are you leaving the UAE for good and haven’t sold your car yet? Or were you not able to sell it while you were residing in the Emirates? A vehicle Power of Attorney (POA) is mandatory in the UAE if you are not able to be present when selling your car. It is not currently possible to sell your car on our website if the car is not within the UAE. However, if you own a car that is currently in the UAE, you can sell it if you are abroad.
