Left the UAE and your car is still here?
It happens more often than you'd think. A job ends, a visa is cancelled or a family moves home at short notice, and the car stays behind in a building basement, on the street or in a company parking. Months later it's collecting dust, fines and notices, and you're trying to work out how to sell a car in Dubai while living in another country.
We make it simple. You deal with us on WhatsApp from wherever you are, someone you trust in the UAE hands over the car, and we tow it away. Whether it's a scrap car, an accident car or just an old car you no longer need, we'll make an offer.
How selling from outside the UAE works
- Send the details. WhatsApp us the make, model, year, where the car is parked and a few photos. If you can't take photos, tell us where it is.
- Get a fixed price. We reply with an offer, usually within 15 minutes.
- Authorise someone in the UAE. A friend, colleague or relative can act for you. We help you arrange the power of attorney and guide you through the paperwork.
- We collect the car. Our tow truck picks it up from the building, street or parking where it was left.
- Payment. We pay by bank transfer to the owner's account, or to the person you authorise when we collect the car.
Documents you'll usually need
- A copy of the owner's Emirates ID or passport
- The car's registration card (Mulkiya), or a copy if the original is with you abroad
- The car keys, or details of who has them
- An authorisation for the person handing over the car, often a power of attorney
Before you arrange the sale
Bank loan: if the car is still financed, the loan must be cleared and the bank must release the car before it can be sold. Fines: check for traffic or parking fines on the RTA or Dubai Police app. Salik and insurance: once the car is sold, remember to cancel your Salik tag and insurance so nothing keeps running in your name.
We collect from anywhere in the UAE
Your car can be in any of the seven emirates. We regularly collect from building basements in Dubai Marina and JLT, streets in Deira and Sharjah, villa driveways and company parking. See all the areas we cover.
Questions from owners abroad
Can I sell my car in the UAE if I'm outside the country?
Yes. You don't need to fly back. Someone you authorise in the UAE, such as a friend or colleague, can hand over the car and documents. We help with the power of attorney and paperwork, and can transfer the payment to your bank account.
Do I need a power of attorney to sell my car from abroad?
Usually yes. The owner authorises someone in the UAE to hand over the car, and for a sale this is normally done with a power of attorney. We help you arrange it and tell you exactly what's needed for your situation.
My car has been parked in the UAE for months. Will you still buy it?
Yes. We buy cars with dead batteries, flat tyres, expired registration and dust damage. We tow it from where it is parked.
What if there's still a bank loan on the car?
The loan has to be cleared and the bank has to release the car before it can be sold. Contact your bank first; we can buy the car once it's released.
What about traffic fines on the car?
Check the fines on the RTA or Dubai Police app so you know the total. Message us and we'll tell you how they're handled for your sale.
How do I get paid if I'm abroad?
We can pay by bank transfer directly to the owner's account, or pay the person you authorise when we collect the car. Tell us which you prefer when you ask for a price.
