Three Steps to Your Cash
You get an offer within 24 hours, the inspection takes about 20–30 minutes, and you can be paid the same day.
Tell Us About Your Car
Enter your car's make, model, year and mileage in our free online form. Takes less than 2 minutes.
Get Your Free Offer
We calculate a fair market value from real Swiss market data and send you a no-obligation offer within 24 hours.
Get Paid & Relax
After a free inspection, accept the final offer, hand over the keys and get paid. We take care of the change of ownership.
Step 1
Tell Us About Your Car
Start by entering a few basic details about your vehicle in our free online form. There is no account to create and no obligation — this is simply the starting point of your valuation.
We ask for the essential details only, so you can complete this step in under 2 minutes:
- Make — e.g. Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz
- Model — e.g. A4, 320i, C-Class
- First registration — the year your car was first registered
- Mileage — approximate kilometres on the odometer
- Condition — any damage, accidents, or issues
Don't worry if your car is old, damaged, or unusual — we buy any car, regardless of make, model, year or condition.
Just the basics
No registration, no commitment — just a few details to get started.
Fair market pricing
Based on real Swiss market data — not guesswork.
Step 2
Get Your Free Offer
Once we have your car details, we calculate a fair market value based on real data from the Swiss used-car market. You receive a clear, no-obligation offer — completely free of charge.
Our valuation takes into account:
- Current Swiss market prices for your make and model
- Age, mileage and service history
- Overall condition, including any damage
- Regional demand here in Switzerland
You are under no pressure to accept. If the offer is not right for you, you can walk away at any time — no fees, no questions asked.
Step 3
Get Paid & Relax
When you accept our offer, we arrange a convenient appointment — either at our Geneva office or at your home. Our team inspects the car, confirms the offer, and you get paid on the spot.
Here's what happens next:
- Free inspection — at our office or your home, whatever is easier for you
- Payment your way — cash on the spot, or bank transfer (usually 2–3 business days)
- We handle the paperwork — the sales contract and the change of ownership
- No hidden fees — the price we agree is the amount you receive
The inspection and handover take about 20–30 minutes. You keep your number plates: move them to your next car or return them to your cantonal road traffic office, which also stops your insurance and vehicle tax.
Cash in hand
Cash on the spot, or bank transfer within 2–3 business days.
Before You Start
What You'll Need
To make the process as smooth as possible, have these documents ready. Don't worry if something is missing — we can often still help.
Vehicle registration document
The "Fahrzeugausweis" / "permis de circulation" — proof that you own the car.
Your ID or passport
A valid Swiss ID, residence permit, or passport for the transfer.
All car keys
Every key you have for the vehicle — including spare keys.
Service history (if available)
Service book, maintenance records, or receipts — helps us offer the best price.
Winter / summer tyres
If you have a second set of tyres, bring them along — they add value.
Any accident or damage reports
If the car has been in an accident, having the reports ready speeds things up.

Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before selling your car with SellCar.
Is the valuation really free?
Yes — 100% free. There are no hidden fees, no transaction fees, and no evaluation fees. The price we agree after the inspection is the amount you receive.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. Our offer is completely non-binding. You can take your time to think about it, compare with other buyers, or simply decline — no questions asked, no cost.
How fast will I get my money?
If you choose cash, you are paid on the spot as soon as the sales contract is signed. A bank transfer usually arrives within 2–3 business days.
Do you buy cars with damage or high mileage?
Absolutely. We buy any car regardless of make, model, year, mileage, or condition — including damaged, non-running, and accident cars. There is no car we won't consider.
Who handles the paperwork and transfer?
We prepare the sales contract and take care of the change of ownership. Swiss number plates belong to you, not to the car, so you keep them: move them to your next car or return them to your cantonal road traffic office, which also stops your insurance and vehicle tax. We explain every step when you sell.
Can you pick up my car from my home?
Yes. We offer free pick-up across Switzerland. If your car isn't driveable, tell us when you request your offer and we will arrange collection.
Do I need a Swiss residence permit to sell?
You need to be the registered owner of the vehicle and be able to prove your identity. This can be done with a Swiss ID, a residence permit, or a valid passport. Our team will guide you through the exact requirements during the process.
