Local information

Selling a car in Zurich: what to know

Zurich has Switzerland's largest international community. Most private car buyers here expect to deal in German, which makes a private sale harder if German isn't your everyday language. With SellCar you deal with one team, in English, from the offer to the payment.

After the sale you keep your number plates. In the canton of Zurich, you return them to the Strassenverkehrsamt (road traffic office), or move them to your next car. The office offers several services online – check its website for the current options.

Your car insurance and vehicle tax continue until the plates are returned. After that, the unused part is usually refunded.
