Question 1

How is my car's price calculated?

Accepted Answer

We combine real-time Swiss market data, the details you share (model, year, mileage, condition) and demand from our buyer network to give you a fair, instant estimation.

Question 2

Is the online estimation final?

Accepted Answer

It's a free, accurate estimation based on what you tell us. The final offer is confirmed after a quick inspection at one of our centers, usually within minutes.

Question 3

Does it cost anything to get a price?

Accepted Answer

No. The estimation, the inspection and the drop-off are 100% free, with no obligation to sell.

Question 4

How does the drop-off work?

Accepted Answer

After your estimation, you book a free 1 hour slot at the carease center of your choice. We inspect the car, confirm the offer and, if you accept, take care of everything from there.

Question 5

Where are your centers?

Accepted Answer

We're rolling out across Switzerland. You can see all current locations on the homepage under "Centers".

Question 6

How long does the inspection take?

Accepted Answer

About 1 hour. You can wait on-site or come back later.

Question 7

When and how do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Once we receive the payment from the buyer, we transfer the funds to your bank account within 5 days.

Question 8

Do I need to deregister my car before drop-off?

Accepted Answer

However you prefer. The car must arrive still registered so you can legally drive it in, but once on site you can unscrew your plates and take them home, or leave them with us and deregister later when the car is sold.

Question 9

Who handles the sales paperwork?

Accepted Answer

We do. We prepare the sales contract and manage the transfer of ownership with the buyer. The only thing we can't do is deregister the car, as by Swiss law only the owner can do that.

Question 10

What documents do I need to bring?

Accepted Answer

Your ID, the vehicle registration (Fahrzeugausweis), service booklet if available, and both sets of keys.

Question 11

Who buys my car?

Accepted Answer

Our network of vetted Swiss buyers, both professional dealers and private individuals. We negotiate on your behalf so you get the best price without the hassle.

Question 12

What if I change my mind?

Accepted Answer

No problem. There's no obligation until you sign and accept the final offer.
