How it works.
Good to know.
Comprehensive insurance?

 

Then your insurance will take care of everything. All you have to do is notify them of the damage. Your insurance company will appoint an expert who then inspects your vehicle and writes down the damage. The expert uploads all details to the AUTOonline online exchange. Professional vehicles buyers from all over the UK submit bids for your vehicle. And within 24 hours you will receive the best value for your vehicle. A binding offer that you can either accept of reject. And best of all: AUTOonline guarantees collection, right from your front door, without charging you a penny.

 

First-party damage?


All private individuals have the option of selling their accident vehicles via AUTOonline. Just keep the main facts on your vehicle ready and upload them together with good digital photographs to the AUTOonline exchange. And here, too, you will receive the best bids for your vehicle within 24 hours. Everything from the comfort of your home. And in this case, too, the vehicle will be collected from your front door after you have sold it. As an ADAC member you also save an additional 15% , because AUTOonline is an ADAC benefits partner.

 

 

Before you start it would be useful to prepare a few things:

  • Have you vehicle documents ready.
  • Describe the vehicle including all the damage as precisely as possible. The dealers bidding for your vehicle need a good overview so they can submit a good bid. Our checklist, which you can download on the right, offers you some help.
  • Take meaningful photographs of your vehicle (outside, inside and of course a close up of the damage) and save those as JPEG files. When advertising by post we will scan the photographs for you.
  • If you are an ADAC member, please have your membership number ready.
  • If you have all the paperwork ready, enter the details online or fill in our form and return it to us by post.
  • After expiry of the advertising period you will receive binding purchase offers from our national network of screened professional buyers.
  • Now you can decide for yourself whether you want to sell your vehicle to the highest bidder or maybe have it repaired instead.
