Car Consignment in Dubai: How It Works and When It Pays
Car consignment means a dealer sells your car for you to a retail buyer. In Dubai, Carology photographs and films the car, markets it to its large social media audience, handles viewings and negotiation, completes the RTA transfer and pays you once it sells. There is no upfront cost: you only pay an agreed fee if the car sells. Consignment usually gets a higher price than selling outright, in exchange for a little more time.
Step by step
- Agree the asking price, timeframe and fee with us upfront
- We photograph, film and list the car
- We promote it across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook and to our buyer network
- We screen buyers, handle viewings and negotiate
- Once sold, we complete the RTA transfer and you get paid
When consignment is the better choice
- You want the best possible price and are not in a rush
- Your car is desirable: popular SUVs, luxury and performance cars, low mileage
- You don't want strangers calling you or test-driving your car
When to sell outright instead
If you need money today, are leaving the UAE soon, or the car needs work, selling directly is faster. We can do either, and tell you honestly which suits your car.
