Sell your car in Abu Dhabi
Sell your car in Abu Dhabi without advertising it publicly.
Submit your car to Carbai and verified UAE dealers can send you private purchase offers — no public advert and no stream of unknown callers. You share the vehicle once, your name and number stay private, and you decide which dealer, if any, to contact. There is nothing to pay as a seller.
No listing fee · No commission · No obligation to sell
The idea
Compare dealer offers without visiting dealerships one by one
Selling to a dealership in Abu Dhabi often means driving out to one showroom, taking whatever single figure they quote, then wondering whether the next lot along the road would have done better. Posting a public advert carries its own cost: your number goes out to anyone scrolling, and the messages start well before a genuine buyer does.
Carbai removes both problems. You enter your car's details once, and participating dealers assess exactly the same information independently. Their offers arrive together, so you compare them first and open a conversation only when one is worth it.
Carbai does not value, inspect or purchase the vehicle. It carries the offers between you and the dealers — you can read more about Carbai.
Not tied to one emirate? The same service covers selling your car to UAE dealers nationwide.

Three steps
How to receive car dealer offers in Abu Dhabi
Share your vehicle details
Enter the make, model, year, mileage, specification and an honest condition summary, add the price range you have in mind, and attach clear photographs. A few minutes is enough.
Receive initial dealer offers
Verified UAE dealers review the anonymised information and submit their opening offers through Carbai. Your identity is never attached to what they assess.
Decide who to contact
Every offer arrives with the dealer's business details, so you can reach out to one, to several, or to none at all. Nothing obliges you to take it further.
When it fits
A practical option for Abu Dhabi car sellers
Replacing or upgrading a vehicle
If the next car is already on its way, you can line up offers for the current one quietly, so the handover happens on your schedule rather than a buyer's.
Preparing to leave the UAE
End-of-posting timelines rarely leave room for showroom tours. Collecting dealer offers in one place lets you settle the car quickly once the departure date is fixed.
Avoiding repeated dealer visits
Rather than driving across the emirate from one lot to the next, you submit the details once and let interested dealers come back to you with figures.
Comparing before you negotiate
Opening a negotiation with several written offers already in hand is a very different position from accepting the first number a showroom puts in front of you.
Privacy
Your vehicle is visible. Your contact details are not.
Dealers get what they need to price the car accurately — and nothing that identifies you.
Dealers may receive
- Vehicle information
- Photos
- Seller-provided expected-value range
- Relevant vehicle notes
Dealers do not receive
- Seller name
- Phone number
- Email address
- Private seller-status link
Carbai sends each offer back to you with the dealer's business details. You decide whether to contact them. See how your information is handled in our Privacy Policy.

Questions
Selling a car in Abu Dhabi — common questions
Is Carbai free for sellers in Abu Dhabi?
Yes. Sellers pay nothing to submit a car or to receive dealer offers — there is no listing fee and no commission at any stage.
Is my vehicle posted on a public marketplace?
No. Your car is never placed on a public marketplace or classifieds site. Only verified UAE dealers can review the details you provide.
Which information can dealers see?
Dealers see the vehicle information, photographs and the expected-value range you supply. They never see your name, phone number or email address.
Does Carbai value or inspect my car?
No. Carbai does not value, inspect or buy your car. Dealers form their own assessment, and any inspection is arranged directly with the dealer you choose.
Can I compare several dealer offers?
Yes — that is the reason you submit only once. Offers arrive in one place so you can weigh them side by side before contacting anyone.
What happens once I contact a dealer?
You then take the conversation forward with that dealer yourself. The inspection, negotiation, payment and transfer are all handled between you and the dealer; Carbai is not part of the transaction.
The full terms for private sellers are set out in the Seller Terms.
