Sell your car in Dubai

Why Carbai
A private alternative to classifieds and calling dealers one by one
Selling a car in Dubai usually means one of two things. You can post a public classified, which can bring a stream of direct calls and messages from strangers before you have a single firm offer. Or you can drive from dealership to dealership, where each visit gives you one initial offer to weigh on its own.
Carbai works differently. You submit your vehicle once, and verified UAE dealers review the same details privately and send their offers back to you — so you compare them side by side instead of chasing them one at a time.
Carbai does not buy, inspect or value your car. Any inspection, negotiation and the sale itself happen directly between you and the dealer you choose. You can read more about Carbai.
The same approach applies across the country — see how selling your car to UAE dealers works.
| Public classifieds | One dealership | Carbai | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car posted publicly | Yes | No | No |
| Offers to compare | Enquiries, not offers | One | Several |
| Your contact details shared | Usually | Yes | No |
| Cost to the seller | Varies | — | Free |
How it works
How to get dealer offers for your car in Dubai
Submit your vehicle
Tell us the make, model, year, current kilometres, specification and condition, add your expected-value range, and upload clear photographs. It takes a few minutes.
Dealers make offers
Verified UAE dealers review the anonymised vehicle information and send their initial purchase offers through Carbai. Carbai never shares your identity or contact details with them.
Choose who to contact
Each offer arrives with the dealer's business information. You can contact one dealer, several dealers or none at all — there is no obligation to proceed.
Common situations
Built for common Dubai selling situations
Upgrading or replacing a vehicle
Selling your current car can run in parallel with choosing the next one. You gather private offers quietly while you shop, rather than letting a public advert draw calls before you are ready to hand the car over.
Leaving Dubai or the UAE
Relocation often comes with a deadline. You can collect dealer offers in one place, compare them on your own schedule, and move quickly once you decide — without arranging viewings around your packing.
Avoiding a public classified listing
Your car is never posted as a public advertisement, so you are not fielding messages from unknown buyers or repeating the same details to every enquiry. Only verified dealers see the vehicle.
Comparing before committing to one dealer
A single walk-in gives you one number with nothing to weigh it against. With several private offers side by side, you can see the range before you talk to anyone or agree to anything.

- Relevant service, finance, accident or condition information
Questions
Selling your car in Dubai — common questions
Is Carbai free for sellers in Dubai?
Yes. Submitting your car and receiving dealer offers is completely free for private sellers. There is no listing fee and no commission.
Will my car be posted publicly?
No. Your car is never published as a public classified. Only verified UAE dealers can review the vehicle information you submit.
Will dealers receive my phone number?
No. Dealers see the vehicle details, photographs and your expected-value range, but never your name, phone number or email address. Your contact details stay private until you decide to reach out to a dealer yourself.
Are dealer offers final?
No. Offers made through Carbai are initial offers based on the information you provide. Any inspection, negotiation and the final agreed price are settled directly between you and the dealer.
Do I have to accept an offer?
No. There is no obligation to accept any offer or to sell your car. You decide whether to contact a dealer, and you are free to walk away at any point.
What happens after I contact a dealer?
From that point you deal with the dealer directly. Carbai does not buy, inspect, value or handle payment for the vehicle — the inspection, negotiation and sale are all between you and the dealer you contact.
Full terms for private sellers are in the Seller Terms.
