Buying by emirate

We work with buyers and dealers in all seven emirates: Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Registration and transfer rules differ slightly between emirates, so check with the local traffic authority if the car is registered outside Dubai. Emirate-specific guides are coming soon.

How it works

• Tell us the car, budget, emirate, whether you need finance and if you have a trade-in.
• We share your request with up to 3 verified dealers (with your consent).
• Dealers contact you with offers, with no obligation.
