Question 5

How do I transfer ownership of my car in KSA?

Accepted Answer

There are 2 ways to transfer ownership of your used car in KSA. The first one is from the comfort of your home. All you need to do is provide us with your vehicle registration licence (Istimara), Copy of ID or residence permit (Iqama), and ensure motor vehicle periodic inspection report (Fahas) is valid. The buyer must provide us with a copy of ID or residence permit (Iqama), and ensure that they bought valid insurance under their name. The buyer will also have to pay a fee for vehicle ownership transfer. Yourself and the buyer will receive an SMS through the Absher platform after the documents have been verified at which time, the buyer will be able to send payment for the car through the platform. The second method is attending in person at one of our partner showrooms. Here, you and the buyer will be present along with our sales agent. The documents required are the same as the ones mentioned above. The showroom representative will assist you with uploading all the documents, and once they have been verified, the buyer will be able to send payment for the car through the platform along with the fee for vehicle ownership transfer.

Question 6

Where can I sell my car in KSA?

Accepted Answer

There are 3 ways to sell your used car in KSA. The first is by using a managed service such as CarSwitch, where you can get the maximum value for your car without doing any of the work. The second is through dealerships, where you will sell your car for a lower price but can do so quickly. The third is through classifieds such as Haraj, which is a cheap alternative but you have to deal with the painful, and high risk process from coordinating with strangers to transferring your car on your own.

Question 7

What if I end up selling my car on my own?

Accepted Answer

We will work hard to help sell your used car in KSA, however, if you end up selling the car on your own, then our success based fee won’t apply. In addition, we will still guide you through the car ownership transfer process. We only ask that if you post your car on another platform, you do so by matching the listing price that you select on CarSwitch to give us a fair shot.
