Sell your vehicles in 4 simple steps
1
Inspection
With the intuitive OPENLANE Inspect app, you save time and create a car inspection report yourself. Upload the data directly to the OPENLANE Sell portal, finish off the car description, and request your auction. It only takes a few minutes to put your car in front of thousands of buyers on the OPENLANE platform. You can then export the images and data for reuse on other platforms.

Auction
There are a few different ways to sell at OPENLANE, and your options depend on where your business is located.
Sell your vehicles at international auctions and they’ll be put in front of a network of more than 125,000 buyers from all across Europe. And just 48 hours later, we’ll present you with the highest bid. You then decide to accept the bid and complete the sale, negotiate with the buyer, or reject the offer and auction the car again.
You can also sell vehicles exclusively to your dealer network through communities that you create. You have control over when your community auction starts, its duration, and which buyers can participate. This is the perfect approach when you know your buyers and understand the types of cars they are seeking. Don’t spend time reading out to your network through email or messaging, but bring them online and connect them seamlessly to your offer.

Sale & Payment
Selling with OPENLANE is easy, fast and safe!
After you accept the highest bid, you send OPENLANE an invoice for the amount of that bid, and we pay you immediately.
If your company is located in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, or the Netherlands, you will receive payment within two working days of sending the invoice. Otherwise, you will receive instructions to deliver the car to the nearest OPENLANE hub, and your invoice will be paid as soon as the car is with us. If you work with community auctions, you can arrange the sale and payment terms directly with the buyer.

We became aware of OPENLANE (former COTW) in 2013 and have been a loyal customer since then. The sales process is very well structured and always adapted to the current market situation. Processing is easy, the communication is transparent and the payments are made quickly. We would recommend working with OPENLANE at any time.
