Registration? Free.<\/strong> Bidding? Free.<\/strong> Customer support? Free.<\/strong> In fact, OPENLANE does not charge you anything unless you are successful in purchasing or selling a vehicle. A good deal? We think so.<\/p>\n

If you do win an auction, certain mandatory fees apply.<\/strong> These include country-specific import fees, auction fees and fees for the related customs documentation. Please always remember to take these costs into account when calculating your bid.<\/p>\n

The auction fee<\/strong> depends on how much you eventually pay for a vehicle. However, we guarantee high-quality personal service no matter how much you pay. For every vehicle purchased also incurs a country fee<\/strong>. The fee depends on which country the vehicle is sold in. You will always find it listed on the car details page.<\/p>\n

Additionally, for a limited number of sellers, we charge extra costs. For full transparency, these appear under \u2018Seller specific fee\u2019<\/strong> on the car details page. This is mainly applicable for sellers who are offering their vehicles exclusively on openlane.eu.<\/span><\/p>\n
