Why not just register it in Denmark?
Since Brexit a UK-registered car is a non-EU import. Here is what putting it on local plates actually involves — and why most owners sell it back to the UK instead.
- Registreringsafgift: 25%, 85% and 150% bands of the car's taxable value — usually more than an ordinary used car is worth.
- A UK car is a non-EU import: 10% customs duty (unless UK-built) and 25% VAT before the registration tax is even calculated.
- Once you are resident the car must be registered promptly; the UK registration lapses without an MOT and UK insurance.
- Right-hand drive can be registered but needs headlamp changes and sells for less in Denmark.

Why UK Car Owners in Denmark Choose Us
Copenhagen's pharma, shipping and green-energy firms bring British professionals to Denmark, and Danes come home from the UK with their cars too. Whoever you are, the same number stops you re-plating it: Denmark's registration tax (registreringsafgift) is charged in bands of 25%, 85% and 150% of the car's taxable value, after customs duty and 25% VAT for a car from outside the EU. Add the syn inspection and headlamp changes for right-hand drive, and registering an ordinary used car costs more than the car.
We buy UK-registered cars in Denmark exactly as they stand — UK plates, right-hand drive, with or without an MOT — and return them to the UK trade, where they sell at full value. Free collection from Copenhagen and Zealand to Funen and Jutland, all export paperwork handled, payment in pounds sterling (£) before the car leaves.
Free Collection Across Denmark
Denmark is on the way home for our Scandinavian runs: Copenhagen and Zealand, Odense on Funen, Aarhus and Aalborg in Jutland. We collect within days of you accepting the offer and complete every export document ourselves.
Right-Hand Drive? No Problem
Denmark drives on the right, so a right-hand-drive UK car is harder to sell to Danish buyers and generally fetches less than it should. Sold back into the UK, where right-hand drive is the norm, it realises its true value — which is why we can pay UK trade prices.
We collect UK-registered vehicles from Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and every town in between — all paperwork handled, and you're paid in pounds sterling (£) on the day of collection. Get your free, guaranteed valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I avoid Denmark's registration tax by selling to you?
Yes. We buy the car as a UK-registered vehicle and export it, so registreringsafgift, customs, VAT, syn and Motorstyrelsen never come into it.
How do I get paid in Denmark?
In pounds sterling (£) by instant bank transfer while our driver is with you — into your UK account if you have one, or a Danish account that converts the pounds.
How quickly can you collect my car?
We can typically arrange collection within 5-7 working days of you accepting our offer, depending on your location in Europe.
Are there any hidden fees?
Absolutely not. Our service is completely free to use and we cover all collection and administration costs — there are no fees or deductions at any point.
Is my offer final?
Every offer is subject to a short inspection when we collect the car, simply to confirm it matches the details and condition you described. If everything is as described, the offer stands.
How and when do I get paid?
You will be paid in pounds sterling (£) via a secure and instant bank transfer on the day of collection. Our driver will not leave with the vehicle until you have confirmed the funds are in your account.
Can you buy my car without an MOT or road tax?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in buying cars regardless of their MOT or tax status.
I can't find my V5C (logbook). Can you still buy my car?
Yes, in most cases we can still purchase your vehicle. We handle all the necessary DVLA paperwork to confirm ownership. Please mention this when you fill out the form.
