Why UK Owners in France Choose Us
Britain's long love affair with France means thousands of expats and second-home owners across Île-de-France, Provence and Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and plenty arrive in a UK-registered car that never gets French plates. Re-registering means a certificate of conformity, the quitus fiscal, a contrôle technique and a carte grise, and the bill climbs quickly.
For a car you may not keep long, that rarely feels worth it. Most owners decide selling back into the UK trade is the cleaner option, so we buy your UK-registered vehicle exactly as it stands — no préfecture queues and no French paperwork to chase.
Free Collection Across France
Collection from France is quick: our transporters run regular routes to the Calais, Dunkirk and Caen crossings, so whether you're in Paris, Bordeaux or down on the Côte d'Azur near Nice, we can reach you within days of you accepting the offer. As France is in the EU, the car travels under standard export documentation — we prepare and handle every form ourselves.
Right-Hand Drive? No Problem
France drives on the right, so a right-hand-drive UK car is awkward for French buyers and usually fetches less than it's genuinely worth on the local market. Selling it back to the UK, where right-hand drive is the norm, is almost always the better way to recover its full value.
We collect UK-registered vehicles from Paris, Lyon, Marseille 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 need a valid contrôle technique to sell my UK car in France?
No. Because we buy your car as a UK-registered vehicle and export it rather than putting it on French roads, the contrôle technique is irrelevant. We purchase cars with no French inspection, no valid MOT and no French road tax.
Will I have to pay for a carte grise before selling?
Not at all. The carte grise and its regional tax only apply when you register a car for French roads, which you never need to do. We buy your UK-plated car exactly as it is and collect free anywhere in France.
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.
