Valais is bilingual: German is spoken in Upper Valais, French in Central and Lower Valais. For your sale, this makes no difference, because the process is the same throughout the canton.
For you, this means: you neither have to receive unknown prospective buyers nor deal with forms for the deregistration. You enter your car online and get a binding offer based on the overall Swiss market. Whether the car is registered in Brig, in Monthey or in a mountain village makes no difference.
The deregistration is included, and we also take the plates and other formalities off your hands. We also buy a car whose periodic inspection is due, as it is. And if you have a car with all-wheel drive or a set of winter wheels that goes with it, it’s worth mentioning that in your request.

Request an offer
Enter your vehicle details in our online form. Your advantage: with just a few details, you get a very accurate initial offer (in practice often accurate to within +/- 1’000 CHF), because we use real market data.
Send us photos of your car and your vehicle registration document conveniently online. This allows a precise assessment without you losing time on appointments.
Based on your photos, you receive a firm, guaranteed offer – conveniently online, with no on-site viewing appointments. No renegotiation, 100% transparent.
At the handover, we initiate the payment by instant bank transfer (Instant Payment); we pay smaller amounts in cash if you wish. The vehicle registration document and VS plates stay with us, because we take care of the deregistration.
Right at the handover, with no waiting.
We transfer the purchase price during the handover itself. The money is usually in your account within seconds, secure and traceable.
For smaller amounts, for example for export vehicles, we can also pay in cash on request.
We buy cars from all three parts of the canton, in German-speaking Upper Valais as well as in French-speaking Central and Lower Valais. We accept requests from Brig-Glis, Naters and Visp just as we do from the Goms, the Lötschental or the Saastal. In Central Valais, we value a car from Sion, Sierre, Conthey or Savièse by the same standards as one from Crans-Montana, the Val d’Anniviers or the Val d’Hérens. And in Lower Valais, we buy cars from Martigny, Fully and the Val de Bagnes just as we do from Monthey and Collombey-Muraz in the Chablais.
Request an offer nowAfter the handover, you don’t have to lift a finger for the deregistration. We take care of the VS plates, the vehicle registration document and all the formalities that come with the sale, in Upper Valais just as in Lower Valais. Until the appointment, the plates stay on the car.
For the appointment, it’s enough for the car to look the way you photographed it. Clear out personal belongings, including from the roof box or ski rack if these aren’t being sold with the car, and have the second set of wheels ready if it belongs to the car.

We set the price based on make, model, engine, mileage and condition, and your photos show us how well the car has really been looked after. A complete service booklet and the report from the last inspection make the valuation easier. In your request, also mention whether your car has all-wheel drive and whether good winter tires or a second set of wheels come with it, so that we can include this in the valuation. That way, the offer is accurate from the start.
One point only affects registered keepers in Valais: the motor vehicle tax based on engine displacement. A large engine costs more here every year. For our offer, this plays no direct role, because we base it on nationwide market prices; what matters are age, mileage and condition. Describe signs of wear such as stone chips or worn tires honestly, and the offer will be right from the outset. For older, high-mileage cars, export may be the better solution.
The most important factors in a vehicle valuation:
Premium brands hold their value better
The lower, the more valuable
High-end features and a powerful engine increase the value
Body, engine and transmission are assessed individually

★★★★★
“Professional team, transparent processes and fast payment.”
No, just leave them on the car. You give us the plates together with the vehicle registration document at the handover, and we then take care of the deregistration and everything that goes with it.
If you accept our offer, we arrange the appointment with you. There, we briefly compare the car with your photos, you sign the sales contract and receive the purchase price by instant bank transfer (Instant Payment). The price doesn’t change, and there is no renegotiation.
If it belongs to the car, yes. Good winter wheels are a selling point for many prospective buyers, and we include them in the valuation. So mention the second set in your request, show it in a photo and state the age and condition of the tires. At the handover, it’s then simply part of the deal, just like the keys and vehicle registration document.
Yes. Until the end of the contract, your car legally belongs to the leasing company, so we need its settlement quote. Request it before you enter your car, and state the amount in the form. You can read what happens next and what to look out for with the settlement on our page Sell a leased car. In this case too, we take care of the deregistration.
Not if you sell to us. We also buy a car whose periodic inspection is due, as it is, so you save yourself the appointment and the preparation. If you have the report from the last inspection to hand, bring it along to the handover.
The motor vehicle tax based on engine displacement is paid by whoever has the car registered in Valais, so by you until the plates are returned and after that, if applicable, by the next registered keeper in Valais. Our offer, on the other hand, depends on age, mileage, condition, features and nationwide demand, and we buy cars with large engines just as we do those with small ones. You can get a first estimate with our free valuation.
