It is not very straight forward to\u00a0sell your car in Dubai<\/strong>\u00a0and you need to have a clear understanding of the laws in this regard. All the important laws and regulations associated with the sale of a car are inevitable to follow in order to make sure that the whole process of the sale and purchase of the car is made transparent avoiding any possible loopholes. From some very common practices to few professionally dealt procedures, the laws to sell your car in Dubai are simple and systematic. No one can sell a car in Dubai unless all the required\u00a0legal procedures<\/strong>\u00a0are met.<\/p>\n

This blog will help you out learning about the essential laws and regulations to sell your car in Dubai.<\/p>\n

RTA Certificate is a Must<\/h2>\n

When you are selling your car in Dubai, you must get the car cleared from the\u00a0RTA (Road and Transport Authority) system<\/strong>.\u00a0The RTA system is there to ensure that the car to be sold has all its finances cleared and that all bank loans are already paid<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Cost of the RTA Test and its Validity<\/h3>\n

The RTA Test does not cost you much at all. You would need to pay\u00a0Dh120<\/strong>\u00a0for the RTA Test and the test remains valid for\u00a030 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Original Seller Must be Present at the Time of Sale<\/h2>\n

You cannot send somebody else to sell your car in your place. It is important in Dubai that the\u00a0original seller of the car is there to foresee all the proceedings and complete the deal.<\/em>\u00a0The original seller should be there along with his original Emirates ID and the test certificate of RTA. In case, there is an emergency and the original seller cannot appear, the owner of the car must give the\u00a0power of attorney to the person selling the car on his behalf<\/strong>. The process takes time as it involves the approval from recognized courts.<\/p>\n

Insurance Transfer<\/h2>\n

Insurance Transfer is not always the option chosen as most of the insurance companies do not offer this facility. However, the companies that offer the insurance transfer have their own terms and conditions.\u00a0Mostly what happens is that the insurance policy can be transferred to the new buyers if the policy is at least 7 months old<\/em>. The best solution to this insurance issue is that you should cancel the Insurance if not more than\u00a07 months insurance<\/strong>\u00a0is remaining and get a refund for it.<\/p>\n

Loan Transfer<\/h2>\n

The transfer of the loan is not possible.\u00a0The pending loans of the car must be paid and the RTA clearance should be acquired before the car is handed over to a new buyer<\/em>. In case the seller of the car does not have enough money to pay the loan of the car, there is still a possibility to sell the car. In this situation, the\u00a0buyer must go with the seller to the corresponding bank and pay the loan to get the car released from the bank<\/em>. In this case, a sales agreement will be signed by both seller and the buyer stating that the loan has been paid by the buyer and that both parties are in accord with that. The bank would then contact the RTA and the car be cleared for sale.<\/p>\n

Few General Rules and Regulations<\/h2>\n

Along with all the important laws for selling a car in Dubai, there are some general rules and regulations everyone should follow to avoid unnecessary fines and other restrictions.<\/p>\n
