Sell your car in Ghent, a city driving less and less

Between the low-emission zone and the traffic circulation plan that closed the historic centre to through traffic, owning a car in Ghent has become a real headache for many residents. Rather than fight these restrictions every week, sell your car and get its value back immediately, in cash. Many of our Ghent customers get in touch right after giving up on finding a parking spot close to home.

The circulation plan redrew the city

Since the traffic circulation plan took effect, driving across Ghent from one neighbourhood to another often means long detours around the inner ring and its traffic loops. Many people in Ghent have simply put their car aside in favour of a bike or public transport, faster for these short trips.

If that's your situation, keeping a car that barely gets used makes no financial sense: between insurance and road tax, it costs you money every month without giving anything back. We buy it so that parking space can finally be useful again.

Trips that used to be direct now require a detour around the loops separating the different sectors, to the point where a car has often become the slowest way to cross your own city. This drastic change has pushed many households to give up owning a car altogether, sooner than planned.

The LEZ adds to the traffic restrictions

On top of the circulation plan's complexity comes the low-emission zone, which excludes the most polluting diesel and petrol cars from central Ghent. Combined with the circulation plan, this double constraint pushes many owners to sell earlier than planned, sometimes before the car has even reached the end of its useful life.

Ledeberg, Gentbrugge, Sint-Amandsberg, Wondelgem: our teams travel to every neighbourhood of the agglomeration, with easy access via the E17, E40, and the R4 ring, even during rush hour.

Automatic camera checks leave little room for error: a non-compliant car entering the zone gets fined almost every time, which is a good reason to act before rather than after.

A firm offer, without having to drive through Ghent

Describe your car online in a few minutes, and we get back to you within 30 minutes with a firm amount, no endless haggling on the phone. No on-the-spot negotiation, no curious buyer backing out at the last minute after seeing the car.

Pickup happens at your home, on your street or in your garage, and payment is settled immediately at handover, so you never have to drive through the restricted centre to deliver the car yourself.

Our teams can also come early in the morning or in the evening if your work schedule leaves little room during the day.
