You probably didn’t think much about car markets before moving, but once you’re in a new country, the differences can really surprise you. If you need to get your vehicle sorted, Carsource is here to help.

Whether you're looking to buy, sell or import a vehicle in the Netherlands, Carsource offers practical, professional and personalised support to guide you through the process. Their primary goal is to help make your car-related experience smoother, while ensuring you make choices that are in your best interest.

How Carsource saves you money

Carsource works hard to make sure its services are a worthwhile investment for you. That starts by negotiating favourable terms that make a real difference to the final deal, whether through price reductions, added benefits or improved conditions.

After that, they guide you through every step of the process, including registration, taxes and insurance, ensuring that everything is clear, manageable and without unnecessary complications. They make sure that your savings will outweigh your costs every single time.

Personalised support 

Each customer has unique needs, whether you're moving temporarily or permanently, and Carsource understands that. They provide personalised advice, offering clear explanations and a comprehensive cost overview so you can make informed decisions.

For those who need flexibility, they can help you find short-term all-inclusive lease contracts with the option to cancel on a monthly basis. For those with more long-term plans, they can look for complete car purchases. 

Clients' needs are their priority, and they make everything as simple and transparent as possible. Only reliable, high-quality vehicles are ever selected, and they thoroughly check their history and condition to ensure you're getting a trustworthy car.

In an often unclear car market, Carsource prides itself on achieving transparency, so you know exactly what you're paying for. Their customer-centred approach prioritises your satisfaction, with honest communication and expert support to make the process as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

Buying a car in the Netherlands

When purchasing a car, Carsource starts by learning about your specific needs, lifestyle and budget. Whether you're interested in a compact city car, a family SUV or a particular brand, they tailor their search to match your criteria. Then they scan the market for the best options, always ensuring that the vehicles suggested meet high-quality standards at a reasonable price. Each car is carefully checked on both ownership history and technical condition, so you can be sure there are no hidden issues.

Once a suitable car is found, Carsource helps negotiate the best terms for you, whether that's by securing a better price, warranty deals or additional features. They will even accompany you to the car viewing, making sure everything meets your expectations before finalising the deal. No car, no pay!

Trade-in options

If you’re planning to trade in your current car as part of your purchase, Carsource can assist with that as well. Through their established relationships with reputable dealers, they can often negotiate a better trade-in value than what you might receive on your own, ensuring that you get a fair deal.

Trusted partners

To provide peace of mind, Carsource only works with BOVAG-certified dealers and official brand dealerships. While they remain fully independent, their long-standing relationships with these trusted professionals allow you access to a broad network of reputable, quality-focused sellers. These partners are selected based on their proven reliability and high standards of service.

Additionally, they always negotiate maintenance and warranty packages for you, so when you are happy with your car, it will be as simple as just filling up the tank and driving!

Selling your car

If you're selling your vehicle, Carsource applies the same commitment to securing the best possible outcome. They start with a professional evaluation of your car's value based on current market conditions. By presenting your vehicle with high-quality photos and a strong listing, they ensure it reaches the right audience.

They handle all communications, viewings and negotiations, leveraging their experience to secure a good price. Additionally, they guide you through all the necessary legal and administrative steps, including ownership transfer and secure payment handling, making the process as smooth as possible.

Car import service

For expats who are looking for a specific car that is not available locally, Carsource has an Import Service that offers a complete solution. Importing can be a way to access a car that might be more affordable abroad, and with Carsource handling the import process, it can be straightforward too. 

They can take care of sourcing the car, managing shipping, customs procedures, inspections and ensuring that the vehicle complies with Dutch standards. They also assist with the necessary documentation, such as the BPM declaration (taxes for imported cars), so you know exactly what to expect in terms of costs. Once the vehicle arrives, they ensure it’s registered in your name and ready for use.
