Autorola

Autorola is a Danish-founded remarketing group that runs online car auctions across Europe, splitting its buyer base into two doors at the login: Fleet for the companies disposing of vehicles and Motor Trade for the businesses buying them. Its national sites operate under local domains — bilsalg.dk in Denmark among them — but the auctions are the same operation.

What you can buy

• Ex-lease and ex-fleet cars across the full European brand range, including Chinese marques now appearing in European fleets.
• Vans and light commercials.
• Electric and hybrid vehicles.
• Motorcycles, occasionally.

How the bidding works

Auctions run online with a current-auctions list and a make-and-model search. The site publishes separate guides for buying and selling and — usefully — a dedicated prices and commissions page, which is more transparency about costs than most wholesale platforms offer before you register.

What to check before you bid

This is a trade platform: both entry points assume a business account. Because the group operates nationally across Europe, the country a vehicle sits in decides the transport cost and the VAT treatment — read that before bidding rather than after. Read the commissions page first; on a cheap car the fee is a large share of the total.
