New Pick-Up Locations
Overview
We’re excited to announce that our France branch is now live !
This means that some vehicles will be listed and invoiced from France (FR) , with pick-up directly in France .
Others vehicles will continue to be listed and invoiced from Belgium (BE) , with pick-up in Belgium.
How this change benefits you:
- More cars to choose from
- Faster lead & pick-up times
- Shorter transport distances & better eCarsTrade Delivery Service prices
- Clearer compliance with local regulations
Pick-up locations
Every vehicle clearly shows its pick-up country on the listing and in your Pick-Up Authorization.
Look for a badge such as “FR Pick-up” or “BE Pick-up” .
The branch decides where you collect the car and how it's invoiced.
- FR badge → Collect the vehicle in France (invoice from France)
- BE badge → Collect the vehicle in Belgium (invoice from Belgium)
VAT
If you buy a car with deductible VAT , the final VAT amount is always displayed before bid confirmation, as well as on the proforma and invoice.
The following rules apply to deductible VAT vehicles:
| Scenario | VAT |
|---|---|
| Company in France buying from FR branch | VAT applies |
| Company in France buying from BE branch | VAT does not apply |
| Company in Belgium buying from FR branch | VAT does not apply |
| Company in Belgium buying from BE branch | VAT applies |
if you buy a Margin car , VAT has been paid and none of the above VAT rules apply .
Future plans & support
We plan to open more branches in other countries. As they go live, new pick‑up badges will appear — for example, “DE Pick-up” or “NL Pick‑up” .
If you have any questions about pick‑up locations or VAT, our team is ready to help.
