Autociel for Expatriates

Autociel.ch ? All you want to know about us (pdf)

Importing your car

If you are arriving in Switzerland, we can either help you import your own car or help you source a new or high quality nearly-new car(s) in Switzerland..

Rental cars

We can provide you with an interim rental and our prices are around half the prices of the major rental companies.

• Category A: Audi A4 sedan or estate, Volvo S40 or V40, Saab 9.3
• Category B: Audi A4 sedan or estate 4-wheel-drive, VW Passat estate 4-wheel-drive

Your new car in Switzerland

We are able to provide you with new and used cars (any brand). Our prices are usually (and sometimes considerably) under the market price for new cars. We are able to offer custom-sourced used cars that best fit a client’s individual needs and budget and that is also forward-thinking in considering the future resale value.

Attention : Price levels around Geneva and Lausanne are often far higher than those in the Swiss-German part of the country and sometimes Germany itself. This provides excellent opportunities, utilising our valued network of contacts to source a high quality car at an excellent price.

Furthermore, in the Geneva/Lausanne area there are not many garages able to serve you in German or in English and there is no one that is able to deliver you any brand!

Registering your car (that you buy elsewhere)

Even if you buy your car from a colleague or a private person we can still help you! We take care of the whole registration process, help you with insurance and we can even clean your car.

Car insurance and car financing

We can help you obtain quality, competitive car insurance through our partners in this field. If you need financing terms (Leasing) for your car, we can help you to find the best way to finance your car and can take care of the application process for you.

Servicing of your car and winter tyre service

If you need assistance, we are here to help you! We’ll bring the car to one of our partners to service it or change the tyres. In the meantime we will, of course, leave you a courtesy car.

Trading in your car

We will happily make you a trade in offer. This is possible at any time, even a few days before you leave Switzerland.

Sales Assistance Service

Alternatively, we will estimate your car’s value using the Eurotax system (Switzerland’s most trusted evaluation software) and then analyse the internet for market comparisons. We will collect your car (leaving you a replacement car) and will make a complete check up to advise you of any suggested repairs required to maximise the resale value.

The car will be returned to you and put on the leading Internet platform in Switzerland with Autociel handling all enquiries for you (if the car is not sold after this period, we may suggest reviewing the price).

When we have a serious enquiry we will come and pick up the car (again, leaving you a replacement car), clean it and then show it to the customer. Of course, the car can also be let at autociel.ch.
