Openlane car auction

Openlane is an online auction website where new and used vehicles are offered. The inventory includes cars, commercial vehicles, and light trucks. Openlane's auctions target automotive businesses, traders, and dealers.

The American division of Openlane was divested and sold to the American company Carvana in 2022. However, Openlane still maintains a large presence in 50 European countries.

Openlane integration in CarCollect

As a seller on CarCollect, you can activate the Openlane service in the Hub, establishing an automatic connection with Openlane's auction platform.

When creating an auction, you have the option to relay it to Openlane. Our integration ensures that the auction is created on Openlane after their approval.

The advantage for you as a seller is that you don't need to start an auction on both Openlane and CarCollect. You can create a single auction on CarCollect and choose whether to display it on Openlane.

Bidding

Through our Aggregated Bidding technology, bids received on Openlane are automatically and in real-time transferred to CarCollect. This ensures you always have the most up-to-date bids on your auction.

Openlane car auction costs

The integration with Openlane is available for free to all sellers on CarCollect. When you sell on CarCollect, you don't pay anything extra to display your auction on the Openlane platform.

As a seller, if you award the car to a bidder from Openlane, you don't pay any commission to Openlane. However, you will receive your usual kickback fee from CarCollect for the sold vehicle.
