-- cartea, a rising force in the Middle East’s digital automotive industry, has officially launched its free car selling platform, transforming how GCC residents buy and sell vehicles online. As digital adoption accelerates across the Gulf, cartea’s user-friendly and transparent service is helping thousands of car owners reach buyers quickly, securely, and at no cost.
According to AutoData Middle East’s 2024 report, the UAE saw a 15.7% increase in vehicle registrations, while Saudi Arabia exceeded 1 million new registrations. This surge underscores the region’s growing appetite for digital-first platforms that simplify car transactions. Recognizing this opportunity, cartea introduced its free vehicle listing service, empowering users to sell cars online without fees or intermediaries.
Within its first month of operation, cartea recorded over 5,000 vehicle listings, with 86% being GCC-spec models built for the region’s demanding climate. This strong response highlights the platform’s local relevance and growing trust among users.
