How deregistration through truckoo works

You book the service in the seller portal; truckoo takes care of everything else once the vehicle has been handed over.

Step 1

Add the service

When listing the vehicle, or later in the seller portal, you select deregistration – with or without removal of the toll OBU.

Step 2

Have the documents ready

Registration certificate parts I and II and both number plates stay with the vehicle until handover. We don't need anything else for the deregistration.

Step 3

Handover as usual

The vehicle is collected and the purchase price paid out on the day of handover. The number plates and registration certificate go to truckoo for the deregistration.

Step 4

Deregistration, OBU removal, confirmation

truckoo deregisters the vehicle at the registration office and, on request, removes the toll OBU. We confirm both to you afterwards by e-mail, including the deregistration certificate. Insurance and vehicle tax end automatically.

When is deregistration through truckoo worthwhile?

Deregistration itself costs little, but it costs time: an appointment at the registration office, having the plates invalidated, removing the OBU. Through truckoo it all happens in the same process as handover and payout.

No appointment with the authorities

No waiting at the registration office, no journey. truckoo takes care of the forms, number plates and the deregistration certificate.

OBU removed professionally

The toll OBU is not part of the vehicle. We remove it and confirm the removal to you in writing – so your toll contract ends cleanly with the sale.

Useful when exporting

If the vehicle goes abroad, it must be deregistered in Germany. The buyer uses their export plates and you receive the certificate.

Insurance and tax end

On deregistration, the registration office informs the insurer and customs. Premiums and vehicle tax stop running – from the day of deregistration.

The truckoo approach

Deregistration is an optional add-on service to a sale through truckoo – not a requirement. Anyone who prefers to deregister the vehicle themselves can still do so. The sale remains free of charge for sellers.

Frequently asked questions about deregistration

Answered briefly and concretely. If a question remains, the truckoo team will be happy to help by phone or e-mail.

What does deregistration through truckoo cost?

49 € plus VAT for deregistration at the registration office for vehicles first registered 2015 or later; 149 € plus VAT for vehicles first registered before 2015. Removal of the toll OBU including deregistration of the OBU device costs an additional 179 € plus VAT, regardless of the registration year. All prices are exclusive of VAT; there are no further costs. Booked services are invoiced separately by truckoo and deducted from the purchase price at payout.

Can I book deregistration without selling through truckoo?

No. Deregistration is an add-on service for vehicles sold through truckoo – it is tied to the handover and collection. Anyone selling their vehicle themselves continues to deregister it themselves.

When is the vehicle deregistered?

After the handover. Until then the vehicle stays registered so that the buyer can collect it. You receive the deregistration certificate by e-mail as soon as the registration office has confirmed the deregistration.

What do I need for the deregistration?

Registration certificate parts I and II and both number plates. Everything stays with the vehicle until handover – truckoo then takes it along for the deregistration. You don't have to sign or prepare anything: we handle the deregistration and confirm it to you afterwards.

Why does the OBU have to be removed?

The toll OBU is tied to your toll contract and is not part of the vehicle. If it stays installed, the buyer's toll charges can be billed to your account. With OBU removal we remove the unit, deregister it and confirm both to you together with the vehicle deregistration.

What happens to insurance and vehicle tax?

The registration office automatically reports the deregistration to the insurer and customs. Insurance cover and vehicle tax end on the day of deregistration; any overpaid tax is refunded.

Not sold yet? List first, then add deregistration

The registration certificate, mileage and six photos are all you need. Listing takes about ten minutes and you select deregistration directly in the portal.
