FAQ
This is a short list of our most frequently asked questions. For more information about 2ndMove by Europcar, or if you need support, feel free to contact us.
Do I need to pay a registration fee?
No, registration to the 2ndMove platform is free of charge.
I am an international purchaser, can I access the stocks of all of your markets?
As an international B2B purchaser, you can access the whole stock of vehicles (from France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany and the UK). In the search tool, you simply have to select the value ‘Europe’ under the category ‘Stock’.
How can I participate to an auction?
In order to participate to an auction, you need to create a ‘My 2ndMove’ personal account, or if you already have one, need to log-in to the platform through your personal account. We draw your attention to the fact that all the vehicles we sell are not submitted to an auction program. An auction program can also be combined with a buy-now program; in that case, you simply choose to bid, or to close the sale by buying the vehicle and ending the auction.
How do I know if my bid was successful?
Every time you place a bid on the platform, an e-mail is automatically triggered to your mailbox to confirm that your bid was successful. A mention also appears on the bidding screen of the website to inform you that the bid has successfully been placed.
The vehicle I was bidding for has disappeared from the auction I was participating. Why?
This may occur during a combined auction / buy-now sale: if you placed a bid on a given vehicle and another person presses the button ‘Buy-now’, the auction is automatically ended, and the vehicle is sold to this customer. An e-mail is automatically triggered by our website to inform you that, as a bidder, you lost this auction.
Why is there no auction for the vehicles in the French stock?
The French legislation imposes us to organize auctions (even online auctions) via an auctioneer. This is why we cannot offer this service in France.
How much time will an international payment take?
A regular online SEPA transaction does not take more than 3 working days.
Where do I find the bank details in order to make a payment?

When and where can I pick-up the vehicles?
