Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to read that your experience with delivery time, vehicle condition, and support did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it is to wait several months for a car and to feel unsupported when issues arise.

Delays can occur due to logistics or seller-side processes, but we fully acknowledge that clearer timelines and proactive communication are essential. Regarding vehicle condition and missing items, these situations are assessed under our Claim Policy, and we regret if the outcome left you feeling that your concerns were not properly addressed.

We also take your comments about the speed and quality of our support seriously. Improving response times and the clarity of our communication remains a priority for us.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

Kind regards,

I recently purchased my first vehicle through Openlane as a professional car dealer, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.

The platform is well organized, transparent, and easy to use.
Communication was efficient, and the support team responded promptly whenever clarification was needed. The invoicing process was clear, and the vehicle documentation was properly handled.
I highly recommend Openlane to dealers looking for a transparent and efficient way to source vehicles internationally.

Agent Leo is a Pro

I’ve had a technical issue and lost my connection. Leo sent me an email reaching back to me so I could be responded in despite of losing my connection with him by the chat. He was such a pro, and the situation that made me reach out to your company in the first place got solved.

had a very positive experience with Openlane, especially thanks to Leo C, who supported me live in the chat during the extra time phase of an auction.

Leo was extremely competent, calm, and clear in his explanations at a moment where timing and decisions really matter. He was also very friendly, approachable, and always available to clarify doubts quickly, which made a huge difference.

His support gave me confidence to manage the extra-time phase properly and ultimately close the deal successfully. This kind of professional and human support is exactly what you want when buying vehicles through online auctions.

Thank you, Leo C., and well done to the Openlane team.

I purchased a Ford Trafic (2006)…

I purchased a Ford Trafic (2006) through Openlane. After delivery, it became clear that the vehicle was in a catastrophic technical condition – a non-functional engine, injectors, turbocharger, timing system, gearbox, and clutch. The vehicle was practically undriveable.

I attempted to file a claim, which was rejected based on their terms and conditions (time limit and minimum vehicle price). Formally, this is in line with their rules, but in reality, buyers of lower-priced vehicles carry not just the risk, but the entire burden.

In my experience, the technical condition of vehicles under €3,000 can be extremely poor and not clearly reflected in the listing description. Subsequent repair costs can easily exceed the purchase price several times over.

I consider Openlane to be a platform suitable only for professionals who fully expect to buy a technical wreck for parts or a complete rebuild. For ordinary buyers expecting a drivable vehicle, I do not recommend this service.

We have now found during the technical inspection, which was unsuccessful, that the car has total corrosion of the undercarriage. The car is suitable for scrapping.

!!!! I definitely do not recommend Openlane !!!!

Dear Customer,

We are sorry to read about your disappointment and understand how frustrating this situation must have been.

However, we would like to clarify several important points to ensure a complete and factual understanding of this case.

The vehicle in question was auctioned and sold for €2,300, which places it below the €3,000 threshold clearly stated in our Claim Policy. As communicated transparently on our platform and in our Terms & Conditions, technical and bodywork claims are not eligible for vehicles below this value, regardless of the nature of the defect.

In addition, our records show that:

The vehicle was delivered on 14/11/2025

The claim was submitted on 13/01/2026, well outside the claim window defined in Article 10.2.2 of our Terms & Conditions

These rules apply equally to all buyers and are designed to ensure fair and consistent handling of claims.

While we regret that the vehicle did not meet your expectations and that repair costs turned out to be high, we must also note that repairs were undertaken despite our explicit instruction to wait for the claim investigation to be completed.

We remain committed to transparency and fairness and encourage all buyers to familiarize themselves with our Claim Policy and Terms & Conditions prior to purchase to avoid misunderstandings.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

First and last experience with OPENLANE – rigid handling and lack of accountability

This was our first experience with the OPENLANE platform and, unfortunately, the way it was handled has determined us not to continue any future collaboration.
We purchased a Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé that was listed with certain driver assistance features, which represented an important factor in our purchasing decision. Upon delivery and following subsequent checks, we discovered that some of these features were not actually present on the vehicle, despite being mentioned in the listing. Furthermore, during use, we identified additional discrepancies, indicating that this was not an isolated issue.
We formally notified OPENLANE in a correct and well-documented manner, expecting a proportional and situation-specific solution. Unfortunately, the entire approach was strictly procedural, with no real willingness to assess the concrete circumstances of the case.
We were informed that:
a return of the vehicle would not be considered,
the discrepancies were deemed “minor” regardless of their number,
the only possible solution was a standard voucher, applicable exclusively to future purchases.
Although we requested an escalation and a review at a higher decision-making level, we were advised that no such level exists and that the company’s position is “final”.
We fully understand the B2B framework in which OPENLANE operates. Precisely for this reason, we expected greater flexibility, accountability, and commercial balance, rather than a rigid application of internal policies, irrespective of context or client impact.
This experience has led us to evaluate and choose other similar platforms available on the market, which we consider viable alternatives and, in our view, more oriented toward long-term partnership.
In conclusion, this was a disappointing experience, handled in a manner that does not inspire confidence. We believe it is important for other professionals to be aware of how such situations are managed, in order to make an informed decision before engaging with OPENLANE.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and considered review. We genuinely regret that your first experience with OPENLANE did not meet your expectations and that it has led you to decide against any future collaboration. We fully understand how disappointing this must be, especially when specific vehicle features played a key role in your purchasing decision.

We acknowledge your frustration regarding the driver assistance features mentioned in the listing and later found to be missing, as well as your feeling that the handling of your case was overly rigid and insufficiently tailored to the concrete circumstances. While our teams assess claims according to defined policies to ensure consistency and equal treatment, we recognise that, in your case, this approach did not provide the level of flexibility or commercial balance you expected.

It is also clear from your feedback that the communication around escalation and decision-making left you feeling unheard and without meaningful options. That is not the experience we aim to deliver, and we regret that the solution proposed — limited to a standard voucher for future purchases — did not feel proportionate or satisfactory to you.

Your comments are particularly valuable because they highlight an important point: beyond procedures and policies, professional partnerships are built on trust, accountability, and the feeling that specific situations are genuinely understood. We take this feedback seriously and will use it to reflect internally on how we can improve our approach in complex or borderline cases.

We are sorry that this experience did not inspire confidence and thank you for expressing your concerns in such a constructive manner. We wish you every success with your future purchases and partnerships.

Kind regards,
The OPENLANE Europe Team
