Abu Dhabi Off-Road Club Forums

I am just wondering what the procedure is for owning a second vehicle in Abu Dhabi.
I have checked on the police website and it doesn't mention anything about this so can anybody tell me what the procedure is?
It will be a second hand vehicle so I guess it is slightly different than the procedue for a new one yes?
Thanks guys.

To the best of my knowledge there is nothing special about owning a second vehicle.
I have 2 (both second hand) and the procedure was the same: arrange insurance, inspection at Muroor by seller, transfer of ownership with seller at Muroor (need employment certificate from your sponsor).

Cheers

Who owned a second hand car as a start, I can say definitely next car must be brand new coz of what he had that much trouble fixing / waiting for her at mechanics and workshops and spending lots of lsot money to get it move again.
anyways, nothing different to own a 2nd car. just they don't allow expatriates to own 3 cars.
good luck.

Yep agree with all above, I had 2 cars in my name for a while and there was no issue, just go to Muroor with all the paperwork and get it registered.

Andy....

It depends where you are registering, Abu Dhabi or Dubai.
In Abu Dhabi I think they ask for an employment certificate and they don't agree on 2 cars for some professions.
In Dubai it's quite simple, I have 2 registered cars, just with your passport copy and License you can register a second car (either first or second owner) on the same file number you already have, even in renewal they ask only for your license and insurance, simpler than Abu Dhabi.

Tell them its for the wife just got a license and needs experience.

They will sympathise with you.

Thanks guys, I was sure there was no difference in procedure but just needed to know about the paperwork needed.
So I just take what I took with me for my registration as normal. Great.
Why not own a second hand car Sherif? As long as it has been taken care of there is no issue I think.

May do that wasif, but she don't have a license so I will be giving myself bad karma.

Well buddy I just registered my car (it’s the second one in my name) and the maximum of cars should registered in the expat name is two cars only.
and they are not requesting any employment letter any more just they will check your passport & residence visa copy with insurance and inspection that’s all.
Mabrooook for the new car.

Bad idea

Xtreme u are correct

A bit OT but interesting. whenever I go to get my cars re regestered and they look up the system and say Sir you have 4000 D woth of speeding tickets to pay.

I go Damm must be my wife I'll never let her drive again and they immediately sympathise and do a 50 % reduction on the fines.

For future reference for members in a similar situation.

Waif.. immediately sympathise and do a 50 % reduction on the fines. I DON"T AGREE
Reduction can be done ONLY through the court judge which is a time wasting procedure it take a full day ....
