How to Sell Your Old Taxi in Delhi Fast – Step by Step 2026

Buy Sell Taxi Team·5 April 2026·5 min read

Selling a taxi in Delhi requires the right price, clean documents, and the right platform. Follow this step-by-step guide to sell your vehicle in days, not months.

Delhi has over 80,000 registered commercial vehicles. Buyers are actively looking — but they are also cautious. To sell your taxi fast and at a fair price, you need to be prepared with the right documentation, honest pricing, and quality photos.

Step 1: Get Your Documents Ready

Buyers in Delhi will immediately ask for documents. Having everything in order signals that you are a serious seller and speeds up the transaction significantly.

  • Original RC Book with your name as current owner
  • Valid fitness certificate (check expiry — renew if within 3 months of expiry)
  • Commercial permit (valid and covering the operating zone)
  • Insurance certificate (valid, commercial policy)
  • PUC certificate (must be current)
  • Loan NOC from the bank if vehicle was financed
  • Service history booklet if available — adds significant value

Step 2: Price It Right

Overpricing is the #1 reason taxis stay unsold for months in Delhi. Check similar listings on Buy Sell Taxi and OLX to understand the current market. As a rough guide for 2026: deduct ₹50,000–₹80,000 for each year of age from the ex-showroom price, and an additional ₹10,000–₹15,000 for every 50,000 km above 1 lakh km.

Step 3: Clean and Photograph the Vehicle

Listings with photos sell 3x faster than those without. Get the vehicle washed at any detailing shop in Mayur Vihar or Rohini. Take photos in daylight from all 4 sides, the interior, dashboard, engine bay, and the odometer. Highlight any recent repairs or new parts fitted.

Step 4: List on Buy Sell Taxi

Buy Sell Taxi is India's dedicated taxi marketplace. Listing is free and your vehicle reaches serious commercial vehicle buyers across Delhi NCR — not general car buyers who are not your target audience. BST Verified listings get even higher visibility with an inspection badge.

Step 5: Handle the Transfer at Delhi RTO

Once you find a buyer, complete the RC transfer at the relevant Delhi RTO office. Key offices for commercial vehicles in Delhi are: Burari Road RTO (North Delhi), Sarai Kale Khan RTO (South Delhi), Mayur Vihar RTO (East Delhi), and Janakpuri RTO (West Delhi). The transfer must be completed within 30 days of the sale.
