Distinguished plates go live on Fared every minute

A live selection of plates listed for sale and auction — from the rare single-digit plate to a striking quad.

Plate types

From single to quad — every degree of distinction

Distinguished plates are classified by digit count and letter rarity. The fewer the digits, the higher the value — and the single-digit plate sits at the top.

Single-digit plates

One digit only — the rarest and most valuable class of all. A status symbol sought by serious collectors and investors.

310+ listed · from 50,000

Double-digit plates

Two standout digits — the sweet spot between rarity and price, and the most in-demand class for luxury vehicles.

1,940+ listed · from 10,000

Triple-digit plates

Three digits in repeated, sequential or mirrored patterns. The busiest category in the daily auctions.

8,600+ listed · from 3,000

Quad-digit plates

Four digits in eye-catching patterns like 1234, 7777 and 2020. A practical entry into the world of distinguished plates.

How Fared works

Four steps from listing to ownership transfer

Selling and buying plates is designed to stay clear and protected at every step.

01

List your plate

Enter the plate letters and numbers, its type (private, transport, motorcycle), city and asking price. Enable "negotiable" to receive offers.

02

Receive offers

Interested buyers send offers directly, and you can negotiate through in-app messaging until you reach the right price.

03

Escrow payment

The buyer transfers the amount to Fared's verified corporate account, where it is held until the transfer process completes.

04

Ownership transfer

The plate is transferred via the Absher platform within 72 hours, then funds are released to the seller. If it fails, the buyer is refunded in full.

Important: Fared's fee is 3% of the plate value plus a 50 plate shipping fee — paid by both the buyer and the seller. Separately, the buyer covers the government transfer fee of 1,030, which is paid to the relevant government authority and does not go to Fared. There is no charge for listing a plate or browsing auctions.

Why Fared

A platform built on trust before price

Because the distinguished plate market runs on large sums and mutual trust, every detail is designed to protect both sides.

Financial escrow

Funds are held in Fared's verified corporate bank account and released only once the plate ownership transfer is confirmed.

Transparent live auctions

A clear countdown, a bid history everyone can see, and instant outbid notifications. No phantom bids, no hidden offers.

Smart search & filters

Filter by type, city, digit count — single, double, triple, quad — and price range to find your plate in seconds.

In-app messaging

Negotiate with the buyer or seller without sharing your personal number. Every conversation stays documented in your account.

Wanted-plate alerts

Save the specification you're hunting for and get an instant alert the moment a matching plate is listed or a relevant auction opens.

A real price index

See actual average selling prices per category before you price your plate, so you sell at market value rather than guesswork.

Auctions

Enter the auction and win the plate

Distinguished plate auctions open daily. Bid from your phone and watch the countdown in real time.

Verified bidders

Every bidder passes identity verification before entering, so offers on plates are always serious.

Instant checkout on win

The moment the auction closes, the winner moves straight into secure payment and transfer.

Your safeguards

What protects you on every deal

Distinguished plates change hands for large sums between two people who have never met. Every commitment below is verifiable, not a promise.

Money is held, not forwarded

The amount sits in Fared's verified corporate bank account and is released only after plate ownership has actually transferred through Absher.

A stated 72-hour ceiling

If the transfer is not completed within 72 hours of the deal being confirmed, the buyer is refunded in full with nothing deducted.

Fees published up front

3% of the plate value plus SAR 50 shipping, charged only when a deal completes. No listing fee, no subscription, no clause that appears at the last step.

Auctions anyone can audit

The full bid history is visible and the closing time is published. Automatic extension removes any advantage from last-second bidding.

Identity checks before money moves

Listing, buying and bidding all require a verified account. Browsing stays open to everyone; financial commitment does not.

Negotiate without sharing your number

Every message stays inside the app and remains in your account as a documented record of the deal.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about buying and selling plates

How do I sell my distinguished plate on Fared?

Download the Fared app, tap "Add plate", enter the plate letters and numbers, its type, city and asking price, and enable "negotiable" if you want to receive offers. Your plate goes live to thousands of interested buyers immediately, and offers arrive inside the app.

What are the selling fees on Fared?

Fared charges 3% of the plate value plus a 50 plate shipping fee, added on completion of the deal. Both the buyer and the seller pay these fees.

Separately, the buyer covers the government transfer fee of 1,030, which is paid to the relevant government authority and does not go to Fared.

There is no fee for listing a plate or browsing auctions.

How are payment and ownership transfer guaranteed?

The buyer transfers the plate value to Fared's verified corporate bank account, where it is held in escrow. Once the seller confirms and the transfer completes through the Absher platform within a maximum of 72 hours, the funds are released to the seller.

If the transfer cannot be completed, the buyer is refunded in full.

What is the difference between single, double, triple and quad plates?

The classification is based on digit count: single has one digit and is the rarest and most valuable, double has two, triple has three, and quad has four.

The fewer the digits and the more distinctive the letters, the higher the market value of the distinguished plate.

How do I take part in a plate auction?

Open the auctions section in the app, choose the plate you want, and place your bid before the countdown ends. You get instant notifications when you are outbid, and when the auction closes the winner moves straight to secure payment.

Does Fared support all plate types?

Yes — Fared supports private, transport, motorcycle, bus and heavy-equipment plates, with advanced filters by type, city, digit count and price range.

Is the Fared app free?

Yes. Downloading the app, creating an account and browsing plates and auctions are completely free on the App Store and Google Play. Fees apply only when an actual sale completes.

Can I negotiate the price of a plate?

Yes. If the seller has enabled the "negotiable" option you can submit an offer. The seller can receive up to 5 purchase offers and pick the most suitable one, with in-app messaging available throughout.
