Listing rules

Autonio is a marketplace for cars, motorhomes, caravans and trailers. Every listing must be true, complete and current: the photographed and described vehicle must exist, be available for sale and match the stated condition.

The same rules apply to every type of vehicle. Mileage, fuel and transmission are given only for vehicles with an engine; caravans and trailers have none.

A business advertising a new passenger car (at most 2,000 km) states its consumption, CO₂ emissions and energy efficiency category as shown on the vehicle’s energy label for the current year. Autonio shows the category on the Swiss Federal Office of Energy’s official scale (Energy Efficiency Ordinance, EnEV).

• False or misleading details (mileage, first registration, accident-free status, equipment).
• Content that breaks laws or violates third-party rights (others’ photos or texts, trademark abuse).
• Third-party personal data as well as chassis numbers (VIN) and addresses in texts or photos.
• Discriminatory, insulting or immoral content.

Upload only photos of the actual vehicle – no catalogue, stock or AI-generated images to represent its condition. We recommend obscuring number plates before upload; it is not required.

All prices are final prices in Swiss francs: they include VAT and every surcharge a buyer cannot opt out of (Price Indication Ordinance, PIO). Businesses may also state that VAT is deductible on the invoice. Bait prices and hidden surcharges are prohibited.

• No financing, leasing or insurance offers as listings – the first version has no category for them.
• No duplicate listings for the same vehicle and no confusion about private vs. business sale.
• Commercial trading runs through a business account, not a private one.

Depending on severity, violations lead to rejection, removal or blocking of listings and accounts. Third-party reports are reviewed in the moderation queue; a report alone removes no listing. Questions: contact.
