What Fees Are Included in an Out-the-Door Price?

An out-the-door price is designed to show every required fee upfront so you know the true cost of the car.

Common required fees

Sales tax, title and registration fees, and dealer documentation fees are typically required.

These fees should appear in any legitimate OTD quote.

Add-ons like VIN etching, protection packages, and accessories may be optional.

Always ask whether these fees are required.

They may be standard at a dealership, but the vehicle price can often be adjusted.

It's usually easier to negotiate the total out-the-door number.
