What is a dealer doc fee?

Created by Ruth Hogan, Modified on Mon, 7 Feb, 2022 at 10:53 AM by Matt Copenhaver

Dealerships charge car buyers a documentation fee, or "doc fee," to cover the cost of preparing and filing the sales contract and other paperwork. 


Doc fees vary state to state, and dealership to dealership.
