How Scrap Car Pickup Works in the UAE – What to Expect on Collection Day!

Scrapping a car in the UAE has never been easier—thanks to services like Scrap My Car UAE, which offer fast, convenient, and professional scrap car pickup. But if you’ve never scrapped a car before, you might be wondering: What actually happens on collection day? What do you need to prepare? How does it all work?

In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the scrap car pickup process in the UAE—step by step.

🚗 Why People Scrap Their Cars in the UAE

Before diving into the pickup process, it's worth understanding why people scrap their vehicles in the first place. Common reasons include:

• Accident-damaged vehicles

• Old or non-functional cars

• Vehicles that failed RTA inspection

• Costly repairs that exceed car value

• Upgrading to a newer vehicle

Whether your car is sitting idle in a parking lot or collecting dust in your garage, scrapping is a simple and rewarding option.

📝 Step 1: Request a Free Car Valuation

It all starts with a quick car evaluation.

At Scrap My Car UAE, you can request a free quote by:

• Filling out a form on scrapmycarUAE.com

• Messaging us on WhatsApp at 055 745 83 22

• Sending details like the make, model, year, and condition of the car

You'll receive an instant quote with no obligation to proceed. Once you accept the offer, it’s time to book your pickup appointment.

🕒 Step 2: Schedule a Pickup Time That Suits You

Unlike traditional scrap yards that require you to drive your car to them (if it even starts), Scrap My Car UAE brings convenience to your doorstep.

We’ll work around your schedule to:

• Set a date and time that works best for you

• Confirm your location anywhere in the UAE

• Assign a professional team to your case

Even if your car is parked in an underground basement or on a street with limited access, we’ve got the tools to handle it.

📄 Step 3: Prepare the Required Documents

Here’s what you'll need to present on pickup day:

• Emirates ID (original or copy)

• Vehicle registration card (Mulkiya) – if available

• Proof of ownership (if the car is not under your name, written permission may be needed)

Don’t worry if your documents are incomplete—our team will guide you through alternative verification methods.

🚚 Step 4: Car Pickup – What Happens on the Day

Here’s the moment you've been waiting for!

🔧 What You Can Expect:

• A professional towing team will arrive at the scheduled time.

• The car will be inspected to match the condition described.

• Documents will be reviewed and signed off.

• You’ll receive cash on the spot or a bank transfer—your choice.

🏗 How It’s Done:

• If the car is drive able, it may be driven onto the truck.

• If not, a hydraulic lift or winch will be used.

• The team handles everything safely and quickly—usually under 30 minutes.

It’s efficient, hassle-free, and requires no lifting or effort from your side.

💰 Step 5: Get Paid Instantly

Once your car is secured, you’ll receive instant payment in your preferred method—cash or transfer.

Unlike dealers who delay or haggle, Scrap My Car UAE believes in fair prices and fast payments. No waiting. No guesswork.

♻️ Step 6: Eco-Friendly Disposal & De-registration

After pickup:

• Your car is taken to an authorized recycling facility.

• Valuable parts are recovered and reused or sold.

• Hazardous materials are safely disposed of.

• The car is de-registered with the RTA (if required), and we can assist with the paperwork if needed.

You’ll receive confirmation that your car has been scrapped legally and responsibly.

🧠 Pro Tips Before Collection Day

Here are a few things to do before our team arrives:

• Remove personal items from the car.

• Take out toll tags or parking permits.

• Cancel insurance if applicable.

• Double-check the glove compartment and trunk.

It’s also a good idea to take a few photos of the car for your personal records.

🛑 What If I Don’t Have the Keys or Paperwork?

Don’t worry—we’ve handled it all before.

Scrap My Car UAE can:

• Arrange pickup for keyless or non-starting cars

• Help with lost registration cards

• Advise on scrapping a car not under your name (with proof or consent)

Just give us the details, and we’ll offer the best solution.
