Is your old car just sitting in the driveway, collecting dust and rust? Instead of letting it take up space, it might be time to turn that unused vehicle into instant cash. In the UAE, scrapping your car is not only a smart decision but also a straightforward legal process when done with the right professionals. At Scrap My Car UAE, we make this journey hassle-free, legal, and rewarding.

Here’s your complete guide to legally scrapping your car in the UAE—and getting paid on the spot!

Why Scrap Your Old Car?

Whether your vehicle is too old, broken down, or simply no longer roadworthy, there are plenty of reasons to consider scrapping it:

✅ Avoid repair costs: Older cars often need expensive repairs that aren't worth the value.
✅ Free up space: Clear your garage or parking area.
✅ Legal peace of mind: Avoid fines or issues with expired registration.
✅ Instant money: Get paid immediately upon pickup.
✅ Eco-friendly disposal: Reduce environmental waste with responsible recycling.

Legal Requirements for Scrapping a Car in the UAE

To legally scrap your car in the UAE, here are the steps you must follow:

1. Ensure You Have Ownership Documents

You must either be the registered owner of the vehicle or have the proper authorization to scrap it. Required documents include:

Emirates ID
Vehicle registration card (Mulkiya)
Power of attorney (if scrapping on behalf of someone else)

2. Clear Any Pending Fines

Before a car can be scrapped, all fines and loans must be cleared. You can check and pay fines via the RTA website or app.

3. Cancel the Registration

Car registration needs to be officially canceled with the RTA (Roads and Transport Authority). This is essential to avoid future liabilities.

When you work with Scrap My Car UAE, we can handle this for you or guide you through the process.

4. Choose a Licensed Scrap Dealer

Only work with authorized scrap buyers like Scrap My Car UAE. Dealing with unlicensed vendors may result in legal issues or improper disposal.
