Scrap your car and keep every rebate

If your COE is near expiry or the repair bill no longer makes sense, we quote the body value, claim your PARF and COE rebates, and handle deregistration with LTA.

    How it works

    From enquiry to deregistration in three steps

    01

    Send us the car details

    Plate number and access code are enough. We check the COE expiry, PARF eligibility and current scrap metal value before quoting.

    Under 1 minute

    02

    We quote body value plus rebates

    Scrapyards and exporters bid for the car. You see one clear figure: what the body is worth, plus the PARF and COE rebates you are entitled to.

    Within 24 hours

    03

    We tow, deregister and pay

    Free towing from anywhere in Singapore. We file the deregistration with LTA and the rebates are paid out to you, not absorbed into the offer.

    Same week

    Your options

    Scrap, export, or deregister for rebates

    Not every end-of-life car should go to the scrapyard. We tell you which route pays more before you commit.

    Scrap the car

    The car goes to an LTA-approved scrapyard, is dismantled, and you receive the body value together with any PARF and COE rebates.

    Best for: cars past economical repair

    Export overseas

    Cars still in running condition are often worth more to an overseas buyer than to a scrapyard. Rebates stay the same; the body fetches more.

    Best for: running cars with COE expiring

    Deregister early

    If you no longer need the car, deregistering early releases the PARF rebate, remaining COE rebate, road tax and insurance refunds.

    Best for: releasing cash from an idle car

    What you get back

    Four refunds people forget to claim

    Deregistering a car releases more than the metal value. We calculate each of these and show them in the quote.

    • PARF rebate — payable if the car is deregistered before it turns ten years old, based on the original registration fee.

    • COE rebate — the unused portion of your COE, pro-rated to the day of deregistration.

    • Road tax refund — any full months remaining are refunded by LTA once the car is deregistered.

    • Insurance refund — the unused premium on your policy, claimed directly from your insurer.

    FAQ

    Scrapping a car, answered

    Our consultants answer the hotline 24 hours a day if your question is not here.

    Should I scrap or sell my car?

    If the car still runs and has usable COE left, selling or exporting almost always pays more than scrapping. We quote both routes so you can compare the actual numbers before deciding.

    Two parts: the body value, which depends on the make, weight and condition, and the rebates tied to the car, which are set by LTA. We show both separately.

    Yes. They belong to the registered owner. We claim them as part of the deregistration and they are paid to you on top of the body value.

    Yes, free island-wide, including for cars that can no longer be driven. We arrange a time that suits you.

    Your NRIC, the vehicle log card and your road tax and insurance details. If there is outstanding finance, we will need the loan statement to settle it from the proceeds.
