How much does it cost to scrap the car?
It is free to scrap the car in many municipalities. In some municipalities, you can pay a fee to get the car picked up. If there are parts of the car missing, such as a gearbox, engine or if the car is just an empty body, you may also pay a fee.
What happens to the car when it is scrapped?
It is good for the environment that car parts are utilized and reused. When you scrape your car, for example, the tires, balance weights, fuel tank, batteries, catalysts, brake oil, coolant and unlade airbags are recycled. Other things like oil filters, air conditioning refrigerants, engine oils, gearbox and steering system are safely destroyed.
What happens to car insurance?
When the Transport Agency receives information that you have submitted the car for scrapping, they will notify us and we will then remove your car insurance. If you have paid for an insurance period that is after the scrapping date, you will receive money back.
