How to Sell Your Scrap Car in Dubai?

Before you sell your old, scrap car, you will need to notify if you want to transfer your private number plate either to another car or retain it for when you buy another. This is now a relatively straightforward process that can be completed entirely online.
The buyer advises selling your existing vehicle not to begin the process of selling until you have transferred your private number plate over because, in this instance, you will lose your private number plate.
Remember to call your insurance provider and let them know about any changes to your policy, even if they are temporary.

Wipe Out Your Personal Information
You should prepare your car for goodbye after setting an agreement for buying the car. It does not have to be said that you can take away your personal stuff and take the last selfie with an old motor.
However, it is probably not too early to forget about wiping personal information from the car's computer. It may become pretty convenient for you to keep all the details in there; however, with a sale, the same details may turn unsecured. Don't freak out; you can clear the data from your car just as you would your home computer or your smartphone.
Arrange Your Documentation
You are still the lawfully accepted owner of the car in case you fail to complete this stage, so it is probably the most important part of the process of selling a car. Here is a simple guide on how to inform.
Another brilliant benefit of selling your old, used, damaged car is getting a rebate on any unused car tax! It's very easy to rectify but you don't want to miss out on any opportunities to contact the RTA(Road and Transport Authority). Let's help you if you are not sure where to begin.
Cancel the Insurance Policy
Naturally, you wouldn't want to pay for coverage when you do not need it, so do not forget to cancel your auto insurance. All that needs to be done is a phone call to your insurance company to ask them to stop the monthly payments; then, they will automatically handle the rest of the process in-house.
Keep Your Documents Safe
You have to confirm that the ownership of the vehicle has been transferred to someone. It is a piece of paper you would like to carry with you forever. If your car has been sent for scrapping and you have received a certificate of destruction, then you should carry this document with you forever and ever. We know this is a bunch of paperwork to carry at home, but it is proof that you are no longer in charge of the car.
