Motorist Covid 19 Circuit Breaker Scrap Car Deregistration Export
Once the COVID-19 “Circuit Breaker” campaign starts on 7 April 2020, car owners will have limited options to scrap their vehicles.

To curb the further spread of COVID-19, the Singapore Government has ordered non-essential services to suspend work activities from 7 April to 4 May 2020.

Although transportation and vehicle recovery services are not affected, used car dealers and exporters have been deemed non-essential in this current situation.

But what if your vehicle is due for deregistration during this period? According to LTA, owners will have two additional months to dispose of their deregistered vehicles. It includes owners who have recently deregistered their cars and those with their one-month disposal deadline approaching.

All LTA-authorised scrapyards, Export Processing Zones, and other vehicle exporters will not be open during this period.

Get the Highest Scrap Price for Your Vehicle

To ensure you receive the highest scrap price for your vehicle, we have pooled together our network of used car dealers, scrapyards, and exporters to help you expedite your deregistration process.

Through our online bidding platform, we can help you obtain the highest scrap value for your vehicle from our network of over 300 partners.

The best part of it is, you won’t need to leave your house until the official handover, which will be Monday, the day before the “circuit breaker” campaign kicks in.

If you would like to expedite the deregistration of your car, we will need you to submit a scrap enquiry to us before 6pm on 4 April 2020.

This gives our partners enough time to accurately bid for your vehicle before the suspension of their businesses.
