📝 Step-by-Step: How Car Deregistration & PARF Encashment Works in Singapore (2026)
To deregister a car in Singapore and claim your Unused COE + PARF Rebate from LTA (LTA OneMotoring Official Deregistration Guide), the vehicle must be disposed of through one of three LTA-approved channels within the stipulated deadline:
- LTA-Appointed Scrap Yards (physical crushing/scrapping in Singapore),
- LTA Export Processing Zones (EPZ) (pending overseas shipment within 12 months), or
- Direct Export with Bill of Lading (BL) and cargo clearance proof submitted to LTA.
DIY Deregistration vs Direct Exporter Cash Buyout: Which Pays More?
If you drive your car directly to a scrap yard yourself, you must arrange your own Singpass deregistration, tow truck (~S$60–S$100), road tax refund, and wait for LTA rebate encashment—and scrap yards often quote lower walk-in prices for individual owners.
By contrast, our Direct Exporter & Scrap Desk (CARTRIX CAPITAL PTE LTD) matches your vehicle against competing local body bidders and direct overseas container orders:
- Step 1 — Instant WhatsApp Valuation: Send your Access Code & Carplate along with your Model so we can verify your remaining tenure and PARF rebate (ARF ÷ 2) and quote our best export/scrap body price (all body price estimates are subject to viewing, condition, and mileage).
- Step 2 — Viewing & S$500 Deposit: Our valuation officer views the car at your convenience and places a S$500 deposit with a formal Deposit & Purchase Agreement.
- Step 3 — Full Balance Payment Upon Handover: On handover day, we pay the full agreed balance via PayNow/FAST bank transfer, handle all LTA OneMotoring deregistration and VPA paperwork, and submit official LTA disposal proof.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions (Singapore Car Deregistration, PARF & Export)
Does LTA's February 2026 PARF rebate cut (5%–30%, S$30,000 cap) affect my existing 2016–2025 car?
No! LTA's revised PARF schedule (5% to 30% of ARF, capped at S$30,000) ONLY applies to cars registered with COEs secured from the 2nd COE bidding exercise in February 2026 onwards (or registered on/after 13 Feb 2026 for non-bidding vehicles). If your car was registered in 2016, 2017, or anywhere up to the 1st February 2026 bidding exercise, you remain on the original 50%–75% PARF rebate schedule.
What is the difference between LTA Paper Value and Car Scrap / Export Body Value?
Your LTA Paper Value is the statutory government refund (Unused COE Rebate + PARF Rebate) returned by LTA when you deregister your car. Your Export / Scrap Body Value is the EXTRA cash (typically S$1,000 to S$6,800+ for popular 2016–2017 models) paid by a direct car exporter or scrap yard for the physical vehicle chassis, engine, and parts.
Why do you ask for my Access Code and Carplate for an exact quote?
Providing your Access Code and Carplate on WhatsApp allows our valuation desk (CARTRIX CAPITAL PTE LTD) to verify your exact LTA rebate and give you a firm buyout offer quickly. Please note that all body price estimates are subject to viewing, condition, and mileage.
Can I lock in my export body price today and hand over the car closer to my COE expiry date?
Yes. After a quick physical viewing, we can lock in your agreed buyout price with a S$500 deposit and formal agreement, and pay the full balance via PayNow/FAST transfer when you hand over the car.
What happens to my PARF rebate if I renew my COE for 5 years or 10 years?
If you renew your COE (either 5-year or 10-year PQP), your LTA PARF rebate is permanently forfeited (drops to S$0). That is why you should always compare your total cash-out value (PARF + Export Body Value) using our Scrap vs Renew COE Calculator before paying PQP.
