KSAplate.com Reveals Hidden Asset Most Saudis Lose When Scrapping Their Car

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Aug. 12, 2026 - PRLog -- Every year, thousands of Saudi vehicles reach the end of the road. Most owners head to the tashlih yard, deregister the car, and walk away — unknowingly abandoning an asset that frequently outvalues the vehicle itself.

KSAplate.com has published a comprehensive guide to help Saudi car owners navigate end-of-life vehicle procedures without losing their license plate. The guide covers the full sequence: the repair-versus-scrap arithmetic, the tashlih yard process, proper deregistration to eliminate liability, and the critical step most owners miss — retaining the plate.

"The car ends. The plate doesn't," said Faisal Al-Otaibi, founder of KSAplate.com. "In our marketplace, the median two-digit plate sells for approximately SAR 42,500. Single-digit plates have fetched over SR 21 million at government auctions. Yet most owners treat this asset as disposable because no one told them otherwise."

The guide also clarifies how to legally retain a plate during deregistration and transfer it to a new vehicle — or monetize it by listing on KSAplate.com. The platform connects verified sellers with buyers across 20+ Saudi cities, with all ownership transfers completed through the official ABSHER platform.

Unlike general classifieds, KSAplate.com is built exclusively for license plates. Sellers list for a flat SAR 29 fee with zero commission, while buyers browse by city, digit count, letter combination, and price range.
