Abu Dhabi revamps vintage car registration system
New regulations for registering classic vehicles come into force from October 1
Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Police have announced that as of October 1, new regulations for registering classic vehicles will be implemented after the technical tests and issuance of the insurance policy.
Under the new registration system, classic vehicles will be classified into two categories. The first is for vehicles that can be driven on all roads for a one-year registration fee of Dh400 and a renewal fee of Dh350, provided that the vehicle has a 13-month insurance after passing the technical tests.
The second category covers vintage vehicles that are displayed at exhibitions and other events but not fit for use on roads. The registration of such vehicles requires an insurance policy and technical tests, in addition to a three-year registration fee of Dh1,100, or a renewal fee of Dh1,050.
The registration document for this category will clearly state ‘Not allowed on roads’. The vehicle must be moved only on a recovery truck specially designed for the purpose.
