Transportation

Most of the time, the owner of the car is the person who wants it to be moved from place to place. If, on the other hand, it happens that the removal of a vehicle owned by a third party must be demanded, the request must come from the competent party.

I. Authorization to remove a car owned by a third party

If a request is received for a vehicle/object owned by a third party to be removed from a private plot, the request must come from the person in charge of the plot in question, whether it is a registered owner or a tenant under a registered lease agreement or a housing association on behalf of the owners.

The person wishing to have the vehicle/item removed may be required to cover the minimal cost of transport and storage. This would only happen if the registered owner of the vehicle/part does not collect his property, fails to issue a payment challenge, or fails to sell the vehicle/part for minimum cost at a magistrate’s auction.

The minimum fee is according to the valid tariff of Vaka hf. each time. Transport costs, registration fee and three days storage. See https://vaka.is/bifreidaflutningar.
