How to delete a vehicle
If you recently got a new car, you should add a new vehicle and archive the old vehicle instead of deleting the old one. That way you can start fresh but won't lose your old logbook.
Please note
If you want to delete the vehicle, you will need to archive the vehicle first. You can’t delete a vehicle without first clearing its trip history. Please note that deleting a vehicle is irreversible.
To archive your old vehicle, please check out our guides:
