Can I drive a salvage vehicle home?

No, it is not legally permissible to drive a salvage vehicle on public roads until it has been properly reconstructed and inspected.

What You Need to Know

• Salvage vehicles must be towed from the auction or pickup location to your desired address.
• The vehicle must undergo a state-approved reconstruction process, which typically includes:
• Completing all necessary repairs
• Passing a reconstruction or safety inspection
• Obtaining a new title (often marked as Rebuilt Salvage)

When Is It Road Legal?

• Only after the reconstruction process is completed and the vehicle is successfully registered and insured can it be legally driven on public roads.
