Car wrapping costs: the price for a new look
Are you considering wrapping your car? Then read here to find out what the costs are and what to consider. Car wrapping offers an affordable alternative to paintwork and gives your car a fresh look in no time. Prices vary, but with the right information, you can make the best choice for your budget and needs.
What does car wrapping cost?
Car wrapping is generally more cost-effective than repainting your car. Prices for wrapping a car vary between €500 and €5,000. Keep in mind that the quality of the film used varies between these price ranges. For a high-quality carwrap, you can expect to pay between €1,500 and €2,000, with an entire car being wrapped. If you opt for the very best quality, you can come across prices between €3,500 and €5,000. For wrapping just the rims, the cost is usually lower.
Is your car wrap insured?
A carwrap is considered a later applied accessory to your car. It is important to note that accessories added after the factory need to be insured separately. Some insurers cover accessories up to €3,000 as standard. If the wrap has a higher value, you can increase this amount to €5,000 or €10,000. Make sure to include the wrap as an accessory when calculating your car insurance premium and also report the new colour to the RDW, as it will be listed on your registration certificate.
Impact on car value
Wrapping a car does not necessarily increase its value. However, it helps protect the existing paint job, which can result in preserving the value compared to a non-wrapped car.
Considerations for car wrapping
Wrapping your car has its advantages and disadvantages. It is advisable to weigh these carefully and decide what is most suitable for your situation and budget.
