Scrap car services in Hertford
Enjoy a wide range of scrap and salvage vehicle services in Hertford, such as:
Scrap your car
The base of our service since we started - we can get the very best price for your scrap car in your area. By using our extensive network of specialists, we can not only get you a price instantly, but an unbeatable one at that!
Sell a car as salvage
Not all cars are destined to go straight to the scrap pile. If your car still has reusable parts it could be sold as salvage - an industry term for 'spares and repairs'. These parts will be removed to be sold on again, potentially boosting your offers as a result.
Sell a damaged car
Damaged vehicles don’t need to be hard sells. By using our service, you can guarantee a sale within days without the fear of dealing with hagglers or time-wasters. Our buyers are always looking for cars, and yours could be next.
Sell a van or commercial vehicle
We don’t just help car owners find scrap or salvage buyers. If you’ve got a van or even something larger, our service is just as fast and lucrative. We can even help with fleet disposal.
How to scrap a car in Hertford
1. Get a quote
Use our online quote generator to find your initial prices based on the vehicle's rate and current rate for scrap metal. We'll then get in touch to find some more details on your car and see if we can find a more accurate price.
2. Provide more details
Our call is your chance to boost your offers. Be as detailed as possible, but more importantly be accurate as while your offer is guaranteed it remains subject to inspection upon collection. Once you're happy with an offer, we'll lock that in and put you in touch with our collection specialists.
3. Collection and payment
Once you've agreed a time our agents will come out to you to pick up your car. Once it's safely loaded up - following a brief inspection - your money will be transferred directly into your bank account.

What are the scrap car prices in Hertford?
Every scrap car price we offer is calculated by how heavy your car is and the current value of scrap metal. This is because a scrap car is effectively just a large lump of scrap metal, and this is where the buyers get their return on investment. We’ll calculate the best price you can get in and around the Hertford area and the rest of Hertfordshire.
What happens to scrap cars?
All scrap cars are required by law to be recycled. The vast majority of materials from scrap vehicles are often used again in the manufacturing process of new cars. This means that by scrapping your old car, you’re helping another to be built!
How does salvaging differ to scrapping?
When a car is salvaged, it is stripped for all usable parts and sold as spares and repairs. Selling as salvage can potentially get you a better price than scrapping, as buyers see a larger return on investment.
Can I scrap a broken, damaged car, or one without a valid MOT?
Any car, no matter the damage it may have, can be scrapped. If your car has no current MOT or even if it’s been deemed an insurance write off, our service means you only get the very best quotes. We have a network of specialist collectors at our fingertips, meaning we can come and get your car absolutely free of charge.
How do I get the best price for my car?
Many older or written-off cars aren’t destined for the scrap heap. Some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Ensure you describe the car’s condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees—our quotes always include free collection.
But the single most important factor to getting the very best price for your scrap car is to speak directly with one of our advisors! After you accept a quote online, we'll give you a call to confirm details and schedule collection. Use this call to share any info that might boost your offer and get the highest payout possible.
Are you prices really guaranteed?
Salvage quotes depend on the car’s condition, not just its weight. Accurately describing the vehicle ensures the highest price and prevents later adjustments. Misrepresentation can result in lower offers.
