Sell a car as salvage
Salvaging your vehicle is a profitable alternative to scrapping it.

Don't worry, it's just as easy to salvage your vehicle with Scrap Car Comparison!

Sell a van or commercial vehicle
When your company vehicle reaches the end of its service life, selling it is simple with Scrap Car Comparison. Whether it’s a van, truck, or bus that’s no longer reliable, it might be time for an upgrade. Scrapping your commercial vehicle through our service is just as easy as selling a regular car, offering a smooth, hassle-free process from start to finish.
How to scrap a car in Westminster
1. Get a quote
Simply enter your vehicle details into our online form (or give us a quick call), and we’ll give you an instant quote. This initial offer is based on your car’s scrap value but if it’s lower than expected, your vehicle might qualify as salvage, which could mean a much higher payout! When prompted, just provide a few extra details about your car, and we’ll see if it can be sold for salvage, potentially earning you significantly more than the standard scrap price.
2. Provide more details
Providing a bit of extra information about your vehicle can really help increase its valuation and get you better offers from our buyers! The more details you share, the more accurate and competitive your quote will be. Therefore, it’s definitely worth spending a few extra minutes on it. We may ask about the condition of key components like the engine, gearbox, or wheels, but don’t worry; our system is designed to be simple and user-friendly. You don’t need to be a mechanic to understand it!
3. Arrange collection
Once you’ve accepted an offer, you can arrange the collection of your car for a time and location that works best for you. Just make sure you pick a spot that’s accessible for the recovery truck. If your car is at a garage or somewhere other than your driveway, that’s no problem! We can collect it from there too! After the pickup is complete, your payment will be processed and sent directly to your bank account, making the entire process quick, easy, and hassle-free.

What are the scrap car prices in Westminster
Scrap cars in Westminster are valued the same way we value them all over the UK. It’s the metal that’s important, so the weight of your vehicle is a primary factor in determining what it’s worth as scrap. Why is the metal important? Simply put, when it’s crushed the buyer will be left with a large chunk of scrap metal which they’ll then sell. Heavy vehicles are made from more metal. This is why it can be very lucrative to scrap an old van!
What happens to scrap cars?
Scrap cars are recycled, as per government regulations. The car will be broken down and returned to its raw materials, which will then likely end up being used again in the manufacturing of new vehicles.
What's the difference between scrap and salvage?
Scrap cars are sent to the scrapyard in their entirety and scrapped as they are. Salvage vehicles, however, will have any reusable components removed first. If you have parts that could be sold on elsewhere or used to repair other vehicles, you could sell your car as salvage and possibly get an even better price.
Can I scrap an insurance write-off?
Of course you can! MOT failures and insurance write-offs are some of the most common vehicles we see come through our system. Just get in touch, explain the situation and we’ll find you a great price. No car is too damaged to be sold with Scrap Car Comparison!
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.
