2. Provide more details
Want to make sure you're getting the best price? Let us know a few more details about your car's condition, such as its mileage, mechanical issues, and any parts still in good working order. This helps us check whether it could be sold for salvage rather than scrap, which often means a higher offer.

What documents do I need to scrap my car?
You’ll usually need your V5C logbook, along with photo ID and proof of address, when you scrap your car. If you don’t have your V5C, let us know when you get your quote and we’ll explain what else we can accept. We’ll also confirm collection details, including whether we need spare keys or service history.
Can I scrap my car without a V5C?
Yes, you can usually still scrap your car if you don’t have your V5C logbook. Just tell us it’s missing when you accept your quote and we’ll let you know what else we need, such as photo ID and proof of address. It’s still important to notify the DVLA in writing that you’ve sold or scrapped the car.
What if my car has outstanding finance?
If your car still has outstanding finance, it needs to be settled, or you need permission from the finance company, before it can be scrapped. This is because the finance company has a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends. Contact them first to check your options, then get in touch with us to arrange the next steps.
Do I get a road tax refund when I scrap my car?
Yes, you can get a refund on any full months of remaining road tax once you’ve told the DVLA your car has been scrapped. We handle the DVLA notification for you, which starts the refund process automatically. Any refund is paid directly to you by the DVLA, not by us.
How do I tell the DVLA I've scrapped my car?
You don’t need to do anything yourself, as we notify the DVLA on your behalf as soon as your car is collected. This officially removes your car from your name and stops your responsibility for it. If you request one, you’ll also receive a Certificate of Destruction for your records.
Do I get a Certificate of Destruction?
If you’ve requested one, you’ll receive a Certificate of Destruction once your car has been processed. This is your proof that the car has been scrapped legally and that you’re no longer responsible for it. We take care of the paperwork so you don’t have to.
Do I have to be there for the collection?
You do not need to be present if you are unavailable, and can nominate someone to represent you if necessary. The person representing you must be over the age of 18 with ID and proof of address. This is also the case if you are scrapping a car on behalf of someone else, such as an elderly relative or after a bereavement – although you must make this clear whilst getting a quote in this situation.
How do I get the best price for my car?
To get the best price, use a service like ours that provides both scrap and salvage quotes. Many older or written-off cars aren't destined for the scrap heap; some are salvaged for parts or even fully restored. Ensure you describe the car's condition accurately, as salvage buyers often pay more. Also, check for collection fees, as our quotes always include free collection.
Are your prices really guaranteed?
Yes. Once you accept a quote we lock the price in, so as long as the car matches the description you gave us, that's the price you'll be paid. 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 occasionally result in lower offers, however our team will let you know and share why.
