Excellent service from start to finish
Excellent service from start to finish. Selected the exact day I wanted the vehicle picking up. Had a message on day of collection saying the drivers name and that he was on his way. Within no time he was here and very friendly and professional. Car was loaded and within 2 minutes of paperwork completed the money was in my account.

They do what they say they do. Excellent.
I was contacted well in advance regarding the collection of my vehicle. Steve the driver phoned me and asked if he could collect sooner than booked. This was OK with me. When he arrived he was friendly and courteous and because of the advanced notification, gave me time to have everything ready for the handover. The money was transferred to my account within minutes. A great service and one that I would recommend to anyone wanting to dispose of a vehicle.

Highly recommend - 10/10 service
Whole process was really easy and completely fuss free from start to finish. Entered my postcode and registration online and was given a price straight away without having to sign up to anything. The price offered was better than anywhere else. Selected a date and time that suited me for collection and booked in a matter of minutes. Really clear information was given about the collection process via email. Collection day arrived and the guy who came was really friendly. Quick check of the car, loaded onto the truck and received the money within minutes. I would highly recommend this company as it was so easy, no hidden terms and conditions and an all round great experience.

As soon as your car has been collected, you will receive quick payment via bank transfer to your chosen account. Your car is taken to a local licensed Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), where the scrapping will commence in environmentally friendly conditions.

Scrap my car in Hemel Hempstead FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Hemel Hempstead?
The average price paid in Hemel Hempstead for a scrap car is £262. Your final price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether the vehicle has salvageable parts rather than scrap-only value. Check your scrap car value online in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Hemel Hempstead?
You do not have to be present on collection day, but you must nominate another adult to hand over the vehicle if you are not going to be. They will need access to the car plus the pre-agreed paperwork and identification details.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and other supporting records such as MOT certificates or service history. The process is usually quicker and simpler if you do have a V5C logbook, though.
Which areas of Hemel Hempstead do you cover?

Collection is free from addresses across Apsley, Boxmoor, Bennetts End, Leverstock Green, Berkhamsted, St Albans, Watford and Tring, and the list above isn't exhaustive, so enter your full postcode to confirm coverage and get a scrap quote.
Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Yes, but conditions apply, and you'll need to show that you have authority or a legitimate reason for possession. Written permission from the registered keeper is best, while situations such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate may need your ID plus supporting papers like a will, gift letter or statutory declaration.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Hemel Hempstead?
You need photo ID and proof of address to scrap your car in Hemel Hempstead. A V5C log book will help move things along quickly, but it is not a necessity.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
If requested, we will issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, the certificate removes the previous owner from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
In most cases, you cannot scrap a car with outstanding finance. The only exception is if you have written permission from your lender; however, typically, you will need to settle your finance before proceeding.
Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Hemel Hempstead?
You can scrap electric vehicles, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids, mild hybrids, and all other fuel types, including battery electric vehicles, in Hemel Hempstead.
Do you accept commercial vehicles in Hemel Hempstead?
Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Hemel Hempstead, including panel vans, pick-ups and minibuses. The quote process stays the same, you enter the registration number and postcode, and many vans achieve a higher price than cars because their greater kerb weight usually means more recyclable metal.
