Great service
I recently had my old car collected and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, everything was handled smoothly and I was kept informed throughout the whole process. The driver, Roy, was excellent – really friendly, professional, and informative, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The payment was transferred instantly upon collection, which was a huge plus. Overall, a fantastic service and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to scrap their car.

What happens after we collect your scrap car in Hertford?
When we collect your car, the driver will perform a few basic checks to ensure the vehicle matches the paperwork. If this is okay, we will tow your scrap vehicle to a nearby Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF), and make payment to you via bank transfer to your chosen account.
Upon arrival at the ATF, additional checks will be conducted, during which the condition of your vehicle will be evaluated before the environmentally friendly scrapping process begins. Up first is depollution, in which a team of professional technicians removes all hazardous materials and fluids from your vehicle. Following that, the team will dismantle and strip your vehicle of reusable and valuable parts before the remaining shell is crushed.
Scrap my car in Hertford FAQs
How much is my scrap car worth in Hertford?
The average price paid in Hertford for a scrap car is £265, but your quoted price will be unique to you and based on several factors, including your vehicle's weight and the current value of scrap metal. You can check live scrap car prices and get a quote in under 30 seconds.
Do I need to be present for the collection in Hertford?
You don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Hertford. You can nominate someone aged 18 or over to meet the driver instead, but they will need photo ID, access to the vehicle, and any agreed paperwork.
Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting papers such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership.
Do you accept commercial vehicles in Hertford?
We accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Hertford, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. Many vans achieve a higher price than cars because of their greater kerb weight.
Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Yes, you can keep your private number plate before the car is scrapped. You'll need to retain my reg through the DVLA first, either online or with a V317 form, because the registration must be moved to retention or transferred to another vehicle before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.
What documents do I need to scrap my car in Hertford?
You'll need photo ID and proof of address to scrap your car in Hertford. A V5C logbook is also useful, but we can usually proceed without one.
Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing.
Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
All outstanding finance must be settled unless the finance company gives written consent for the vehicle to be scrapped.
Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Hertford?
Car.co.uk accepts all fuel types, including battery electric vehicles, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids, and mild hybrids. EVs and hybrids are processed through an authorised treatment facility, where battery removal and handling follow vehicle disposal regulations, ensuring the vehicle is dismantled safely and in compliance.
What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled for metal value under the ELV directive, while salvaging means it still has enough value to be sold whole or broken for usable parts, often after an insurance write-off. Car.co.uk assesses both routes and chooses the outcome that returns the best price for the owner.
