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.

Quick, easy, great service, decent price.
Organised it to be collected, driver (Tony) was in contact throughout the collection day to keep me posted. 10 minutes and I was paid and he was gone! Great service, Tony was very friendly and efficient. Definitely will use this service again in the future, been with WeBuyAnyCar a few times and for convenience, this blows them out of the water (all circumstantial of course). Couldn’t have asked for more, really helpful.

Outstanding service A*****
The process was very straightforward, the vehicle was collected on the day agreed - I received a call when the driver was 30 minutes away. The driver 'Darren' was knowledgeable and a complete professional. All inspections carried out, documents sorted and on his pick up in under 30 minutes. The money was processed to my bank very shortly after. Will definitely recommend and would not hesitate using your company again.

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.

Scrap my car in Hoddesdon FAQs

How much is my scrap car worth in Hoddesdon?
Dropdown Icon

The average price paid in Hoddesdon for a scrap car is £281, although your final price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices and whether it has more value as salvage than pure scrap. For a live figure based on all current data, get a quote in less than 30 seconds, simply by entering your postcode and registration.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Hoddesdon?
Dropdown Icon

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Hoddesdon. You can nominate someone else to meet the driver, but they must be over 18 and have the required documents plus permission to release the vehicle. So, if you want to pop down to The White Swan, instead of waiting for us, then you can.

Can I scrap a car without a V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

It is possible to scrap a car without a V5C logbook in many situations. Typically, you will need photo ID and proof of address, and additional documents such as MOT certificates or service history can support ownership verification, although the process may take a little longer before collection is arranged.

Can I keep my private number plate before scrapping?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can usually keep your private number plate before scrapping, but you must apply to retain or transfer it before the vehicle is processed. Use the DVLA website or a V317 form to complete the retention or transfer. The registration must be removed before the Certificate of Destruction is issued.

Do I need to provide keys for my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and won't prevent collection or change the quoted price. After all, the vehicle can be loaded using specialist equipment. It's more the condition of the car that matters to us, not whether you've got the keys to hand.

What documents do I need to scrap my car in Hoddesdon?
Dropdown Icon

To scrap your car in Hoddesdon, you’ll usually need your V5C log book, plus a photo ID and proof of address, with full information available on our V5C log book page. If you don’t have the V5C, you can still proceed in many cases, and we’ll help manage the paperwork for a compliant transfer.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register, so you can relax.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, sadly not. If there is any outstanding finance, it usually needs to be paid off or approved by the finance company before the vehicle can be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so it’s best to check with them first. Once that’s in place, we’ll guide you through the next step.

Which areas of Hoddesdon do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

Basically everywhere! We cover all postcodes within Hoddesdon, including areas such as Rye Park, Hoddesdon town centre, homes near Essex Road and properties by Dinant Link Road. Free collection is available from any address, and we also cover the surrounding parts of the wider area, including nearby Broxbourne. The best thing is to pop in your registration and your postcode and let us do the rest.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 means cash payments for scrap vehicles aren't allowed. The quoted price is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions, so you'll know exactly what you're receiving before the vehicle is taken away. This is why Car.co.uk is one of the most trusted car recycling services in the UK.
