Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price
Car.co.uk gave me a reasonable price to scrap my car, all the booking online was straightforward and they were able to collect it the next working day. The driver let me know exactly when he was coming and 2 minutes after he had arrived, the car was gone with no issues. He was very polite and friendly. No complaints :)

First class company
There's a very good reason why this company has such a high trust pilot rating, and it's not because of bots or ai fake reviews!! It's nice to leave a good review for a genuinely well run and professional outfit. Firstly , they offer the best price. Secondly , no sucking in of air or false advertising, put in reg, they give you a price, simple.... The pick up driver Shaun was very polite, concise and to the point. From begining to end a good experience, and a well deserved reputation.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

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 Havering FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Havering is £273. Your car value depends on weight, condition, metal rates and parts. Enter your registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare scrap car prices and decide whether the offer gives the best scrap car deal.

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

No, you do not need to be present when we collect the vehicle. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access, photo ID and documents. Tell us so the driver knows who will complete the handover and collection can proceed without delays.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You need photo ID, proof of address and evidence linking you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take longer before collection and secure payment are arranged safely.

Which areas of Havering do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we cover all Havering postcodes, including Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster, Rainham and surrounding neighbourhoods. Collection can be arranged from accessible homes, workplaces, garages or safe roadside locations. Enter your postcode during the quote process and available slots will be shown before booking.

Can I scrap a car that is not registered in my name?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, but conditions apply when the vehicle is not registered in your name. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you need a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate. Bring photo ID and supporting paperwork, such as a will, gift letter or statutory declaration, so ownership can be checked before collection is confirmed.

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

You need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to complete the sale. If it is missing, ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We explain what to prepare before collection, helping the handover stay recorded and compliant at your Havering address without delays or paperwork confusion.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued within seven days when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification removes the previous keeper from the register and ends all further legal responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance must be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender gives consent. The finance provider retains a legal interest, so contact it and check the agreement first. Once the balance or permission is resolved, you can complete the quote and collection process without ownership problems.

Can I scrap an electric or hybrid car in Havering?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, electric and hybrid cars are accepted in Havering, including battery-electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. Trained teams manage high-voltage systems, battery removal and recycling through licensed treatment processes. This keeps the end-of-life journey safe, documented and compliant from collection through depollution and material recovery at approved sites.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means a vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under end-of-life rules. Salvaging means it has enough value to be resold or broken for parts. Car.co.uk assesses both routes, so the vehicle can follow the option giving the owner a better return based on condition, demand and reusable components.
