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.

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 recommended !!
Car.co.uk offered the best price by far out of all the sites I had got quotes from. The whole process was really easy to arrange and sort out a collection. I had a few enquiries and the different guys that I spoke to at customer enquiries was really friendly and helpful. I asked for an early/ first pick up and was told they would do their best. The night before I received a text asking if a 6:30am pick up would be possible. I agreed. Earlier the better for me. The morning of the pick up I had a call from the driver (John) who informed me he wasn’t far and sure enough he arrived on the agreed time. When he arrived he was so helpful and really friendly. The car was on the back of the lorry and paperwork sorted all within 15 mins. Can’t recommend these guys enough and I would definitely use again.

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.

Scrap car statistics in Newcastle

bulb-icon

The oldest vehicle we've scrapped in Newcastle was a 60-year-old 1966 Jaguar E-Type, showing that certain cars stay in everyday use for a long time before finally reaching scrap age.

bulb-icon

At 1,295 kg, the average kerb weight of vehicles we've quoted and collected in Newcastle is a little bit lower than the UK average of 1,314 kg, so the local vehicle size is more or less in line with the rest of the country.

bulb-icon

The average age of vehicles we've quoted and collected in Newcastle is 17.9-years-old, slightly below the national average of 18.5. This suggests that local vehicles reach end of life a little sooner.

bulb-icon

The lowest mileage we've seen in Newcastle was for a 49-year-old MG B from 1977 that had 484 miles on the clock. This was likely due to being in storage for an extended period, an insurance write-off or simply a recording anomaly.

Scrap my car in Newcastle FAQs

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

The average price paid for scrap vehicles in Newcastle is £238. Your scrap car quote will depend on the weight, condition, make and model of the vehicle, as well as current metal prices. Whether the vehicle has salvageable parts or is only good for scrap is also taken into account, so be sure to check live scrap car prices to ensure you're offered the best price. It takes less than 30 seconds.

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

No, you don't have to be present in person for our free vehicle collection service. You can nominate someone over 18 to be there when we collect your scrap car in Newcastle, they'll just need access to the vehicle, all the required paperwork and identification.

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

Yes, it's possible to scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll need photo ID, proof of address and supporting paperwork like MOT certificates and service history instead in order to confirm ownership. Not having the V5C can make the scrap car collection process take slightly longer.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

We make a quick payment by bank transfer; we don't ever pay with cash. Cash payments for scrap vehicles are prohibited under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. We will always pay the best scrap car price and make a same-day payment on collection with no last-minute reductions. Our simple process is clear, secure and practical.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Newcastle?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, you can scrap SORN vehicles in Newcastle, and they won't need to be taxed or have insurance to qualify for free car collection. SORN vehicles cannot be driven on public roads, however, so must be collected from a private or off-road address. If you request a CoD after accepting your scrap quote, the DVLA notification will be taken care of, and the SORN is automatically ended.

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

To scrap your car in Newcastle, you'll need your V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of address. Bringing your V5C logbook speeds up the scrap car collection process. If you're missing the logbook, you can usually proceed with other forms of ID. We'll guide you through all the paperwork so your scrap vehicle can be processed as stress free as possible.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request a Certificate of Destruction we will issue it within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk handles DVLA notifications automatically, and CoDs remove the previous owner from the DVLA register once they're issued, ending further responsibility.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you won't be able to scrap your vehicle in Newcastle until outstanding finance has been settled. An alternative is if the finance company gives their consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Financing creates a legal interest in the vehicle, so your best bet is to contact the lender for settlement details. We can advise you on all the documents you'll need before we collect your car.

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

Yes, Car.co.uk accepts scrap vehicles of all fuel types in Newcastle, including battery electric vehicles, hybrid cars, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. We only use authorised treatment facilities to handle battery removal, and strictly adhere to all vehicle disposal regulations so EV and hybrid disposal is always dealt with safely and compliantly.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but there are certain conditions which apply in these cases. The registered owner will need to provide written authority, or you'll have to have a legitimate reason for possessing the car, such as it being a gift, part of an inheritance or from a deceased estate. You'll also need ID and supporting paperwork such as a will, gift letter or statutory declaration. Car.co.uk can give you advice on this issue.
