Quick and Convenient Vehicle Scrappage
This was a quick and easy way to scrap our old vehicle. The online evaluation check was useful and produced a similar price to what we expected. It only took a few moments to book a collection date and time, and this was confirmed via text and email. On collection day I was texted further confirmation and called by the driver to inform of his eta. The driver was informative and professional. The purchase was accepted and the payment okayed, with the money transferred immediately. Overall, and great service and would recommend.

Quick Service and Instant Payment
I recently used a car scrapping service and was really impressed with how quick and straightforward the whole process was. From the moment I contacted them, everything was handled professionally. They arranged collection at a time that suited me, and the driver was polite and efficient. What really stood out was how quickly they transferred the payment — the money went straight into my bank account immediately after the car was collected. There was no hassle, no hidden fees, and everything was exactly as promised. If you’re looking for a smooth, no-stress way to scrap your car and get paid on the spot, I’d definitely recommend this service.

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.

Very easy transaction.
Very easy transaction. Easy to book, collection person phoned to say exactly what time they were arriving. I just left him to it and collection took around 10 mins including taking photos of my id and the car. Sad to see my car go as its been a really good car but too much wrong with it now. Payment was not immediate, took around an hour and a half. No fuss, no sweat, very easy.

Scrap my car in Eastbourne FAQs

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

The price we offer you for your car depends on several factors, including its weight, condition, make, model, and the current value of scrap metal. Compare live scrap car prices and get your quote in under 30 seconds.

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

You do not need to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Eastbourne. You can nominate someone else aged 18 or over to hand the vehicle over, but they'll need access to the car plus any agreed documents, so the driver can complete the collection without delays.

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

You can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, but you will need alternative documents, such as MOT certificates and a full service history.

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

You don't need to provide keys for your car because the vehicle can be loaded with specialist equipment, regardless of whether you have keys or not.

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

You can scrap a car that isn't registered in your name, but conditions apply. Written authority from the registered keeper is preferred, or you'll need a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance, or deceased estate, plus your ID and supporting paperwork, like a will, gift letter, or statutory declaration.

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

Photo ID and proof of address are required to scrap your car in Eastbourne, and a V5C logbook is preferred. We can usually proceed with an alternative to a logbook, so if you don't have one, we can advise.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

If you request one, we can issue a Certificate of Destruction within seven days of processing. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued, further responsibility ends for the previous owner.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

To scrap a car with outstanding finance, you need written consent from your lender. In most cases, you will need to settle your outstanding balance to be able to scrap the car.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Eastbourne?
Dropdown Icon

We accept vans and light commercial vehicles in Eastbourne, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. Enter the car registration number and postcode to see what your commercial vehicle is worth. Many vans are worth more because their greater kerb weight adds metal value.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Quick payment is made by bank transfer, in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013. The price you're quoted is the price paid on collection with no last-minute reductions, provided the vehicle matches the details you entered when you got your price.
