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.

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.

Scrap my car in Fareham FAQs

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

The average price paid for scrap cars in Fareham is £195. This can change depending on weight, condition, make, and model, current scrap metal prices, and whether the vehicle has salvageable parts, so an older runner may return more than expected. Check your scrap car value online in under 30 seconds to see the best prices for your vehicle.

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

No, you don't have to be present for the collection of your scrap car in Fareham. You can have someone else hand over the vehicle on your behalf, but they must be over 18 and have access to the car, all the required documents, and keys.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook, but you'll need to provide photo ID, proof of address, and supporting records such as MOT certificates or service history to help confirm ownership instead. A missing logbook means checks will probably take slightly longer, delaying collection and payment.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

We pay by bank transfer, never in cash. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, cash payments for scrap vehicles are prohibited. The price you're quoted is the price paid on collection, with no last-minute reductions, so you'll know exactly what you're receiving before the driver arrives.

How do I avoid scrap car scams in Fareham?
Dropdown Icon

Scrap car scams are a real risk in Fareham, so always be wary of cash-in-hand deals, unlicensed collectors, and any buyer who cuts the price on collection day. Legitimate scrap car payments are always made by bank transfer, never in cash. The Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013 prohibits paying cash for cars or any other scrap vehicle. Car.co.uk is the safer route, with a high Trustpilot rating from 15,000+ reviews plus a Certificate of Destruction available on request.

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

You'll need your V5C logbook, proof of address, and photo ID in order to scrap your car in Fareham. The V5C logbook helps us process everything smoothly. Missing paperwork won't always prevent collection because we can still help with alternative documents

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we'll issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing. Car.co.uk will notify the DVLA, and the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register, ending further responsibility for the vehicle.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you'll need to pay off any outstanding finance first, unless the finance company gives clear consent for the vehicle to be scrapped. Contact them for settlement details or written permission, and we'll explain what happens once that's sorted.

Which areas of Fareham do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

We cover all postcodes within Fareham, with free collection from any home, workplace, or roadside address with safe access. We also cover surrounding parts of the wider area, so enter your postcode and we'll confirm availability straight away.

Do you accept commercial vehicles in Fareham?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, we accept vans and light commercial vehicles for scrap in Fareham, including panel vans, pick-ups, and minibuses. The quote process is the same as for a car; just enter your registration number and postcode to see the best deal. Many vans return a higher price than cars because greater kerb weight can increase their scrap value. Keep in mind that narrow roads and bridges with weight restrictions, such as Longwater Bridge in Funtley, can affect recovery of larger vehicles.
