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.

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 my car in Fleet FAQs

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

The average price for a scrap car in Fleet is £273. Car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, rates and reusable parts. Enter your registration and postcode to see the price for your scrap, compare scrap car prices and decide whether the offer provides the best scrap car deal for your vehicle.

Do I need to be present for the collection in Fleet?
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 agreed documents. Tell us beforehand so the driver knows who will complete the handover and collection can proceed securely without unnecessary 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 connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, receipt or service record. Ownership checks may take longer before collection and secure payment can be arranged.

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

Yes, electric and hybrid vehicles are accepted in Fleet, including battery-electric cars, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. Trained staff manage high-voltage isolation, battery removal and recycling through an authorised treatment facility. This keeps the end-of-life process safe, documented and compliant while reusable materials and valuable components are recovered wherever suitable locally.

Can I scrap a SORN vehicle in Fleet?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a SORN vehicle can be collected in Fleet without tax or insurance. It must not be driven on a public road, so collection should take place from private land or another lawful off-road location. When the car is scrapped and eligible, DVLA notification and the Certificate of Destruction close the record and remove SORN status.

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

You need the V5C log book, photo ID and proof of address to complete the sale. If it is missing, alternative ownership evidence may be accepted after checks. We explain what to prepare before collection, helping the handover remain properly recorded and compliant at your Fleet address without delays or unnecessary 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 official register and ends all further 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 written 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 delays, complications or ownership problems.

Which areas of Fleet do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

All Fleet postcodes are covered, including Ancells Farm, Elvetham Heath, Pondtail and Church Crookham. Collection is free from accessible addresses, and nearby areas may also be available. Enter your postcode during the quote process to confirm local coverage and suitable collection slots straight away today.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate, but retention or transfer must be completed before the vehicle is destroyed. Apply through the DVLA or use form V317, then wait for confirmation before arranging collection. Once a Certificate of Destruction is issued, the registration cannot be recovered, so complete the plate process first and keep documents safely.
