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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

The average price paid in Banbury for a scrap car is £243, although your final price depends on weight, condition, make, model and current metal prices. Some vehicles have parts that can be re-used or that have salvage potential, which is all automatically factored in to our instant quote.

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

No, you don't have to be present for collection of your scrap car in Banbury. You can nominate another adult aged 18 or over to meet the driver, and they'll need identification, access to the vehicle and any agreed paperwork.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You’ll just need other documents that help prove the vehicle is yours. This could be photo ID, proof of address, insurance documents, MOT certificates, service records, receipts and anything else that builds a clear paper trail.

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

Not always, you can nominate someone over 18 to hand over keys and paperwork and sign on your behalf. The main thing is making sure the documents are available so we can remove your car easily.

Which areas of Banbury do you cover?
Dropdown Icon

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

You'll need your V5C logbook to scrap your car in Banbury, along with a photo ID and proof of address. You can still scrap your car without a V5C logbook, but you may need alternative proof of ownership, such as an insurance document or purchase receipt.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, if you request one, we issue a Certificate of Destruction within 7 days of processing. If the vehicle is fully destroyed, most authorised facilities send the Certificate of Destruction digitally within 3-7 days.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, you cannot scrap a car with outstanding finance unless the finance is fully settled or the lender gives written permission. In most UK finance agreements, the lender still has a legal interest in the vehicle until the agreement ends, so you should contact them first for a settlement figure before arranging collection.

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 some conditions apply. The registered keeper should provide written authority where possible, or you'll need to show a legitimate reason for possession, such as a gift, inheritance or deceased estate, with ID, supporting paperwork like a will, gift letter or statutory declaration.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Once the driver has collected your car and completed the required checks, payment is sent securely by bank transfer. Cash payments are not allowed for scrap vehicles under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, so the amount is paid directly into your bank account. As long as the vehicle matches the details entered during the quote, the price agreed is the price you receive, with no last-minute reductions.
