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.

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.

Scrap my car in Reigate FAQs

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

The average price paid in Reigate for a scrap car is £265. Your final price depends on weight, condition, make, model, current metal prices, and whether the vehicle has more value as salvage than scrap, so checking your scrap car value with our online tool gives the clearest figure, and a scrap car quote takes under 30 seconds.

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

No, you don't have to be present for collection of your scrap car in Reigate. You can nominate another person to hand the vehicle over, but they must be over 18 and have the required documents and access, and our team will explain everything beforehand so the handover runs smoothly and provides you with a stress free route to sell your car.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You'll usually need photo ID, proof of address, and any supporting papers such as MOT certificates or service history, and the checks can take slightly longer before collection is authorised.

Do I need to notify the DVLA when I scrap my car?
Dropdown Icon

No, Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification as part of the CoD process, so you only need to provide your V5C logbook details. Once the Certificate of Destruction is issued, the previous owner is removed from the register and responsibility for the vehicle ends.

What is the difference between scrapping and salvaging?
Dropdown Icon

Scrapping means the vehicle is dismantled and recycled mainly for metal value under the ELV directive. Salvaging means the car still has enough value to be resold whole or broken for usable parts, and car.co.uk checks both routes to choose the best outcome for the owner.

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

You'll need your V5C logbook to scrap your car in Reigate, along with a photo ID and proof of address. If the V5C logbook is missing, you can still arrange disposal with alternative paperwork such as MOT certificates or service history, and we'll guide you through each step.

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. Car.co.uk handles the DVLA notification automatically, and once issued the CoD removes the previous owner from the DVLA register so further responsibility ends.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, any outstanding finance must be settled first, or the finance company must give consent before the vehicle can be scrapped. Lenders keep a legal interest in the car until the agreement ends, so check the account status with them first and we'll help you move ahead once clearance is in place.

How does scrap car payment work?
Dropdown Icon

Payment is made by bank transfer, not cash. Under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013, cash payments for scrap vehicles aren't allowed, and the quoted price is the price paid on collection with no last-minute reductions.

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

No, you don't need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and won't stop collection or change the quoted price, because recovery teams can load the vehicle with specialist equipment and the condition of the car, not the keys, determines the price.
