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 :)

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.

We received a very competitive quote…
We received a very competitive quote from Car.co.uk for my car and from the start they were very efficient with their quote which was easy to understand. After accepting their quote they kept me fully informed of the procedure and made it clear and simple. We agreed a collection date and they arrived on time with two polite and helpful driver and assistant and they loaded my car and left very quickly. The agreed price was paid by Car.co.uk and the money was in my Bank before the driver left. I would highly recommend this Company.

Scrap my car in Gloucestershire FAQs

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

The average local scrap price is £235. Your car value depends on weight, condition, make, model, metal rates and reusable parts. Enter your car registration and postcode to see current scrap car prices, check the price for your scrap and decide whether the offer gives you the best scrap car deal for your vehicle.

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

No, you do not need to be present for collection in Gloucestershire. You can nominate an adult aged 18 or over, provided they have access to the vehicle, photo ID and the agreed paperwork. Tell us beforehand who will meet the driver so the handover can go ahead securely without delaying collection.

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

Yes, you can scrap a car without a V5C logbook. You will usually need photo ID, proof of address and evidence connecting you to the vehicle, such as an MOT certificate, purchase receipt or service records. Extra ownership checks can take a little longer before collection is approved.

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

Yes, you can keep your private number plate before the vehicle is scrapped. Apply to retain or transfer the registration through the DVLA before final processing. The plate must be removed from the vehicle record first, so complete the retention process before your collection date to avoid delays.

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

Yes, electric and hybrid vehicles can be scrapped in Gloucestershire. Battery electric cars, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids can all be collected, with high-voltage components handled through the approved treatment process. Tell us the vehicle type when requesting a quote so the right collection and processing arrangements can be made.

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

You normally need the V5C logbook, photo ID and proof of address. If the logbook is missing, collection may still be possible once alternative ownership evidence is checked. Service records or purchase documents can help support ownership. We explain what to prepare beforehand so the handover remains straightforward and properly recorded.

Will I receive a Certificate of Destruction?
Dropdown Icon

Yes, a Certificate of Destruction is issued when the vehicle is scrapped and eligible. It confirms the car entered the end-of-life process, while DVLA notification helps remove the previous keeper from the official record and brings further responsibility to an end.

Can I scrap a car with outstanding finance?
Dropdown Icon

No, outstanding finance normally needs to be settled before the vehicle is scrapped, unless the lender provides clear permission. The finance company retains a legal interest until the agreement ends, so contact it for a settlement figure or written consent. Once that is resolved, you can continue with the normal quote and collection process.

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

Yes, you can dispose of a vehicle that is not registered in your name, but you need clear authority to do so. Written permission from the registered keeper, estate papers, proof of purchase or another supporting document may be required. You should also have photo ID and proof of address ready before collection is approved.

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

No, you do not always need to provide keys for your car. Missing keys are common and may not prevent collection because specialist recovery equipment can load the vehicle safely. Tell us before booking so the collection partner knows what access and equipment will be required on the day.
