How is Payment Made?

For payment, we offer two options: a cheque when you hand over the keys or an electronic transfer at the same time – whichever you prefer. We can collect and pay for your car within hours of you accepting our quote to scrap your vehicle.

Please note: we will need to verify the seller’s identification before we can collect the vehicle. A photo driver’s licence usually works, or alternatively, a passport and a recent utility bill with your address.

Will You Pay Cash for Scrap Cars?

No, it is now illegal to pay cash for scrap cars. If a scrap yard offers you cash for your vehicle you are scrapping it with an illegal centre and may be liable. Always use an ATF, like The Scrap Car Company, this way you can be sure that you will receive your Certificate of Destruction and that your vehicle will be correctly disposed of.

Do You Need Paperwork to Scrap Your Car?

Ideally, yes, you need your V5C to prove your ownership of the vehicle you wish to scrap.

If you’ve lost your V5C certificate, you can still notify the DVLA that your car has been scrapped. Be sure to provide full details of the scrap yard or recycling centre handling your car, along with the vehicle’s registration, make, model, and the date it was scrapped.

What is a Certificate of Destruction?

We will issue a Certificate of Destruction, which can only be provided by authorised treatment facilities (ATFs). This document proves your car has been officially taken off the road and scrapped. Without it, you may still be responsible for road tax or insurance.

What About Tax and Insurance?

If you have tax or insurance left on the vehicle, it’s best to handle the relevant paperwork yourself. This way you will ensure you receive the correct refunds.

We can manage the paperwork relevant to scrapping your vehicle for you.
