Scrap car collection in London
A simpler way to remove an unwanted car in the capital
Keeping a broken, damaged or uneconomical vehicle can be particularly difficult where parking space is limited. We help London owners arrange a compliant sale and recovery without needing to drive the car anywhere.
Coverage extends across Greater London, although access, controlled zones and traffic restrictions vary considerably. The exact position of the vehicle is checked before a collection partner is assigned.
We provide guidance on seller identification, traceable payment and the DVLA update. Once collected, the car moves into the appropriate salvage or recycling process.

Common questions
London scrap car collection FAQs
Can you collect inside the Congestion Charge zone?
Potentially, but the postcode, timing and applicable road charges must be considered when the offer and booking are prepared. Give the exact location from the start.
What if my car is in an underground residential car park?
Provide the height limit, ramp gradient, entrance width and turning space. Standard recovery trucks may not fit, so the car might need moving to street level.
Can you recover from a controlled parking bay?
Collection may be possible where legal stopping and loading can be arranged. You may need to organise permission or a suitable bay through the relevant borough.
Is cash available for London scrap cars?
No. Payment for scrap vehicles must be traceable and is normally completed by bank transfer. The amount and timing are agreed before handover.
Which documents will the collector check?
Photo ID, proof of address and the V5C are commonly requested, along with evidence that you have authority to sell. Requirements are confirmed when booking.
How do I tell the DVLA the vehicle has gone?
Use the sale or transfer details provided at collection and complete the DVLA notification promptly. Retain the electronic or written acknowledgement for your records.
