Clear collection arrangements before we attend
A car does not need to be running, taxed or MOT’d for us to collect it in London. Tell us the postcode, make and model, whether the wheels roll, and if the vehicle is complete. We can then confirm the right collection vehicle and an appointment that works around your access restrictions.
London collections often need a little more planning than a rural driveway. Controlled parking zones, loading bays, estate barriers, narrow streets and underground car parks can all affect the truck we send. Mention those details when you call so the operator arrives with a workable loading plan rather than discovering the problem at the kerb.
We cover the capital from Enfield and Barnet through central London to Croydon, Bromley and Richmond. We also regularly arrange collections close to the M25, M1, M4, M11 and A1(M) corridors when a failed or written-off vehicle has been left at a safer temporary location.
Local collection planning
London access often means coordinating around the M25, M1, M4, M11 and A1(M) approaches as well as local borough restrictions. Tell us about controlled parking, estate gates, height limits or underground access before booking. A flatbed or smaller recovery vehicle may be more suitable than a standard transporter.

Scrap My Car in London: Common Questions
Is scrap car collection free in London?
Collection is free for standard cars and light vans in normal circumstances. The vehicle may also have a scrap value depending on its weight, condition and current metal prices. Larger vehicles, difficult access or specialist handling are quoted before collection.
Can you collect a non-running car from a London driveway?
Yes. Tell us if the steering is locked, the tyres are flat, the brakes are seized or the keys are missing. That information helps us send the right winching and loading equipment.
What paperwork do I need to scrap my car in London?
The V5C logbook is helpful, and the registered keeper must authorise the disposal. If the V5C is missing, we can explain the additional identity checks needed before collection. Keep any personalised registration paperwork separate and tell us before the car is loaded.
