A Top-Tier Car Selling Experience
I just sold my car with Car.co.uk and I have to say, the whole process was incredibly smooth. I got an online quote, and everything went exactly as they said it would. The collection was scheduled at my house, which was super convenient. The driver was a true professional—they were not only efficient but also very kind. As soon as the car was collected, the payment landed in my bank account immediately, which was a fantastic surprise. I highly recommend Car.co.uk for anyone looking to sell their car without any hassle.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

Scrap your Renault FAQs

Can I scrap my Renault without the V5C logbook?
Dropdown Icon

If it’s missing, you can still scrap the Renault in most cases, but you’ll need to prove you’re the keeper and share a few extra details. We’ll notify the DVLA for you, so you’re not stuck with tax reminders or surprise letters after the car’s gone.

What’s a Certificate of Destruction, and do I need one?
Dropdown Icon

A Certificate of Destruction (CoD) is your deregistration proof from an Authorised Treatment Facility. If you ever get chased about the Renault you scrapped - tax, fines, random admin - then a CoD helps shut it down quickly. Our ATFs can arrange a CoD digitally or physically, letting you prove to the DVLA that your vehicle no longer exists.

What should I do before my Renault is collected for scrap?
Dropdown Icon

Do a quick sweep before collection: empty the glovebox, door bins, boot pockets, and under the seats. Take out your dashcam and phone mounts, too. If you want to keep private plates, sort the retention with DVLA first - otherwise they go with the Renault. Also, remove rubbish. Once you’ve handled all that and are ready for a quick and easy free quote, head over to Car.co.uk.

Can I scrap a Renault that’s been written off by insurance?
Dropdown Icon

If your insurer still owns the Renault, you can’t scrap it yourself - wait for their instructions. If it’s been paid out and released to you, scrapping is fine. Either way, have your claim paperwork handy, because if ownership is unclear, collection can be delayed. When you’re ready for a free quote, get one at Car.co.uk to learn more about your options.

Will you still collect my Renault if it doesn’t start?
Dropdown Icon

Usually, yes - non-runners with a flat battery, stuck starter, or blown clutch are common. If the Renault rolls and steers, pickup is typically straightforward. Just make sure it has wheels (flat tyres are fine), that way we can winch it onto one of our trucks. Be upfront about your car’s situation when booking, and try to get it as close to the curb as possible.
