No, we'll give you a scrap car quote free of charge and there's no obligation to accept. Just tell us what type of car you have, and your postcode, to find out what your car is worth.
Yes, your scrap car quote is valid for seven days, which is great if you're not quite ready. And when you'd like to retrieve your quote, simply tell us what type of car you have, and your postcode, or use the link in the email we'll send you.
When you tell us what car you have and where it is, we compare the scrap prices available at CarTakeBack scrap car recycling centres in your area, to find you the best deal for your scrap car.
We may also ask you some questions about your car's condition. If you're unable to answer any questions, we may make some assumptions. Your answers and our assumptions will be shown to you alongside your quote.
We'll use this information to give you the best price available for your car from competing CarTakeBack branches in your local area.

- your car is free of all finance charges, such as a hire purchase or loan agreement;
- your car is free from any additional waste, such as litter, refuse or rubbish;
- your car is powered only by a single petrol or diesel internal combustion engine and does not have an electric or hybrid powertrain;
- your car (or light van) has no more than 9 seats (i.e. not a motorbike or HGV); and
- your car is accessible (in the case of a collection) meaning that it is parked on solid ground with inflated tyres, so that it can be safely winched onto a recovery vehicle.
If any of the above criteria are not true, the instant quote initially provided may need to be revised. You'll be given the opportunity to provide further details.
