Car removal can be a practical option when an unwanted vehicle is taking up space at home, work or a workshop. A little preparation helps make collection easier, especially if the car is damaged, not running or no longer registered.
Give accurate vehicle and location information
Describe the vehicle’s condition, whether it starts and rolls, and where it is parked. Collection planning may differ for a driveway, tight-access property, car park or roadside location. Accurate details help ensure suitable equipment is arranged.
Remove personal items first
Check the glove box, centre console, boot, door pockets and under the seats. Remove documents containing personal information, number-plate accessories, child seats and anything you want to keep before collection.
Confirm timing and paperwork
Confirm the pickup window, payment process and documents needed for your vehicle. If access is restricted, arrange for someone to be present or provide the instructions needed for a safe collection.
Plan for difficult access
Let the collection team know in advance about flat tyres, a locked gate, low clearance, an apartment basement or a vehicle that cannot move. These details can prevent delays on the day.
