Brighton doesn't currently operate a Clean Air Zone, so there's no charging scheme to weigh up here. 

Brighton's steep South Downs approaches and heavy seafront traffic still add real wear to brakes and clutches, and like other coastal towns, sea air exposure can accelerate corrosion on older bodywork over time.

Brighton is the finish line of the world's oldest motoring event

Every November since 1927 (and occasionally before that, dating back to 1896), hundreds of pre-1905 veteran cars complete the 60-mile London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, finishing on Madeira Drive on Brighton seafront. 

It's the world's longest-running motoring event, commemorating the 1896 Emancipation Run that celebrated the end of Britain's old "red flag" laws restricting early cars to walking pace. 
Up to a million spectators line the route on a good year, making Brighton's seafront the scene of one of the great annual moments in British motoring history.

Top Customer FAQ’s

The most common methods of payment available are Bank Transfer and Cheque Payment. Bank Transfers are usually cleared within 24 hours from the time of collection. Cheque Payments are issued on collection but can take a few days to clear with your bank. it will depend on your local collections team as to which payment method they can offer. 

In order to receive a tax refund you will need to inform DVLA that you have sold your vehicle. This can be done once the vehicle has been collected using the V5C (logbook) - section 9 or section 4 on the new logbooks issued in April 2019 (yellow section) which will be filled in on the day of collection by the driver, and handed back to you, you will need to send this to DVLA (we recommend recorded delivery). If you do not have the V5C, we advise you send a letter to DVLA using the address details of the collector to advise that you are no longer the registered keeper as of the day and time of the collection. For more information regarding the tax refund, please contact DVLA or visit https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-tax-refund

We can normally collect without the V5C, if you add in the comments once you accept 'V5C missing' the collection company can confirm when they contact you. It is important that the registered keeper notifies DVLA in writing that the vehicle has been scrapped/sold using the details from the driver on the day of collection. If you need details of which collection team collected your vehicle feel free to contact us by phone or via our online chat facility.

The person present at the time of collection will have to provide Photo I.D and some form of address proof,recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc

The person present at the time of collection will need to provide us with their own Photo I.D, and proof of address (Utility Bill/Bank Statement etc, that is less than 3 months old), the keys and, if possible, the V5C (log book). We may also ask for spare keys and any other paper work, such as service receipts and old MOTs.

Due to the SMDA 2013 (scrap metal dealers act 2013) scrap metal dealers and car breakers can no longer pay for vehicles using CASH and also need by law a copy of the photo I.D and proof of address (recent Utility Bill/Bank statement, etc) of the person there at the time of the collection.

No, we do not sell parts at Remove My Car.
