Did you Know?
 
Newcastle had its own car maker over a century ago

Between 1903 and 1907, the Elswick was built right in Newcastle's own Elswick district - a genuine, if short-lived, local car manufacturer from the earliest days of British motoring. 

It's a small footnote compared to the giants of Birmingham or Coventry, but it means Newcastle has its own real place in early British automotive history, not just a footnote borrowed from nearby Sunderland's modern Nissan plant.

What is the Newcastle upon Tyne CAZ?

Why Newcastle upon Tyne drivers scrap with us

The Newcastle and Gateshead Clean Air Zone has been in place since 30 January 2023 - but it's important to be accurate here: private cars and motorcycles are exempt and never pay a charge, regardless of emissions. 

The zone only charges non-compliant taxis, private hire vehicles, vans, buses, coaches and HGVs, so there's no scrappage incentive relevant to someone scrapping their own private car.

What does affect everyday drivers is Newcastle's genuinely mixed weather and coastal exposure further down the Tyne — older cars covering the North Shields and South Shields run regularly pick up rust and wear faster than inland equivalents, on top of the usual age-related repair bills.

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.

Common questions about scrapping a car in Newcastle upon Tyne

How much is my scrap car worth in Newcastle upon Tyne?

No. You can nominate someone else to hand over the keys and paperwork, provided they're over 18 and bring valid photo ID and proof of address, in line with the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 2013.

Can I scrap a car in Newcastle upon Tyne without a V5C logbook?
Yes. If your V5C is missing, note this when you accept your quote — our collection team will confirm what alternative proof of ownership is needed on the day.

Will scrapping my car help me avoid the Newcastle and Gateshead CAZ charge?
