What paperwork do I need to donate a car?

We ask you to present your registration document (V5C) when the car is collected - you will need to complete Section 9. If you can’t find the document, don’t worry – we can still arrange the collection. Recently, the DVLA has informed us that our collection partners are under no legal obligation to sign their part of Section 9, despite the fact that it says 'by law'. They have also informed us that it is perfectly acceptable if you sign your part, note down the name and address of the collection agent and then send that off to the DVLA. You will then be issued with a Certificate of Destruction. If you have any doubts, please contact the DVLA. There’s no need for your car to have a valid tax disc or MOT – all our cars are collected by tow truck so they don’t need to be licenced. Of course if you do have a current MOT certificate, it will probably increase the value of the car.
