To find out where you can drop your car off, simply get a no obligation quote using your registration and postcode. We'll show you the CarTakeBack branches in your local area, along with a map, their opening hours and the price. With over 300 branches ready to buy your car, there's always one near you.
After you've accepted your quote, you can drop your car off at any time - there's no need to make an appointment.
Throughout the working week CarTakeBack branches are usually open from 8am until 5pm, however many are open at weekends and some open earlier and close later than this. We'll show you the opening hours at each of the CarTakeBack branches in your area when you get an online quote and email these to you when you accept.
You'll need to have a few things ready:
- your reference number or a copy of your quote (either on paper or your mobile device) to guarantee the price;
- your identification;
- your keys, if you have them;
- your documents (such as the registration certificate, service history, MOT certificate and manuals) if you have them;
- And finally, don’t forget to remove any personal belongings and rubbish.
When you arrive at the local CarTakeBack branch we'll:
- check that your car matches the quote;
- check and take a copy of your identification;
- take care of the DVLA paperwork;
- sort out the payment.
You'll also need to notify DVLA that you've sold your car. If you have any road tax remaining, you'll get an automatic tax refund from DVLA.
Your reference number uses the format 'CC-0000-000000'. We'll give this to you when you get a quote and it will be shown on any emails we send to you. Your reference number makes it easier for us to pull up your details, and guarantee the price we've quoted.
