Car disposal

Unwanted car? We collect it and pay you.

Getting rid of a car you don't want

One call, a fair price and a free pickup.

Full details

Moving house, upgrading, or just tired of looking at it? One call, a fair price and a free pickup at a time that suits you.

Car disposal shouldn't cost you anything. We tow the car away for free and pay you for it, whether it runs or not.

When people dispose of a car

Whatever the reason, the process is the same.

  • Moving
  • Upgrading
  • Repairs cost too much
  • Taking up space
Full details
  • Moving. Interstate, overseas or into a place with less parking. Tell us your moving date and we'll book around it.
  • Upgrading. When the dealer offers next to nothing for your old car as a trade-in.
  • Repairs cost too much. A failed roadworthy or a big repair quote that's more than the car is worth.
  • Taking up space. A second car, or one that's sat unused in the driveway, garage or backyard.

  • Empty the car. Take out your belongings and any toll tag.

  • Cancel rego and insurance. Cancel the registration with Transport and Main Roads online, and let your insurer know.

After we pick it up

Cancel your registration and insurance after collection.

Full details

Once we've collected the car, cancel the registration and insurance. In Queensland you can cancel your rego online, and you may get a refund for the time left on it. In NSW, cancel it with Service NSW.

Disposed of properly

Your car is recycled, not dumped.

Full details

Every car we collect comes back to our Rocklea yard. Fluids are drained and disposed of properly, working parts are pulled and resold, and the rest goes to a metal recycler.

Car disposal FAQs

Does it cost anything to dispose of my car?

No. The pickup is free, and we pay you for the car. We don't take towing costs off your price.

Can you dispose of a car that doesn't run?

Yes. We bring a tilt tray and winch it on, so it doesn't need to run or have keys.

Can I dispose of a car without rego?

Yes. Unregistered cars are fine because we tow them. You'll still need photo ID and proof the car is yours.

Where do you collect from?

Anywhere in Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Tweed Heads. Home, work, a mechanic's or the roadside.

How do I get paid?

Cash or bank transfer, your choice, before the car leaves. In NSW, including Tweed Heads, it's bank transfer only.

Getting paid

Paid before your car leaves. Cash or bank transfer; bank transfer only in NSW.

What you'll need

  • Ownership papers, with no finance owing
  • Photo ID
  • Bank details for a transfer
