Working for the community

Birkenhead and the wider Merseyside area have one of the worst road safety records in the UK – with the town witnessing over 2,500 road traffic accidents over the past 5 years. This figure means Birkenhead is likely to miss internationally agreed targets to reduce casualties on roads before 2020. 

At Car.co.uk, we use cars that are written off and damaged in accidents like these to help fund life-changing charity work across the UK. If you’re planning to scrap your car for cash in Birkenhead, using our service means you’re actively helping the charities, good causes, and people we support.

I’m planning to scrap my car, but I want to keep the private number plate that’s currently on it. Can you arrange this?
Description
Keeping your registration is possible – but you’ll need to apply for a number plate retention through the DVLA. You can do this either online or through the post. You’ll be able to transfer your registration to another vehicle or keep the registration for future use - on a retention document. It’s vitally important you complete this process before your car is collected as you could lose the registration if you don’t.
