Frequently asked questions

FAQ icon

Can you tow unwanted cars from remote areas?

Yes, our nationwide free car removal services can reach practically any regional location in Australia within hours.

FAQ icon

What is the acceptable damage limit for unwanted cars?

Totally flooded vehicles are the only type we will not accept, though there is a level of water damage we are okay with.

Apart from that, we’ll buy even the most horrendously smashed-up bone-rattlers for an incredible price. 

If you’re absolutely positive nobody would ever pay for your unwanted vehicle, give us a call and give us a description — we’ll prove you wrong.

FAQ icon

Can I sell an unwanted car if it’s still under finance?

No. 1800 Salvage is a licensed motor car trader, and regulations forbid us from purchasing vehicles under finance.

However, while we cannot purchase your unwanted car, we can store it for you.

By submitting a salvage tender on your behalf, we can take possession of your vehicle and tow it away while you maintain responsibility for the financial payments.

FAQ icon

My unwanted car is also unregistered. Can I still sell it?

1800 Salvage buys unregistered vehicles all the time — we’ll be happy to buy yours, too.

A handy tip: keep the license plates. Your local road authority will reimburse you for them upon return.
