Do I need to insure a car before scrappage?
Hi,
I'm enquiring about scrappage deals and am wondering if I need to have the car insured as I can't afford a new car until 2017 and the insurance is due for renewal on my car now and as I don't need the car until January I don't know if I need to reinsure it before then.

Can I not use scrappage if car won't start?
Hi.
We are seriously considering scrapping a Fiat Cinquecento that we have owned from new. The car's NCT is due in August, it's taxed etc. have been to a dealership (Hyundai) who have given it the thumbs up. However, today, the car has just stopped and won't start, may be electrics or a new battery. Would this mean the car can now not be scrapped?
Thanks

Can I trade my damaged Santa Fe in?
Hi,
My 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe was just written off by the insurance company. Car is still driving, with only some medium bumper damage. It has a bull bar up front and a tow bar out back. Another car rear-ended me. My car was up to date with tax, insurance and NCT all good. Will I qualify for a scrappage scheme? I'm thinking of getting a new Berlingo or Peugeot van.
Thank you

How can I get scrappage for my Hyundai?
Hi, I have a 2004 Hyundai Getz that I'd like to sell for scrappage. How do I get a quote with you? The last place quoted 75 Euro. This seems very low for a good car.
Thanks!
