Why an old car becomes a problem

A car that sits long enough starts costing you, even if you never drive it.

  • Street parking rules. In Vancouver, a car left on the street for more than 14 days, or one without valid plates and insurance, can be treated as abandoned under the Impounding By-law. Uninsured cars can't be parked on Vancouver streets or lanes at all. Other cities have their own rules, so check yours.
  • Strata and landlord rules. Many buildings don't allow stored or unregistered vehicles in their stalls.
  • Leaks and rust. Old fluids end up on the driveway, and a car left outside through a few wet winters only gets worth less.
  • Insurance you're still paying. Keeping a car insured "just in case" adds up.

Years of sitting outside. Still worth something, and still easy to haul.

Cars that won't move on their own

A junk car is rarely ready to roll. Seized brakes, flat tires, a locked steering wheel or a car parked nose-in against a fence all make loading slower, but they don't stop a pickup.

When you book, tell us if the wheels turn, whether you have the keys, and how the car is parked. That's enough for us to plan the pickup and give you an honest time.

Moving soon?

Book the pickup before the moving truck. One less thing to deal with on moving day.

Junk car, or still worth fixing?

If the repair is small and you'll keep driving the car for years, fix it. If the repair costs more than the car would be worth afterwards, or the car is rusting through underneath, it's usually time to let it go.

Not sure? Send us the details anyway. A quote costs nothing, and knowing what the car is worth as scrap makes the repair decision easier. If it still runs well, our cash for cars page explains when a private sale makes more sense.

Questions we get asked

The tires are flat and it hasn't moved in years. Can you still take it?

Yes. Flat tires and seized brakes make it slower to load, not impossible. Tell us when you book so we can plan for it.

It's parked on the street. Is that a problem?

We can pick up from the street. In Vancouver an uninsured car shouldn't be parked on the street or in a lane at all, so it's worth moving quickly.

Do I need the keys?

Often not, as long as you can prove ownership with the registration. Mention it when you book.

The car is still registered to a family member. Can I sell it?

The registered owner needs to sign. If they've passed away, ICBC has an estate transfer process; our BC paperwork guide explains it.
