Choose the correct collection point across the Chichester area
A Chichester postal address can cover very different collection settings. Give the exact location of the car, not just PO18, PO19 or PO20, and say whether it is in an open parking area, behind a building or on private land. Where the entrance differs from the postal address, explain both.
If a garage, landowner or managing agent needs to release the vehicle, agree their part before booking. Share the present condition as well as the reason for sale, particularly if an inspection has left the car dismantled. Keeping the address, access and vehicle description together helps avoid an offer being based on a different collection situation.
- Name the person who can open any gates or barriers.
- Confirm whether the vehicle rolls and steers.
- Update us if the car moves after the quote is issued.

Chichester collection access: city centre, car parks and village lanes
Chichester is not always the easiest place to recover a vehicle. City centre parking, pay-and-display bays, height restrictions, one-way streets, residential permits, garage forecourts and coastal roads can all affect the collection plan. If the car is in a car park such as Northgate, Avenue De Chartres, Cattle Market, Basin Road, East Pallant or a coastal car park in Selsey or the Witterings, tell us before collection. Height barriers, ticket limits and access rules can affect which recovery vehicle we send. For rural or village collections around Bosham, Lavant, Funtington, Goodwood, Hunston, Birdham or the Witterings, details like narrow lanes, soft ground, locked gates, steep drives and missing keys are worth mentioning early.Tell us before collection if…
- The car does not start, steer or roll
- The vehicle has no keys or locked steering
- There are flat tyres, seized brakes or missing wheels
- The car is in a multi-storey, car park or restricted bay
- The address has narrow access, gates, gravel, grass or soft ground
Scrap value
How much is my scrap car worth in Chichester?
Your Chichester scrap car quote depends on the vehicle make, model, weight, age, condition, completeness, current metal values and collection access. A complete car with its catalytic converter, battery, alloy wheels and major parts usually gives a cleaner starting point than a vehicle with parts missing. Some cars are worth more as salvage than standard scrap, especially if the vehicle is newer, has reusable parts, has light accident damage or still has demand from repairers and breakers. We will guide you based on the details you give us.Price factors we check
- Vehicle weight and type
- Condition and whether it runs
- Catalytic converter, battery and alloy wheels
- Missing parts or previous stripping
- Scrap vs salvage value
- Collection access in Chichester and nearby villages
