Free Car Removal Perth 2026: How It Works & What to Expect
Got an old car sitting in your driveway, gathering dust and taking up space? You're not alone. Thousands of Perth residents deal with unwanted vehicles every year — whether it's a car that failed its last rego inspection, a flood-damaged write-off, or simply a vehicle that's too expensive to repair.
The good news? Free car removal in Perth is not only possible — it's the standard with reputable services like Cash For Cars Perth. In this guide, we'll walk you through exactly how it works, what to prepare, and how you can walk away with cash in your hand the same day.
What Is Free Car Removal?
Free car removal means a professional service will come to your location — whether it's your home, workplace, or even a rural property — and tow away your unwanted vehicle at absolutely no cost to you. There are no hidden towing fees, no call-out charges, and no surprises.
Unlike private sales where you have to deal with tyre-kickers and no-shows, a professional car removal service handles everything: the towing, the paperwork, and even paying you cash on the spot.
💡 Key Point: Legitimate car removal companies make their money by recycling parts and scrap metal — not by charging you for towing. If a company asks you to pay for towing, walk away.

We Come to You — Free Towing
Our team arrives with a professional tow truck. We handle the loading — whether your car is in a garage, on grass, or on the street. No towing fees at all.
Get Paid Cash on the Spot
Once we verify the vehicle, you get instant cash payment right there and then. We also help with the DOT ownership transfer paperwork so you're fully covered.
What You Need to Prepare Before Pickup
To make the process as smooth as possible, have the following ready before our driver arrives:
- Photo ID: A valid driver's licence or government ID. This is legally required for the transfer of vehicle ownership in Western Australia.
- Proof of Ownership: Ideally your vehicle registration papers. If the car is unregistered, a previous registration document or receipt of purchase will do.
- Remove Personal Belongings: Check the boot, glove box, under seats, and sun visors. Once the car is on the truck, it's gone.
- Clear Vehicle Access: Ensure the tow truck can reach your car. If it's in a tight space, let us know in advance so we can bring the right equipment.
How Much Cash Can You Get with Free Car Removal?
"Free removal" doesn't mean "no payment." In fact, most vehicles removed from Perth homes earn their owners cold, hard cash. Here's a rough guide based on what we see in 2026:
| Vehicle Condition | Typical Payout |
|---|---|
| Complete scrap car (non-running) | $150 – $800 |
| Damaged but mostly intact | $500 – $2,000 |
| Running but old / high-km | $1,000 – $4,000 |
| SUV, 4WD, or truck (any condition) | $800 – $9,999 |
*Actual payouts depend on vehicle weight, condition, salvageable parts, and current scrap metal prices. Contact us for an accurate quote specific to your car.
Common Questions About Free Car Removal in Perth
Is car removal really free?
Yes, 100%. At Cash For Cars Perth, we never charge for towing or pickup. Our revenue comes from recycling and reselling parts — not from charging customers. If any company tries to charge you a towing fee, that's a red flag.
Do you remove cars from all Perth suburbs?
Absolutely. We service the entire Perth metropolitan area — from Joondalup in the north to Rockingham in the south, and from Fremantle out to Midland in the east. We also cover outer suburbs and semi-rural areas.
Can you remove a car without registration?
Yes. Many of the vehicles we remove have expired or cancelled registration. As long as you can prove ownership (through ID and any available paperwork), we can process the removal and pay you cash.
How quickly can you pick up my car?
In most cases, we offer same-day pickup across Perth. If you call us before midday, there's a good chance we can have a truck at your door that afternoon. For planned removals, we're happy to schedule a date and time that suits you.
What happens to my car after removal?
Every vehicle is processed responsibly. Reusable parts (engine, transmission, panels, electronics) are professionally salvaged and resold. The remaining shell is crushed and sent to licensed recycling facilities. All hazardous materials — oils, coolant, battery acid — are disposed of in compliance with WA environmental regulations. By choosing us, you're making an eco-friendly choice.
