Core documents and details
Having the right information ready makes collection and transfer much smoother.
V5C logbook (if available)
Photo ID and proof of address if requested
Vehicle keys (if available)
Bank details for payment transfer
If you do not have the V5C
A missing V5C does not always stop collection, but additional ownership checks are usually required.
In Coventry, the fastest way to avoid delays is to mention missing documents when requesting your quote.
What to do before collection day
If your vehicle is parked on private land in Coventry, make sure the collector has clear access.
Remove all personal belongings and any removable valuables before handover.
Take photos of the car condition
Remove personal data/devices
Keep transfer confirmations in your records
After the vehicle is collected
Ensure transfer steps are completed properly and retain confirmation of collection and payment.
Good records protect you if any future ownership queries arise.
