  • Utes & 4×4 / 4WDs (perfect for old workhorses and farm utes)
  • Vans & people movers (family or commercial)
  • Light trucks & commercial trucks
  • SUVs, crossovers and 7-seaters

Why Rotorua Locals Choose Us as Their Car Wreckers

There are plenty of “cash for cars” ads out there. Here’s what makes Cash for Car NZ different in Rotorua:

Up to $12,000 paid
For the right vehicles (especially utes, 4×4s and trucks), our offers are highly competitive for the Rotorua & Bay of Plenty market.

Same-day or next-day removal
Because we’re already running trucks across Rotorua, Tauranga, Whakatāne, Kawerau and Ōpōtiki, we can often slot your job in the same day.

Licensed dismantlers & responsible recyclers
As trusted car wreckers in NZ, we follow proper disposal rules, drain fluids safely, and recycle as much of each vehicle as possible, better for your yard and better for Rotorua’s lakes and whenua.

10+ years helping Kiwi vehicle owners
We’ve been doing this a long time, there’s not much we haven’t seen: farm trucks stuck in paddocks, dead vans behind workshops, rusty college runabouts in student driveways.

Straight-up, no-surprises quotes
The price we agree is the price we pay when we arrive, provided the vehicle matches the description. No sneaky last-minute drops.

We’re easy to deal with
Friendly team, plain-English explanations, no pushy sales talk. If you just want a ballpark price and time to think, that’s totally fine.

FAQs: Cash for Cars & Car Wreckers Rotorua

Pretty much, yes. As local car wreckers in Rotorua, we buy:

  • Non-running, dead or badly damaged vehicles
  • No WOF, no Rego or deregistered cars
  • Old, high-km work utes and farm 4×4s
  • Wrecked, crashed or written-off vehicles


If it’s completely burnt out or stripped to a bare shell, we’ll still try to help with scrap removal, just be aware the offer might be lower.

Most everyday vehicles land somewhere between a few hundred and a few thousand dollars, depending on:

  • Make, model and year
  • Demand for parts
  • Overall condition and completeness
  • Location / access for our truck


For late-model utes, 4×4s, vans and trucks in good demand, we can pay up to $12,000.

Nope, car removal is free. Our price includes:

  • Pickup from your home, workplace, farm or roadside (if safe)
  • Towing, loading and paperwork
  • Responsible recycling / wrecking of the vehicle

Yes. We buy deregistered, no-WOF and no-Rego vehicles every day in Rotorua. Private buyers often avoid them; because we wreck and recycle, they’re still valuable to us.

In most Rotorua suburbs, we can usually offer same-day or next-day pickup, especially if you call before midday. For rural properties or out-of-the-way spots, we’ll confirm the soonest truck run we can schedule.
