How do I Dispose of a Hurricane Damaged Vehicle?
I need to sell my car after a hurricane
If your vehicle was damaged or flooded by a hurricane and the cost of repairs are worth more than the vehicle, the vehicle is non-repairable or potentially unsafe, the best way is to sell the vehicle is to licensed dismantlers or recyclers.
There are two separate conditions that should be considered
Was an Insurance Claim made on the vehicle? Could there be?
If no claim was filed or if you lack the comprehensive coverage for hurricane losses then disposing of your vehicle can be a confusing landscape.
In either case, you have a legal and of course ethical responsibility to disclose the nature and the extent of the damage. Misrepresenting this type of damage can be very dangerous and create liability for you as the seller.
You should also be very careful about whom you sell your vehicle to. Usually, after a natural disaster, there will be a large number of ‘opporunitistic’ buyers who will try to acquire affected vehicles and then later try to pass them off as ‘clean’ units. We recommend only selling to licensed dealers and dismantlers who understand the importance, intricacies, and legal requirements of hurricane and flood vehicles.
You Call We Haul deals exclusively with properly licensed and insured auto recyclers and scrap operations. Using You Call We Haul’s mobile tool allows you to easily relate these details to prospective buyers and get a fair and reliable quote for your damaged car or truck.

Beware of Hurricane Vehicle Buyers
You should also be very careful about whom you sell your vehicle to. Usually, after a natural disaster, there will be a large number of ‘opportunistic’ buyers who will try to acquire affected vehicles for little money and then later try to pass them off as ‘clean’ units. We recommend only selling to licensed dealers and dismantlers who understand the important intricacies and legal requirements of hurricane and flood vehicles.

My Insurance Company Paid Me, But I Still Have the Vehicle
If your vehicle was totaled in a hurricane, fire or by collision damage, and an insurance claim was paid to you but you’re still in possession of the vehicle (this is commonly referred to as an ‘owner retained’ unit) and you are likely to receive a salvage title on your vehicle. You must carefully disclose all this information before selling the unit.
