How does our service support communities?

Road safety around London is improving. In fact, the number of serious and fatal accidents in Greater London has reduced by 24% over the last 10 years – making the area one of the safest places to drive in the UK. That said, the city still sees over 4,500 accidents annually – with many of the cars involved written-off by insurance companies.

At Car.co.uk we can transform written off cars like these into incredible opportunities. By using our service if you hope to scrap your car for cash in London, you’re helping us to support UK charities that provide outstanding social value programmes across the country.

Did you know?

Since our social value reporting began in 2015/2016, the offender rehabilitation programme, residential support schemes and food redistribution networks, founded by our very own founder, Steve Jackson OBE, have saved taxpayer-funded services £35m. That figure is on track to grow by another £10m through 2019/2020.

Using scrap cars to create real social value around the UK

An unbeatable deal for your scrap car can also be life-changing for vulnerable people around the country

When we help you to find the best scrap car prices from vehicle recyclers in the London area, our unique way of working means we're also providing an incredible service for a number of charities and good causes, both in the UK and abroad.

The social value projects we support include:

Supported living schemes for people who may otherwise face homelessness
Food redistribution networks that ensure no good food goes to waste
HMP Academies and training programmes designed to reduce reoffending

While the charity work provides an obvious benefit for the people who engage with it – a wider, overall effect is felt by communities when these projects ease the strain on the police, the courts, social housing resources, and the benefits system.

Delivering real social value that changes lives

By choosing Car.co.uk to scrap your old or damaged vehicle, you're directly supporting the life-changing work that we help to deliver.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve answered some common customer questions here. However, if you’ve got a question that’s not on the list, you’re more than welcome to browse our full range of FAQs – or get in touch using our instant messaging service.

Will I be able to keep my private number plate if I scrap my car?

Yes. You can keep your personalised registration by applying for a number plate retention through the DVLA, either online or through the post. When you have retained your plate, you’ll be able to transfer it to another vehicle - or keep it for use on a future car.

How can I declare my car as SORN?

Providing your car is not being kept or driven on a public road, you’re likely to be able to make a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN). You should do this by contacting the DVLA directly, either by post or online.

Why is it some scrap cars worth more than others?

When a car is recycled and scrapped, the value is based around its weight – and since different cars weigh different amounts, that price will vary. However, we work with many specialist car scrap yards in London who buy specific makes and models – so we’ll always try to get you the maximum possible price.

Are your London scrap car prices guaranteed or will I be expected to haggle?

You won’t need to haggle! Our recovery partners will inspect the car upon collection; as long as it’s been accurately described when we provided a quote, you’ll receive the price that was agreed.

Can you take commercial vehicles at your London scrap yards?

Yes, we can. We work with a network of London car scrap dealers who have the means to scrap, recycle and salvage a huge range of vehicles – from small cars to large commercial and industrial vehicles.

Will you still be able to buy my scrap car in London if it doesn’t have wheels?

It depends. Some of the collection partners we work with to scrap cars in London do have specialist vehicles for this. Please email us to confirm before accepting a scrap car quote.
