A great deal for charities around the UK

Car accidents in Kent put a huge strain on taxpayer-funded local authority services. In fact, collisions on the road cost a colossal £389 million pounds each year – which breaks down to an additional £218 on local people’s council tax bills year-on-year.

At Car.co.uk, we work hard to make sure cars that have been damaged in accidents like these are used to give something back to local communities. To do so, we’ve developed a social value program that supports charities and good causes.

When you use our service to scrap your car in Kent, part of the money it helps us to generate will be donated to a range of causes – including food re-distribution networks and adult training schemes.

What types of car can we scrap

Whether your car’s been in an accident or just seen better days, our partners have the equipment needed to pick it up.

Un-roadworthy cars
MOT failures
Junk and salvage cars
Fleet cars
Insurance write-offs
Damaged cars

Did you know?

Since our social value reporting began in 2015/2016, Car.co.uk's offender rehabilitation programmes, residential support schemes and food redistribution networks have saved taxpayer-funded services £17m. That figure is on track to grow by another £10m through 2018/2019.

Did you know?

In 2019/2020, the social value projects, of the charity founded by Steve Jackson OBE (also our own Founder) saved taxpayers over £8m. Around £3.4m of social value was generated by our food redistribution network; £167,000 by our residential support services, and nearly £4.5m by the offender rehabilitation services we founded. Next year, our support will help to add another £10m to this total.

Making the motor industry work for local communities

How will your car help us to continue our support of UK charities and good causes?

When you recycle your old or damaged vehicle by selling with Car.co.uk, you won't just get the best scrap car prices in Kent – you also get to know that a portion of our profits from each car we scrap will be used to grow incredible social value projects across the country.

The projects we support include:

Offender employment and rehabilitation schemes
Food banks and school breakfast clubs
Assisted living provisions for vulnerable people

As well as providing much-needed support for the people who directly access these initiatives, the benefits are felt much more widely in local communities – often easing the pressure on taxpayer-funded services.

Directly helping charitable causes

We know you might not ordinarily think about life-changing charity initiatives and the car industry as working together – but we're changing that – and scrapping your old or accident damaged car with our service will help us make this change.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve covered a few of our customers most frequently asked questions here – to make sure scrapping your car is quick and straightforward.

What’s an ATF?

An ATF (authorised treatment facility) is a scrap yard that has proved it meets with strict regulation about how scrap metal and other materials are handled. Since the DVLA will only allow ATFs to carry out their official scrapping process, all the scrap yards we work with in Kent meet this standard.

Should I let the DVLA know my car isn’t being used?

It depends. If you’re not going to use or store the car on the road before it’s removed to be scrapped then you may want to declare the car as SORN (a Statutory Off-Road Notification). It’s important that you don’t drive the car if it’s SORN however, as it could lead to prosecution.

When will I be paid if I use your scrap car removal service in Kent?

You’ll be paid after your vehicle is collected. We do this to ensure every vehicle we handle has been described accurately when we issued a quote.

I’ll need a fixed time for collection around my working hours. Is that possible?

Yes, that’s no problem. You’ll be able to pick a collection time slot that works for you when you accept your quote.

Are your prices guaranteed?

Yes, they are. As long as the car has been accurately described when we issued our quote, the price you were offered is the price you’ll receive.

What happens if I can’t find my car keys?

Don’t worry, missing keys shouldn’t cause a problem. Since the companies we use for scrap car collection around Kent often deal with accident damaged cars, they are used to moving cars that can’t be started or unlocked.
