Your car is used to support UK charities and good causes

Although accident numbers around Folkestone are slowly dropping, the picture for the wider Kent area isn’t as promising. Despite local authority initiatives, the number of serious collisions on the region’s roads is actually increasing – with the most recent figures showing 18% more accidents occurring than 5 years ago.

As a result – it’s probably no surprise to discover that the number of cars scrapped in the area is also around 20% higher than the UK average.

At Car.co.uk, we transform damaged and written-off cars like these into vital support for some of the UK’s favourite charities. When you choose our service – you don’t just get a great price – you also get to know that your car will be used to generate funding that will be used to help some of the UK’s most vulnerable people.

Frequently asked questions

We’ve used our expert knowledge to answer some of our most frequently asked questions here. If you have a question that’s not on the list, just send over your questions using our online messaging service, and we’ll be back in touch with your answer in no time!

I’ve seen the phrase ‘End of Life Vehicle’ used a lot. What does it mean?

End of Life Vehicle (ELV) is the official term used to describe a car that can no longer be used on UK roads or economically repaired. End of life vehicles must be dismantled and go through a depollution process at government authorised treatment facilities (ATFs).

Will you buy my scrap car in Folkestone if I’ve removed the tyres?

Yes, of course. We know few cars that are ready to be scrapped are in pristine condition – so missing tyres won’t be a problem. If you could let our partners know when they call to confirm your collection time, they’ll make sure the correct collection equipment is brought on pickup day.

Can someone else help with collection?

Yes, that’s fine. Scrap metal collection law states that someone over the age of 18 must be present when scrap is collected – but it doesn’t have to be a car’s owner or keeper. You’ll need to make sure the person you’ve nominated has a form of photo ID available to show our collection driver – and, if you can’t supply the V5C – a copy of a utility bill or other proof of address that’s dated within the last 3 months.

Do I get paid before the car’s picked up?

No. The car scrap dealers that we work in Folkestone are asked to inspect the car before collection, to ensure it was described accurately during the quote. Payment will be made promptly after the collection, in line with the scrap car network terms.

I need to change my mind about scrapping the car. What should I do?

If you need to change your mind about a quote – please just let us know as soon as possible. It isn’t a problem – but we do need to let our recovery partner know – so no one’s charged for a wasted journey.

Can I keep my stereo?

Yes, you can. If you’ve replaced the stereo, it would be great for us, if it’s at all possible, to put the original that came with the car back in its place.
