The Process To Scrap Your Car
Scrapping your car couldn’t be easier. Just follow the quick and easy steps below,
Contact Us:
1. Firstly, get in touch with the team by calling us on 0207 736 4242 or fill out our online form and one of the team will give you a call to confirm some final details. We’ll also use this opportunity to make sure you are aware of the collection process, our fees, and your responsibility to inform your local driving authority.
Collection:
2. Our collection agents will call you to arrange the collection of your car. Some countries also require you to remove and return the licence plate from the vehicle. We recommend you check with your local driving authority if you need to do this. It is then your responsibility to inform your local driving authority where the car is registered that you are no longer the registered keeper and the car has been scrapped. To do so you will need to send them the certificate of destruction. This is issued by the ATF facility that collects your car.
Donation:
3. At Giveacar we put charity first, so depending on the condition of your scrap car we may be able to auction it instead of scrapping. We will inform you of which option we’ll take whilst we have you on the phone! If your car is destined for the scrapyard and you would like a copy of the certificate of destruction, please get in touch with the team and we’ll be happy to help. You’ll receive a receipt from Giveacar and from your charity once the donation is made. Please note it takes 6-8 weeks for your charity to receive your donation from when the car is sold.

What Happens When My Car Is Collected
To scrap a vehicle from another country in the UK, you must use an ATF. All of our partners are ATF registered meaning you’ll receive a certificate of destruction to prove that the vehicle has been destroyed. It is then your responsibility to notify the driving authority in the country where the vehicle is registered that it has been scrapped. Some countries also require you to remove and return the licence plate from the vehicle. We recommend you check with your local driving authority if you need to do this.

Our Fees
Giveacar is the only independent car donation company in the UK, and therefore our admin fee is our sole means of income. Vehicles that raise up to £249 will have a 25% admin fee applied. Vehicles with a value of £250 and over will have a 30% admin fee applied. Please note, our admin fee is subject to VAT. Once that’s done everything else goes to your nominated charity.
Our Scrap Partners
Giveacar operates its scrap car collection scheme nation-wide. We are proud to work closely with a number of Authorise Treatment Facilities (ATF) who collect on our behalf. We also have trusted auction partners if we think your car would raise more for charity at auction. Your confirmation email will detail the specific organisation that we have assigned to your collection. However, a smaller subcontractor may be responsible for the actual collection.
