This Summer, We’re Supporting Brake

This summer, we’re proud to be supporting Brake; a charity that sits closer to what we do than almost any other.

Every vehicle that comes through Scrap Car Comparison tells a story. Some are simply old, others have been in accidents, and some have come off the road in far more serious circumstances.

Brake has been working to make UK roads safer for decades. They campaign for better legislation, raise awareness of the dangers that still exist on our roads, and support the families whose lives have been turned upside down by road crashes.

When you scrap your car with us this month, you’ll have the option to put a donation towards Brake. Most of our customers give just £1, but we’ve seen first-hand through our charity programme, which has now raised over £1 million, just how far those small contributions can go.

Donate a Car Scheme

Scrap Car Comparison’s Donate A Car scheme allows you to get rid of your old, damaged or unwanted vehicle and give the profit you make to one of our chosen charity partners. You can choose to donate all, or just some of the profits which all go towards bettering someone else’s life. Through this scheme we have raised hundreds of thousands for well over 50 partners, ranging from local charities to major national and international causes.

How To Donate Your Car

1. Simply tell us about the car you want to scrap or salvage through our easy online car scrapping quote form. 
2. We’ll give you a call straight back to confirm the details. Often, with a bit more detail from you we can improve the offer. 
3. We’ll then ask you if you want to donate the car, or part donate a small amount of your profit to our current charity. 
4. It’s that easy. 

How much could you raise?

Scrap vehicles

If your car is for the scrap heap then it will be taken to an Authorised Treatment Facility for recycling. The price for your vehicle depends on its weight, with the highest values paid to those with higher readings on the scales.

Salvage Vehicles

Vehicles that may be too good to scrap can be bought by specialist buyers as salvage. These vehicles will be broken down and used for reusable parts. As a result, your vehicle will be worth much more to potential buyers and therefore presents you with the opportunity to make a higher donation to the charity. 

Don’t want to donate the whole lot?

Many of our customers are scrapping a car to contribute the profits to their next purchase. In these cases we invite you to make a donation of whatever you can afford.
