100% Coverage across Kent
Known as the ‘Garden of England’ owing to its countless orchards and allotments, over a quarter of Kent is regarded as an ‘Area of Outsanding Natural Beauty’, thanks to both the North Downs and the High Weald. Some of the… less pretty… areas of Kent are some of the most economically important, with Dartford, Ashford and Ebsfleet playing home to major transport locations – be it the Dartford Crossings or Ashford and Ebbsfleet International rail stations, where you can hop on a Eurostar and be on mainland Europe in no time at all. For many Kent residents, international rail travel isn’t the norm, and driving around the county’s roads, if you can find space between the thousands of trucks waiting on space on a ferry, is the usual option. If your car has driven around a little too much and is need of a spruce up, then using National Scrap Car to get the best price for yours is probably the best option. Not only can we get you an unbeatable quote, but we’ll even come and collect it absolutely free of charge from your driveway.
We offer complete scrap coverage across Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Dartford, Chatham and Rochester.
Prices in Kent are mostly determined by scrap yards local to the city which follows the average cost for scrap metal in the south east of England. All vehicles that need to be scrapped have their prices determined by their weight. Small variables include things like alloy wheels being present.
Heavier vehicles like scrap vans or 4x4s will have more metal that can be recycled, and a better price offered. We only work with approved scrap yards (known as an Authorised Treatment Facility) which will depollute and recycle your car or van ethically and legally.
The prices we offer include free collection from wherever you are in Kent, help with the paperwork and high professional standards to ensure a smooth experience from start to finish.
Whether your car or van is in the international rail hub of Ashford or out by the beach in Margate, our approved scrap yards across the UK offer car collection from where you are. At the time of booking we’ll ensure recovery vehicles can access your vehicle.

Scrapping your vehicle FAQs
After you have agreed the price on offer, you can provide us with more details regarding the status of the car and us getting access to it. You don’t need to empty, clean, or modify your car in any way but please remove anything you don’t want destroyed at the time of scrapping.
Once we have all the necessary details we will pass this on to the scrap yard that has offered you the best price. They will be in touch via phone to arrange a convenient time to pick up the vehicle. On the day they’ll phone as they approach and request things like the V5C (which you aren’t required to have) or keys (again, not necessarily required so long as the vehicle can still be removed). You, as the owner, don’t have to be present on the day but you’ll need a signed note from the owner and photo ID.
We make payment on the same day the car is collected. Once the scrap yard has notified us of car being present and correct, we’ll release payment via BACS to the account you have provided. You should see the cash available to you that day.
