Scrap vs Salvage

Is your van damaged or not-running? National Scrap Car deal with salvage vehicles too! This means:

Any surviving parts will be saved from the crusher.
It’s better for the environment.
It’s better for your bank balance.
Our service doesn’t change when scrapping or salvaging an old van. Simply use the quote form to tell us the details – once our advisors have asked you a few additional questions we’ll be able to get you the best price either through scrapping, breaking down for parts, or fully salvaging.

What Do I Need To Scrap My Van?

The collection of your old vehicle has been simplified as much as possible. All you’ll need to hand is:

  • The vehicle’s V5C log book.
  • At least one form of photo identification.
  • Any vehicle service/MOT/maintenance history.

Don’t worry if you’re missing any of the above. You can still scrap your van with National Scrap Car. Find out how here.

Scrapping FAQs

What happens on the day of collection?

When your van is due to be picked up, it’ll need to be in a location that is accessible to a large collection truck. You should also make sure you have the required documentation (listed above) and, if possible, give the inside of the van a tidy up. Dirt is fine, but rubbish should be removed.

Is my quote really guaranteed?

Yes! The quote you accept is guaranteed. This means that regardless of which way the metal market fluctuates, your quote is safe and is the price you’ll receive upon collection. In order to generate the best price for your van, please ensure you give us as much detail on the condition. 

How will I receive payment once my van is gone?

Your full payment will be sent to you by bank transfer. This will be authorised as soon as the vehicle has been collected. Usually, payments are processed the very same day, but there can occasionally be a slight delay.

Do I have to pay anything to scrap my van?

With National Scrap Car’s service, you won’t pay a penny to have your van taken away. There are no hidden charges and we will never try to negotiate on your quote – it’s a completely free service.

Can I scrap an entire fleet of vans?

Yes! Don’t go through the hassle of scrapping your old work vans one-by-one. National Scrap Car allows you to sell your entire fleet in one go and receive one huge lump sum of money for them all!

Is scrapping my van bad for the environment?

No. Quite the opposite, in fact. By law, at least 95% of every vehicle that’s disposed of must be recycled. Metal, rubber, plastic… you name it. Even the fuel and oils! That other 5% doesn’t pollute the planet, either. There are strict eco-friendly regulations in place throughout 100% of the process.
