We are independent:
We are not tied to one charity or to one firm. We have no shareholders to reward. We work with any registered UK charity and a range of different contractors up and down the country, to make sure we get the best prices.
Maximizing Impact:
Giveacar aims to maximize the value of each and every donation. Our in-house experts work hard to get the best possible trade value. We operate independently and aren't tied to any specific contractor. We choose a scrap/auction partner based on whoever can provide the highest value.
