How It Works
Five simple steps from registration to payment. Most drivers complete the whole process in under 24 hours.
Sell Your Cab in 5 Steps
No paperwork headaches. No waiting around. Just a fair price and fast payment.
Head to our homepage and type your vehicle registration into the yellow box. Our system instantly looks up your vehicle using DVLA data, so we know exactly what you're driving before we even speak to you. No forms to fill out, no account to create — just your reg and you're off.
60 secondsWe automatically pull your vehicle's make, model, year, fuel type, and engine size from the DVLA database. All you need to do is check that everything looks right and confirm. If anything has changed — like a replacement engine or a colour change — you can update it here. This takes seconds, not minutes.
30 secondsGive us a quick honest overview of your vehicle's condition. Current mileage, general wear and tear, any bodywork damage, mechanical issues, or service history details. Be honest — it helps us give you an accurate price first time, and means no surprises for either side when we come to collect. We don't penalise you for high mileage — we understand taxis.
2 minutesBased on the details you've provided, combined with our specialist taxi market data, we give you a fair, competitive price for your vehicle. This isn't a generic algorithm — it's a real valuation from people who buy taxis every single day. There's zero obligation to accept, and we won't pressure you. Take your time, shop around if you want. We're confident our price is the best you'll get.
InstantHappy with the price? We'll arrange free collection from wherever suits you — your home, your rank, your garage, anywhere in the UK. Our driver arrives at the agreed time, does a quick check, handles all the paperwork on the spot, and transfers the full amount straight to your bank account. Most drivers have money in their account the same day. Job done.
