Sell Your Private Hire Vehicle

<h2>Private Hire Vehicle Specialists</h2><p>Private hire vehicles make up the majority of the UK's licensed taxi fleet. Unlike hackney carriages, PHVs come in all shapes and sizes — from compact saloons to executive cars, from hybrid hatchbacks to wheelchair-accessible MPVs. This variety means there's no one-size-fits-all approach to valuation, which is exactly why specialist buyers like us offer better prices than generic car buying services.</p><h3>Why PHVs Need Specialist Valuation</h3><p>A private hire vehicle is judged differently from a regular car. Yes, they typically have higher mileage, but they're also generally well-maintained because they need to pass regular council inspections. A PHV-spec Prius with 180,000 miles that's been serviced every 10,000 miles and MOT'd every six months is a better-maintained vehicle than most private cars — and we price accordingly.</p><p>We also understand the licensing angle. A vehicle that's currently plated with an active private hire licence has additional value because it can be put straight to work by a new driver. We factor this into our pricing.</p><h3>What We Buy</h3><p>We buy all types of private hire vehicles, regardless of make, model, or licensing authority:</p><ul><li><strong>Saloons</strong> — Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia, Volkswagen Passat, Ford Mondeo</li><li><strong>Executive cars</strong> — Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6</li><li><strong>MPVs</strong> — Ford Galaxy, Volkswagen Sharan, SEAT Alhambra</li><li><strong>SUVs and crossovers</strong> — used for executive and airport transfer work</li><li><strong>Electric vehicles</strong> — Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf, MG4, BYD models</li></ul><p>Whether your vehicle is licensed in London with a PCO badge, in Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, or any other UK licensing authority, we'll buy it and give you a price that reflects what it's actually worth as a licensed taxi.</p>

Common questions

Private Hire Vehicle FAQ

Straight answers about selling your Private Hire Vehicle.

It depends. If the vehicle still has an active private hire licence, it can have additional value because a new driver can put it straight to work. Even without a licence, we value PHVs based on taxi market data rather than generic car prices, which typically means a better price for you.

No. We buy vehicles with or without active licences. If your licence has lapsed or the vehicle has been taken off the road, we'll still buy it and value it fairly.

No problem. Whether your car has operator branding, livery, or signage, we buy it as-is. You don't need to remove anything before we collect.

Yes. We buy private hire vehicles licensed by any UK council or licensing authority. The specific council doesn't affect whether we'll buy it — though it may affect the value, which we'll factor into our specialist valuation.
