The cabs we see most often in Dorset.
Roughly half our intake is Toyota, Prius and Corolla Hybrid dominate private-hire nationally. The rest splits across premium German PHV, Hackney specialists and ULEZ-compliant workhorses.
How collection works from Dorset
Reg to bank transfer in four steps.
Submit your reg
Reg + mileage on the form above, plus four honest questions about condition, finance, damage and history. Two minutes.
No account, no phone, no email at this stage. The four honest questions are condition (excellent/good/fair/poor), outstanding finance, accident damage, and service history. Honest answers get firmer offers.
Firm offer within 2 hours
A real valuer reads every Dorset enquiry by hand. Firm number by call, SMS or email. The offer holds for 72 hours.
Overnight enquiries land on top of the morning queue, typical reply by 08:30. The valuer cross-checks your reg against trade data, our own historical sales on the same model, and active buyer-network demand in Dorset.
Free collection from Dorset
If you accept, we collect free across BH1-BH25 (Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole), same day where logistics allow. Drop-off at our HQ in Bethnal Green E2 also welcome.
Bournemouth collections slot into our regional route every 7-10 days; dedicated lifts available outside that window. Photos welcome via WhatsApp 0207 8717 671 so we can sharpen the offer before collection day.
Bank transfer on the day
Faster Payment cleared before the keys change hands. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender.
We bring the V5C transfer paperwork to your doorstep. You sign section 6, the Faster Payment clears in ~90 seconds (we wait until your banking app confirms), then we move the cab. TfL plate surrender + DVLA tax-class change handled in-house post-collection.
Bournemouth FAQ
What Bournemouth drivers ask first.
Tourist + retirement PHV, does the use pattern affect resale?
Slightly positively. Summer-peak + steady-shoulder mileage averages out to gentler drivetrain wear than year-round urban work. We price the body + plate-fitment + service history; the seasonality is a positive signal when records show consistent intervals.
Do you collect across the Bournemouth + Poole conurbation?
Yes, free collection across BH1-BH25 plus Christchurch and Poole. Bournemouth collections slot into our South Coast route alongside Southampton, typically 24-48h from offer acceptance.
BCP Council licensed. Plate surrender process?
Yes, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council accepts surrender at the civic licensing point. We handle the paperwork on your behalf as part of post-collection workflow. Add 3-5 working days for council processing.
Faster Payment timing?
Same day, inside 90 seconds. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender (we'll need the settlement letter).
