What we buy in Bristol
The Bristol cab trade. We know it.
The Bristol fleet: hybrid and EV
Toyota Prius, Corolla Hybrid, Hyundai Ioniq and Kia Niro run Bristol private hire. The Clean Air Zone has sped up the switch to EV. We buy the full range, from retiring diesels to current-gen EVs, and check the HV battery on every hybrid at collection with OBD2.
Clean Air Zone: diesels and hybrids
Bristol's CAZ has been live since 2022. Non-compliant pre-Euro-6 cars pay £9 a day in the zone. We buy those cars at trade value for export and out-of-CAZ resale. Compliant hybrids and EVs trade even stronger, because the next wave of Bristol drivers wants them.
Free collection across BS postcodes
Free collection across all BS postcodes: Bristol, Bath, Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon and North Somerset. We collect from an agreed location, or you drop off at our Bethnal Green HQ, at a time arranged with you. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
The short answer
How much is my cab worth in Bristol?
It comes down to the model, mileage, licence status and condition, not a computer. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours, priced against live Bristol trade demand and what we paid for the same vehicle last week. Free collection, paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves, no fees for sellers.

Common questions
What Bristol drivers ask first.
Bristol's CAZ charges £9 per day for non-compliant cars. Does that affect what you'll pay?+
No. Non-compliant pre-Euro-6 diesels are exactly the cars drivers sell to us before the charges mount up. We pay trade value for the export and out-of-CAZ market, typically above a local dealer. The CAZ is why we see strong volume out of Bristol.
My hybrid has high mileage on Bristol city streets. Still worth selling?+
Yes. High-mileage private hire hybrids are normal for us. We check battery health at collection with OBD2. A healthy pack at 180k beats a tired one at 70k. Tell us the reg and we'll firm an offer in 2 hours.
I'm Bristol City Council licensed. Any extra steps?+
A normal sale for us. We handle the logbook transfer in-house. Live or lapsed plate, both bought. You are paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
When does payment clear?+
Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. Once the vehicle and paperwork checks are done we send the Faster Payment, and you watch it land on your banking app before we move the vehicle. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender on the day.
