The short answer
How much is my cab worth in Edinburgh?
Your Edinburgh cab's value comes down to the model, mileage, licence status and condition, not a one-size algorithm. A real valuer reviews your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours, priced against live Scotland trade demand and our own recent sales of the same vehicle. Free collection, same-day bank transfer, zero buyer fees.

Edinburgh FAQ
What Edinburgh drivers ask first.
Edinburgh's LEZ kicked in June 2024, what's the impact on resale?
Pre-Euro-6 diesel cabs and PHVs are no longer LEZ-compliant for city-centre work. Local retail values dropped 15-25% on those vehicles through 2024. We pay trade value (close to pre-LEZ), so selling to us recovers most of what the LEZ has taken off resale.
Do you collect from Edinburgh and the Lothians for free?
Yes, EH1-EH55 plus the wider Lothian region. Our Scotland route runs every 7-10 days; we can also lift from East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian, and Fife by arrangement.
I drive an Edinburgh-licensed private hire car, are there extra steps?
One small one on your side. The City of Edinburgh Council asks you to surrender the operator licence number sticker when the car leaves the licensed fleet; you do that with the council directly. It doesn't hold up your sale, you're paid same-day on collection and we handle the logbook transfer.
Faster Payment to a Scottish bank, any delay?
No. Faster Payment is UK-wide, RBS, Bank of Scotland, TSB, all clear inside 90 seconds. We move the funds before our driver moves the vehicle.
