How collection works from Bedfordshire
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 Bedfordshire 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 Bedfordshire.
Free collection from Bedfordshire
If you accept, we collect free across LU1-LU7 (Luton, Dunstable, Houghton Regis), same day where logistics allow. Drop-off at our HQ in Bethnal Green E2 also welcome.
Luton 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.
Luton FAQ
What Luton drivers ask first.
I do mostly Luton Airport transfers. Does that affect my offer?
Positively. Airport-PHV mileage on motorway-heavy shifts is gentler on the drivetrain than urban stop-start; we price an airport-PHV Galaxy or Vito at the top of its band for the same odometer reading versus an urban-PHV equivalent. Bring service records that show the motorway-heavy use pattern.
Do you collect from across Bedfordshire and the wider commuter belt?
Yes, free collection across LU1-LU7 plus Dunstable, Houghton Regis, and the wider Bedfordshire PHV area. Luton collections slot into our Midlands route, typically 24-48h from offer acceptance.
I'm Luton Borough Council licensed. Is the surrender process the same as TfL?
No, councils each run their own surrender process. We handle the LBC surrender form, plate hardware return, and confirmation in your name as part of the post-collection workflow. Add 3-5 working days for council processing; payment to you stays same-day on collection.
Can you collect from the airport itself if I drop the car after a shift?
Yes, by arrangement. Our driver can meet you at the airport short-stay or long-stay car parks; we cover the parking fees up to a sensible limit. Coordinate with our team a day before so we can match collection to your shift end.
