Why sell to us
Four reasons Newcastle drivers pick SellYourCab.
Free collection
Across NE1-NE99 (Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland). Same-day where logistics allow, never deducted from the offer. Drop-off at Bethnal Green E2 also available.
No buyer fees, ever
Auction houses skim 8 to 12 percent. We don't. The offer we email is the number that hits your bank, minus only outstanding finance settled directly with your lender.
Plate-strip + V5C handled
TfL deplating, V5C transfer, finance settlement. We handle the admin in-house so you walk away clean. Most drivers expect to chase paperwork for weeks; you don't with us.
Makes we buy from Newcastle
The cabs we see most often in Tyne and Wear.
Roughly half our intake is Toyota. Prius and Corolla Hybrid dominate the private-hire trade nationally. The rest splits across premium German private-hire cars, Hackney specialists and ULEZ-compliant workhorses.
How collection works from Tyne and Wear
Reg to bank transfer in four steps.
Submit your reg
Reg + mileage on the form above. We pull DVLA data and ask four honest questions about condition, finance, damage and service history. Takes about two minutes.
Firm offer within 2 hours
A real valuer reviews every enquiry from Tyne and Wear by hand. You get a fair, firm number by call, SMS or email depending on what you ticked. The offer holds for 72 hours.
Free collection from Tyne and Wear
If you accept, we arrange free collection across NE1-NE99 (Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland). Same-day where logistics allow, next-working-day otherwise. You can also drop off at SellYourCab HQ in Bethnal Green E2.
Bank transfer on the day
Faster Payment cleared before the keys change hands. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender. No chasing, no quarter-end delays.
Newcastle FAQ
What Newcastle drivers ask first.
Do you actually collect from Newcastle for free?
Yes, anywhere across NE1-NE99 (Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland). Free UK mainland collection has been the standard since we started; we don't deduct collection fees from the offer the way auction houses do. If you'd rather drop off, our office at Bethnal Green E2 is open Monday to Saturday 8am to 8pm.
How long from offer to money in my account?
Typically same-day once collection's complete. You see the agreed amount, you hand over the V5C and keys, we move the Faster Payment, you watch it clear before we drive away. Outstanding finance settled separately with your lender ahead of collection.
My Newcastle cab is on a PCO plate that's about to expire. Still buy?
Yes. Expired plate, lapsed plate, never plated, all welcome. We handle TfL deplating (£150 line-item, not deducted from your offer) and the V5C transfer ourselves. Drivers often think a lapsed plate scraps the value; on a clean Prius it doesn't.
What if I have an accident or insurance write-off history?
Tell us up-front in the assumptions step. We still buy categorised vehicles. Minor accident damage (Cat-N) is roughly £800 to £1,500 off the clean-equivalent offer depending on spec and repair quality; structural damage (Cat-S) more. Hiding it doesn't help; we run the history check before collection and a renegotiation on the day is the worst outcome for both of us.
