What we buy in Newcastle
The North East cab trade. We know it.
The North East fleet
Toyota Prius, Corolla Hybrid, Hyundai Ioniq and Hackney cabs run the Newcastle trade. High mileage on city and A1(M) work is normal for us. We check hybrid battery health at collection with OBD2. Mileage alone is not what we price against.
Clean Air Zone: £12.50 per shift
Newcastle's CAZ charges non-compliant taxis and private hire vehicles £12.50 a day (private cars are not charged). At 5 shifts a week that's over £3,000 a year. We buy those vehicles at trade value for the export and out-of-CAZ market. Sell now and stop the bleed before it gets worse.
Free collection across NE postcodes
Free collection across all NE postcodes: Newcastle, Gateshead, Sunderland, South Shields, North Tyneside. 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 Newcastle?
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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle drivers ask first.
Newcastle's CAZ charges £12.50/day for non-compliant taxis, what does that mean for my resale?+
Pre-Euro-6 diesel Hackneys and PHVs pay the CAZ charge every shift, roughly £3,750 a year at 5 days a week. Local resale on those cars dropped sharply through 2023. We pay trade value, not the depressed retail price. Sell now and recover most of the gap before the charges mount up further.
Do you collect across the North East, Gateshead, Sunderland, North Tyneside?+
Yes, free across NE1-NE99 plus Sunderland, South Shields and the wider Tyne and Wear region. We collect from an agreed location at a time arranged with you, and you are paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves.
I'm a Newcastle hackney plate-holder, do you handle the surrender paperwork?+
Yes. We need plate-removal confirmation from Newcastle City Council Licensing before settlement, and we can submit the surrender request for you. Add 5 to 7 working days for the paperwork. You are still paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves, whatever the council timeline.
Faster Payment to a Northern bank, any timing issues?+
None. Paid in full by bank transfer before your vehicle leaves. Faster Payment works the same UK-wide, and the money usually arrives within minutes.
