How collection works from Lancashire
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 Lancashire 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 Lancashire.
Free collection from Lancashire
If you accept, we collect free across PR1-PR26 (Preston, Chorley, Leyland), same day where logistics allow. Drop-off at our HQ in Bethnal Green E2 also welcome.
Preston 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.
Preston FAQ
What Preston drivers ask first.
I do mostly Manchester or Liverpool airport transfers from Preston. Does that affect the offer?
Positively. Motorway-heavy airport-PHV mileage on the M6 + M61 + M62 corridors is gentler on the drivetrain than urban stop-start; we price these at the top of their bands when service history shows the use pattern. Both airport routes are typical Preston-based PHV work.
Do you collect across central Lancashire?
Yes, free collection across PR1-PR26 plus Chorley, Leyland, and the wider central Lancashire area. Preston collections slot into our North-West route alongside Liverpool and Manchester, typically 24-48h from offer acceptance.
I'm Preston City Council licensed. Plate surrender straightforward?
Yes, PCC accepts surrender at the Town Hall licensing office. We handle the paperwork on your behalf as part of post-collection workflow; you don't need to attend. Add 3-5 working days for the council side.
Same Faster Payment timing as elsewhere?
Yes, identical workflow. Inside 90 seconds of our driver triggering the transfer. You watch it land on your banking app before the keys change hands.
