Licence authority
TfL, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, every UK council. We buy vehicles licensed by any of them.
Hybrid & saloon specialist
Toyota Prius, Auris, Corolla, Octavia, Mercedes E-Class, Galaxy and S-Max, valued by a real person. A firm offer in two hours, paid the same day.

The short answer
It comes down to the model, the licensing and the condition. We buy the cars that run the trade, Toyota Prius, Auris, Corolla hybrid, Skoda Octavia, Mercedes E-Class, Ford Galaxy and VW Passat, and we have buyers for all of them. The plate authority does not matter: TfL, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh or any smaller council, the valuation process is the same. Private hire cars work 60 to 80 hours a week, so the miles climb fast, and we value service history and maintenance receipts over the raw odometer. A lapsed plate does not make the car worthless, and ex-Uber history does not lower the offer. A real valuer checks your reg by hand and sends a firm offer within 2 hours, free UK collection, same-day bank transfer, no buyer fees.

Private-hire cars work 60-80 hours a week, so mileage moves fast. We value service history and maintenance receipts over the raw mileage number.
Council licences expire if you stop driving, but that doesn't make the car worthless. Same-day pay regardless of licence status.
Common questions
Yes. We buy council-licensed PHVs from every UK licensing authority, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Bristol, and every smaller council too.
The TfL licence is London-only. Outside London, each council issues its own plate with similar conditions but different format and renewal cycle. To us they are all private hire vehicles, same valuation process, same offer turnaround, same buyer network.
We're a direct buyer, not a dealer, so no part-exchange. Most drivers sell their current PHV to us for cash, then put that toward the new one. It often beats a dealer part-ex.
Yes. Ex-Uber Prius, Corolla, Octavia, Galaxy, all the common models. Uber history doesn't lower the offer. Bring your ride-share insurance docs if you have them.
