The cabs we see most often in Hertfordshire.
Roughly half our intake is Toyota, Prius and Corolla Hybrid dominate private-hire nationally. The rest splits across premium German PHV, Hackney specialists and ULEZ-compliant workhorses.
How collection works from Hertfordshire
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 Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire.
Free collection from Hertfordshire
If you accept, we collect free across WD1-WD25 (Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Rickmansworth), same day where logistics allow. Drop-off at our HQ in Bethnal Green E2 also welcome.
Watford 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.
Watford FAQ
What Watford drivers ask first.
I work mostly in London but I'm Watford-licensed. Does that affect resale?
Not negatively. Watford BC and other Hertfordshire-licensed PHVs operating across the Greater London boundary are a normal trade pattern; the live licence retains its value for the licensed-trade buyer pool. We handle the WBC surrender as part of post-collection workflow.
Do you collect across South Hertfordshire?
Yes, free collection across WD1-WD25 plus Hemel Hempstead, Rickmansworth, and the wider South Herts commuter area. Watford collections slot into our M25 route, typically 24-48h from offer acceptance.
M25 commuter mileage shows on the odometer. Does that hurt the offer?
No. Motorway-dominated PHV mileage is gentler on the drivetrain than urban PHV stop-start; we price M25-commuter saloons + estates at the top of the band when service history shows the use pattern. M1 + M25 service intervals are visible signals.
Faster Payment cleared on collection day?
Same day, inside 90 seconds of our driver triggering the transfer. You watch it land on your banking app before the keys change hands. Outstanding finance settled direct with your lender.
