Getting an instant valuation for your car or van takes just a few minutes. Our online system pulls official DVLA data, assesses your vehicle’s condition, and provides an accurate cash offer based on real-time market values. The entire process is free, requires no account, and gives you a firm price valid for four days.
Step 1 — Enter Your Registration
The valuation process begins with your vehicle registration number. Enter your reg into our online form, and our system instantly retrieves official data from the DVLA database. This pulls through essential details including the make, model, year of manufacture, engine size, and fuel type automatically.
Once the system displays your vehicle’s details, you confirm everything is correct and add your current mileage. This ensures we are valuing the right vehicle and allows us to factor in how much the vehicle has been used. The more accurate your mileage figure, the more precise your valuation will be.
Step 2 — Tell Us About Your Vehicle’s Condition
After confirming your vehicle details, you describe its current condition. This is where honesty really matters. Our system uses condition categories to adjust the base valuation, ensuring you get a realistic price rather than an inflated figure that gets reduced when we inspect the vehicle.
You select a condition category that best describes your vehicle overall, then note any specific damage such as dents, scratches, interior wear, or windscreen chips. We also ask about mechanical issues including warning lights, unusual noises, or known faults. Your MOT status matters too — whether it has months remaining, is due soon, or has already expired.
Being upfront about condition issues means the price you see online is the price you receive at collection. This avoids disappointment and speeds up the entire process.
Step 3 — Get Your Instant Valuation
As soon as you have described your vehicle’s condition, our valuation system considers multiple factors: make and model, age, mileage, condition, and current market data. This ensures the offer reflects what vehicles like yours are actually selling for right now.
Your price appears on screen immediately. There is no waiting for callbacks, no email negotiations, and no need to create an account. The valuation is valid for four days, giving you time to consider the offer, compare it with other quotes, or decide whether now is the right time to sell.
The price you see is a genuine cash offer, not an estimate or a starting point for negotiation. If you accept and the vehicle matches your description, that is the amount we pay you.

Step 4 — Accept and Book Collection
If you are happy with your valuation, accepting is straightforward. Complete the acceptance online and immediately book a collection date and time that suits you.
Collection can be arranged at your home, workplace, or any other convenient location across the UK. You do not need to travel to a depot or arrange your own transport. Our driver comes to you, wherever is most convenient. The collection service is completely free, with no charges deducted from your agreed price.
Step 5 — Get Paid Same Day
When our driver arrives, they carry out a quick inspection of your vehicle. This typically takes 15 to 20 minutes and covers the key points you described during the online valuation. The driver checks that the condition matches what you told us, verifies the mileage, and confirms the vehicle is as described.
Provided everything matches, the driver confirms the agreed price and processes payment immediately. We use instant bank transfer, so the money arrives in your account the same day. All the necessary paperwork is handled on the spot, including DVLA notification.
If the vehicle’s condition differs significantly from your description, the driver will explain any adjustment and give you the option to proceed or decline. There is no obligation, and we will never pressure you into accepting a revised offer.
What Makes Our Valuations Accurate
Unlike basic valuation tools that only consider age and mileage, our system uses real-time market data sourced from trade networks. This means we know what vehicles like yours are actually selling for today, not what they were worth months ago.
We also apply condition-adjusted pricing. A five-year-old vehicle in excellent condition with full service history is worth more than the same model with bodywork damage and no records. Our system accounts for these differences, giving you a price that reflects your specific vehicle.
One of the biggest frustrations with some car buying services is hidden deductions at collection. Sellers receive an online quote, only to find the actual payment is lower when the driver arrives. We do not operate that way. As long as your vehicle matches the description you provided, the price stands. No surprise deductions. Visit our how it works page for more details about the process.
