Get a fast, free valuation for your van from trusted UK buyers.
Selling a van in London is very different from selling a car. From rising ULEZ charges and congestion costs to parking restrictions, permit zones, and the high cost of running a commercial vehicle in the capital, many van owners reach a point where selling simply makes more financial sense.
Whether you’re a tradesperson upgrading your work vehicle, a courier reducing costs, a business managing fleet changes, or a private owner selling a personal van, our London-wide van buying service is designed to make the process fast, clear, and stress-free.
We provide instant online van valuations, free collection across all London boroughs, and straightforward payment — without the hassle of private ads, dealership negotiations, or wasted viewings.
London presents unique challenges for van owners. Unlike private cars, vans are often used daily for work, deliveries, and trade purposes, meaning downtime, maintenance costs, and compliance issues can quickly become expensive.
The expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), congestion charging, and borough-specific low-traffic neighbourhoods has significantly changed how vans can be used across the capital. Many older diesel vans that were once reliable and economical are now costly to run on a daily basis.
As a result, thousands of London van owners choose to sell rather than continue paying ongoing charges. Our service is built specifically to support van sales in this environment, offering a simple exit without pressure or obligation.
Our London van buying service is used by a wide range of individuals and businesses, including:
Because van usage varies so widely across London, we take a flexible approach that works for both commercial and private sellers.
We’ve simplified the van selling process to suit busy London schedules. There’s no obligation at any stage, and you remain in full control throughout.
This removes the need to advertise privately, organise multiple viewings, or navigate London’s parking restrictions while trying to sell.
We buy almost all types of vans across Greater London, regardless of age, mileage, or condition.
If your van is becoming expensive to keep on the road in London, selling may be the most practical option.
For many van owners, ULEZ compliance is the single biggest reason for selling. Older diesel vans can incur daily charges simply for being driven within London, quickly adding up to thousands of pounds per year.
When combined with congestion charges, fuel costs, insurance, maintenance, and parking permits, the true cost of keeping a van in London can outweigh its value — particularly for part-time or occasional use.
Selling your van allows you to avoid ongoing costs while unlocking immediate cash value.
We offer free van collection across all London boroughs. While this page focuses on vans, you can explore detailed local information on our borough car pages, which reflect the same collection coverage and logistical access.
