What our customers say
“Great quote, over £100 more than other competitors. Simple online process, van collected soon after, money straight in the bank. Recovery driver very helpful with my non runner van that wasn't in the easiest position to take away. Highly recommend.”

Selling a van in Essex
Essex is one of England's most active van markets, a combination of a large construction sector (particularly in South Essex serving the London fringe), the Port of Tilbury, Stansted Airport logistics, and thousands of sole traders.
South Essex (Basildon, Southend, Grays, Thurrock) has some of the UK's highest van density per household, a cultural reflection of the large self-employed tradesperson community. North Essex (Colchester, Chelmsford, Braintree) is more mixed. The M25 and A12 are key logistics arteries. We collect from all Essex postcodes.

Selling your van in Essex, common questions
Do you collect from South Essex, Basildon, Grays, Thurrock, and the A13 corridor?
+
Yes. South Essex is one of our most active collection areas. Same-day collection is frequently available here given the network density.
London ULEZ is close to South Essex, does that affect my offer?
+
Yes, if the van is pre-Euro 6 diesel and the buyer intends to use it in London. Our offer already accounts for this, we price to the actual resale route rather than an optimistic private-buyer figure.
Do you cover the Port of Tilbury and logistics parks along the Thames?
+
Yes. The Tilbury and Thurrock logistics corridor is well within our coverage. Business and commercial addresses are fine.
Can I sell a van used for the construction trade in Essex?
+
Yes. Construction-trade vans are our core market. Enter the reg and get an offer, condition is assessed accurately.
What about North Essex, Colchester, Clacton, Harwich?
+
North Essex including the coastal towns is covered. Colchester has good M25/A12 access and is straightforward. Coastal towns may take a day longer.
