Too many things in life are unnecessarily complicated, so we set out to ensure that that British Car Buyers process was as simple and secure as an easy 3-step process.

Step 1: Valuation

Enter your vehicle registration details, check that it is the correct car, then all we will need are a couple of further pieces of information (so make sure you have them to hand) – car mileage, number of previous owners and whether it has service history.

Step 2: Confirmation & Booking

If you are happy with the valuation, a member of our customer support team will contact you to confirm some final points, give you your final quote and arrange a convenient time for us to collect your car.

Step 3: Collection & Payment

A member of our collections team will arrive at your preferred location and time, check the paperwork and that the condition of the car matches the description you have given us, the money will be transferred to your bank immediately.
