Stay free of the CAZ fee!

If you’re from or live in Bristol, you’ll know that a category D Clean Air Zone (CAZ) was introduced to the city in November 2022. Since then, residents have been opting for CAZ-compliant cars to avoid the CAZ charge.

Bristol has fantastic infrastructure for EVs, which is rapidly developing and expanding. If you’re in Bristol and have been thinking about making the switch to EV, selling your car to us could help you cover some of the costs towards your new one.

If you have an older, non-compliant vehicle, there has never been a better time to sell your car in Bristol.
