Cash for cars, Edinburgh, EH1–EH54 same-day transfer

Reg and postcode, then a number within minutes. Bank transfer happens at your kerb on collection day, no waiting weeks for a cheque to clear, no "subject to inspection" deductions. Edinburgh collection runs Tuesday and Friday from our Glasgow base.

Edinburgh customers don't get a different rulebook

Same Scrap Metal Dealers Act, same instant bank transfer, same firm-quote policy as our Glasgow side. The only Edinburgh-specific note is the collection cadence: we run an EH-postcode loop twice a week (Tuesday and Friday) rather than daily, because the M8 round-trip is real fuel cost. The price absorbs that, so the figure we quote already accounts for the drive. See our ATF process for the paperwork side.

Cash for cars Edinburgh, common questions

Why only Tuesdays and Fridays for Edinburgh?

Because the M8 round-trip from Glasgow is 90 minutes each way, so we batch Edinburgh collections to keep the costs sensible. Running daily would mean either charging a fuel surcharge or quoting less per car. Twice-weekly batched runs keeps the price competitive.

Can I get same-day Edinburgh collection?

Sometimes, if there's a Tuesday or Friday slot still open. Outside those days we'll book the next available batch. Honestly, planning two days ahead gets you a better price than chasing same-day everywhere.

Do you cover Leith, Portobello, Morningside?

Yes, all EH postcodes EH1 to EH54. Leith (EH6) and Portobello (EH15) are the easy ones because they sit near the eastern entry. Morningside, Corstorphine and the western EH postcodes add a few minutes but no surcharge.

My car's in an Edinburgh tenement with a permit zone, will you struggle?

Old town and New Town tenements with strict residents'-only parking can be tight. Tell us the postcode and we'll check if a temporary trade-pass via the council is worth arranging, or if we should pair the collection with another nearby job for efficient parking.

Is the price the same as a Glasgow quote for the same car?

Usually identical. The collection cost is already factored into our standard pricing. The only time an Edinburgh quote comes in slightly lower than Glasgow is on very low-value cars where the M8 fuel becomes a noticeable share of margin. We'll quote honestly either way.
