How much does a car valet cost?
In South Wales a mobile car valet typically runs from £51 for an exterior-only safe wash up to £121 for a full inside-and-out valet on a small car. Below are our actual prices — the same figures you'll see when you book, with no call-out fee and no deposit.
Car valeting prices by size
All prices include travel within our Cardiff, Bridgend and Vale of Glamorgan districts, plus our own water and power.
| Package | Small car | Medium car | Large car / estate | MPV / 7+ seats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exterior Safe Washfrom 1 hr 10 min | £51 | £54 | £56.50 | £56.50 |
| Full Valetfrom 3 hr 10 min | £121 | £129.50 | £138.50 | £147 |
| Maintenance Valetfrom 1 hr 20 min | £56.50 | £59.50 | £62.50 | £65.50 |
The Maintenance Valet is a repeat-customer rate — it can't be booked as your first visit. It unlocks once you've had a Full Valet or above with us, or if you send us photos of your car and we approve its condition. Detailing work — machine polishing, paint correction and long-life protection — is priced separately on the full price list.
What changes the price
Vehicle size
A small hatchback takes less product and less time than a large estate or a 7-seat MPV, so each package is priced per size band. Vans, HGVs, caravans, campervans and motorcycles have their own rates.
How dirty it is
Pet hair, sand, spilled drinks, heavy tar or long-neglected paint take longer. If a car needs more than the booked package, we tell you the difference before we start — never after.
How often it's cleaned
Our Maintenance Valet is a lower-priced top-up rate for cars we already valet regularly. It unlocks once you've had a full valet with us.
Where you are
Travel inside our covered CF districts is included. Addresses outside them in the CF, NP and SA areas can still book — the extra mileage is added automatically at £1.70 per mile, measured from the closest district we cover, so you see it before you confirm.
Common questions on cost
- Is a mobile valet dearer than a car wash?
- It costs more than a roadside jet wash, yes — you're paying for a hand wash with no brushes, a proper interior clean, and for us coming to you instead of you queuing. Nothing to drop off, nothing to wait for.
- How long does a car valet take?
- An exterior safe wash is around 40–50 minutes on a car; a full valet is roughly 2.5–3 hours. Every package shows its on-site time when you book, and your slot is reserved for that whole window.
- Do I pay a deposit?
- No. You can pay by card online when you book or pay on the day — your choice at checkout.
- What about vans, HGVs and caravans?
- They're priced by size on their own rates. Choose the vehicle type when you book and the price updates automatically.
