| Full valet, estate or SUV | £80 to £120 |
What changes the price for car washing & valeting
- Level of clean. An exterior wash and dry is under an hour. A full valet inside and out is half a day on a neglected car.
- Vehicle size. A small hatchback is the base price. Estates, SUVs and seven-seaters cost more because there is more of everything.
- Condition inside. Pet hair, sand and stained seats are the usual reasons a quote goes up on the day.
- Water and power on site. Some mobile valeters need your outside tap and a socket. Others carry their own tank and generator, which can cost a little more.
What is usually included
- Exterior wash, wheels and glass
- Interior vacuum and wipe-down on a valet
- Own products and equipment
And what is usually not
- Seat and carpet shampoo, unless booked
- Machine polishing, paint correction or ceramic coating
- Removing tar, tree sap or overspray
- Engine bay cleaning
The one thing that saves the most money
Clear the boot, door pockets and child seats out before the valeter arrives. Time spent emptying the car is time you pay for, and it is the easiest saving on the job.

What makes car washing & valeting more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
