Gotta have some form of trust. I left a £500 deposit on my car, I had his address, name, the car details.

You know where he lives.

Standard practice as said though.

I'd fear too much for my windows & prestige driveway to rip someone off for a couple hundred quid when they know where I live!!

As said get him to write a reciept, one for deposit, another for collection. Or write something up yourself & take it with you which you both sign.
