Classic Car Transport

Classic cars are more than just a vehicle to their owners. They can take years of hard work and lots of money to restore to perfect condition. As such, they hold a lot of sentimental value, which is why it is essential to carefully select a company that specializes in the transport of classic cars in order to ensure your vehicle is transported safely and arrives in its perfect condition.

Finding companies online can take a few clicks and there are plenty out there. However, it can be hard to measure the reliability of any company. Word of mouth and personal recommendations can help, as well as advice from collectors and restorers of classic vehicles. With Shiply, you can compare hundreds of transport companies to find the one that is most suitable to your needs.

How do I decide?

- Experience is key: A carrier who is experienced with classic cars will know how to handle yours. They understand to treat it carefully and know how to ensure it does not get damaged. They may also have specialist equipment to handle the job.

- Transportation type: While rail transport of multi-car carriers may offer the best prices, enclosed transport is the safest method. This greatly reduces the risk of damage from weather or rock chippings.

- Insurance: As with any vehicle move, it is essential that the coverage of the company fully covers the value of your vehicle.

- Cost: Choosing the cheapest transport quotes is not always the best option. For classic cars; experience and enclosed transport are going to cost more, but in order to ensure the safety of your vehicle it is worth spending a little extra.

Who Will Carry Out My Delivery?

Whoever you choose! There are thousands of rated transport providers on our platform ready to make a bid to carry out your delivery. It is up to you to decide which quote to accept.

When Will I Receive A Quote?

You will typically start to receive quotes within 30 minutes. If you are worried about the lack of quotes, try adding some more detail to your listing as transport providers may be unsure of dimensions or weight and feel unable to provide an accurate quote. If your delivery is urgent, you can try our 'featured delivery' feature which moves your listing to the top of the search page for couriers.

How Many Quotes Will I Receive?

Whilst there is no guarantee of quotes, 98% of our listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are likely to find someone who can undertake the delivery of your items.

Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?

If your item requires packing materials or extra care then you should make sure this is highlighted in your listing and discussed with any transport provider whose quote you are considering. Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.

Can I Travel With My Goods?

The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and to highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.

What If I Need To Cancel My Booking?

If you have accepted a quote and paid the deposit but wish to cancel the delivery, then you should first inform your chosen transport provider that you no longer require the delivery. You should then contact us at to have your deposit refunded.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

If you have not yet accepted a quote then you are able to change the address of your listing. Note that editing details of your listing after publishing will result in active quotes being voided, so you will have to wait for new quotes to come in. If you have already accepted a quote and need to change the address, please let your transport provider know and contact us at .

Does Someone Have To Be Present For Pickup And Delivery?

In most cases, the car delivery company will require you to be in attendance for the pickup and delivery of the vehicle. This is because there are likely to be release forms that you need to sign, as well as handing over the keys for the car.

Can I Keep Items In My Vehicle?

Most car delivery companies will be fine with you keeping some personal items in the vehicle when it is transported. However, there are two important things to remember: 1. The weight of the items may affect the price of the vehicle delivery, and 2. Any items in the vehicle will not be covered by insurance for the transport of the car itself.

Can I Transport My Vehicle If It Isn't Running?

You can transport your vehicle if it isn’t in running condition, however, this will be more expensive as specialist equipment is required to load and unload the vehicle.
