Discover the Variety of Bristol Car Transport Services Available


There are two primary methods of transport for moving cars: transported on a trailer or driven by a skilled trade plate driver. Having your vehicle chauffeured is often the most affordable option; however, it involves adding mileage to your Car and requires a valid MOT. You do not need tax or registration as it can be driven by a ‘trade plate driver’ where a special registration plate is displayed over the vehicle’s existing plates whilst being driven by a professional. Alternatively, car transport Bristol services include single car transporters that carry one Car at a time, multi-car transporters that can transport several vehicles, & covered or enclosed services for luxury or classic cars.

Bristol Car Transport Services & Overseas Shipping


For individuals looking to transport a vehicle overseas, there are car shipping companies who specialise in this & have relationships with large freight liners to transport your Car by sea. They can advise you on the required procedures & shipping documentation, and often will help you complete them. The most secure but most expensive car shipping option is via a 20ft or 40ft shipping container, although some systems can reduce costs by fitting up to 5 cars in one container. Another cheaper option is ‘roll-on / roll-off’ (‘RORO’), where your vehicle is driven directly onto the vessel & secured.


Prepare Your Car for Car Transport in Bristol


Once you have accepted a quote for your car delivery & agreed your dates, we recommend you prepare your Car ready for transport. Ensure you have all necessary documents to hand, especially if you are distance-selling. Remove accessories & valuables from the vehicle as these are unlikely to be insured by your chosen Bristol car transport firm. Make notes of the vehicle's performance prior to transport, & ensure fluid & fuel levels are adequate if the vehicle will be driven during the delivery. Cleaning your vehicle will help avoid damage caused by dirt rubbing the paintwork & it will allow you to more easily notice any scratches or scrapes that occur during the vehicle delivery.

Who Will Carry Out My Delivery?

Whoever you choose! There are thousands of rated transport providers from Bristol 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 listings receive at least 3 quotes, so you are very likely to find a transport provider who services Bristol 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 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 either within Bristol or outside the area, 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.
