Cambridgeshire Vehicle Transport


Cambridgeshire, UK is a storied county situated in the East of England. Many individuals frequently transfer cars to & from Cambridgeshire for various purposes. Whether it's for personal relocation, purchasing or selling an automobile, or even for business objectives, car transport services are in high demand in this locale. With its picturesque countryside, lively cities like Cambridge, & superb transport connections, Cambridgeshire is an appealing destination for many.


Varieties of Vehicle Transport Services


There are two primary methods of transport for transferring cars: transported on a trailer or operated by a professional trade plate driver. Having your vehicle driven is often the most economical method; however, it involves adding mileage to your car & requires a valid MOT. The car does not need tax or registration as it can be operated by a 'trade plate driver' where a special registration plate is displayed over the vehicle's existing plates whilst being driven by a professional.


With trailered car transporting, there are several choices. Single car transporters carry one automobile at a time, so tend to be more costly. Multi-car transporters can transport several vehicles simultaneously, which keeps car transportation costs down & is useful if your car is not running, is not roadworthy, or not legal. If transferring a luxury or classic car, you may prefer a covered or enclosed service. This service is the safest as the car is shielded from the elements & kept unseen. Transporting classic cars can cost more as these trailers tend to only carry one or two automobiles at once.


If transferring a vehicle overseas, there are car shipping companies who specialize in this & have relationships with large freight liners to transport your car by sea. They can advise you on the required procedures & shipping documentation, & often will assist you in completing 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. Regardless of how your car is transported, we recommend you verify the transporter's insurance level is adequate for the vehicle's value. You should also check your personal car insurance policy to ensure that your car is insured while being moved by a 3rd party.


Ready Your Car for Transport


Once you have accepted a quote for your car delivery & agreed upon your dates, we recommend you prepare your car ready for transport:


Documents: Ensure you have all your paperwork handy, especially if you are distance-selling. Clearing: Remove accessories & valuables from the vehicle as these are unlikely to be insured. Secure or remove anything that could come loose during transit. Running condition: Make notes of the vehicle's performance prior to transport. This will allow you to spot any changes when the move is completed. Ensure fluid & fuel levels are adequate if the vehicle will be driven during the delivery. Cleaning: 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. Evidence: Taking photographs before your vehicle is transported is a great way to prove any damage was incurred during transport.


Many companies on Shiply have extensive experience & have transported thousands of cars, & your chosen transport firm will be available to assist you with any queries or concerns.


Verify Car Condition & Provide Feedback


Once your vehicle has reached its destination, you should check:


Vital signs: Verify that all important functions are as you left them: Lights, engine, brakes, & any special functions unique to your vehicle. If you bought your vehicle online or from a car dealership, then check that everything is as described. Mileage: Has the car travelled the expected distance? If not, raise this with the transporter. Paint: Check for damage against photos taken before transportation.


Shiply is built on trust with company profile pages available to browse when selecting a car transporter. When your car delivery is complete, remember to provide feedback on your chosen company's profile page. This helps future users of the site make the optimal decision when arranging their car transport.

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?

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.
