Types of Car Transport Services in Durham
There are two primary methods of transport for moving cars in Durham: transported on a trailer or driven by a professional trade plate driver. Having your vehicle driven is often the most cost-effective method; however, it involves adding mileage to your Car and requires a valid MOT. The car does not need tax or registration, as it can be driven by a 'trade plate driver' with a special registration plate displayed over the vehicle's existing plates while being driven by a professional.
With trailered Car transport Durham services, there are several options. Single Car transporters carry one Car at a time, so tend to be more expensive. Multi-Car transporters can transport several vehicles at once, which keeps Car transportation costs down and is useful if your Car is not running, is not roadworthy, or not legal.
If moving a luxury or classic Car, you may prefer a covered or enclosed service. This service is the safest, as the Car is protected from the elements and kept unseen. Transporting classic cars can cost more, as these trailers tend to only carry one or two cars at once.
If moving a vehicle overseas, there are Car shipping companies that specialize in this and have relationships with large freight liners to transport your Car by sea. They can advise you on the required procedures and 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 and secured.
Regardless of how your Car is transported, we recommend verifying the transporter's insurance level is adequate for the vehicle's value. You should also check your personal Car insurance policy to ensure your Car is insured while being moved by a third party.
