The cost of Car transport per mile varies depending on the type of vehicle, mode of transport, and distance. On Shiply, you can expect an average charge of £0.95 per mile for transports over 50 miles, while shorter distances under 50 miles may cost around £2 per mile.


Types of Car Transport Services


There are two primary methods of transport for moving cars: driving with a professional trade plate driver or using a trailer. Having your vehicle driven is often the most cost-effective option, but it involves adding mileage to your car and requires a valid MOT. The car does not need tax or registration, as a special registration plate is displayed over the existing plates while being driven by a professional. Trailered car transport offers several options, including single car transporters and multi-car transporters. If you're moving a luxury or classic car, you may prefer a covered or enclosed service, which provides the safest transport option. However, this service may cost more, as these trailers typically carry only one or two cars at a time.

Cheltenham Car Transport - Preparing Your Vehicle for Transport


Once you have accepted a quote for your car delivery and agreed on the dates, we recommend preparing your car for transport. Ensure you have all necessary paperwork, especially if you're distance-selling. Remove any accessories and valuables from the vehicle, as they may not be insured during transport. Secure or remove any loose items that could come loose during transit. Take note of your vehicle's performance before transport to identify any changes upon delivery. Make sure fluid and fuel levels are adequate if the vehicle will be driven during delivery. Cleaning your vehicle beforehand can help prevent damage caused by dirt rubbing against the paintwork and allow you to more easily notice any scratches or scrapes that occur during transport.
