Types of Car Transport Services


There are two main methods of transport for moving cars: transported on a trailer or driven by a professional trade plate driver. Having your vehicle driven is often the cheapest 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 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.

With trailered Car transporting 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 a time, which keeps Car transport costs down & 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 & kept unseen.


Car Transport Cost Per Mile


The cost of Car transport per mile can vary depending on the type of vehicle being moved, the mode of transport & distance transported. On Shiply, you can expect an average charge per mile of £0.95/mile if the transport is more than 50 miles. For shorter Car delivery requirements under 50 miles, the average prices will be nearer £2/mile.

Prepare Your Car for Transport


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


Documents: Make sure you have all your paperwork to hand, 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. Make sure 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.

Check Car Condition & Leave Feedback

Vital signs: Check that all important functions are as you left them: Lights, engine, brakes & any special functions unique to your Car. 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.

When Will I Receive A Quote?

You will typically start to receive quotes within 30 minutes.

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.

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 Hitchin, Hertfordshire 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 Hitchin, Hertfordshire 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.
