Car Transport Lincolnshire: Economical & Dependable Vehicle Delivery Options


Reasons Individuals Frequently Relocate Vehicles to & from Lincolnshire, UK


Lincolnshire, a charming region in England's East Midlands, draws numerous people who move for various motives. Some relocate to Lincolnshire for its serene rural way of life, while others are enticed by employment prospects or familial connections. When relocating to or from Lincolnshire, individuals often require vehicle transportation services, which is where dependable car shipping solutions become essential.

Numerous transport firms on Shiply have successfully completed thousands of deliveries. Each delivery quote is accompanied by the transport provider's feedback profile, allowing you to peruse customer ratings & reviews to assess the caliber of their service.


Comprehending Car Shipping Costs per Mile


The cost per mile for car shipping varies based on factors such as the type of vehicle being transported, the mode of transport, & the distance covered. On Shiply, for shipping distances exceeding 50 miles, the average charge per mile is roughly £0.95. For shorter car delivery requirements under 50 miles, the average prices tend to be closer to £2 per mile.


Investigating Different Types of Car Shipping Services


When it comes to relocating cars, there are two primary methods: transporting the vehicle on a trailer or having it driven by a professional trade plate driver. While having your car driven is often the most economical option, it does add mileage to your vehicle & requires a valid MOT. However, the car does not need to be taxed or registered, as it can be driven by a 'trade plate driver' who displays a special registration plate over the vehicle's existing plates during transport.


If you choose trailered car shipping, there are several options available. Single car transporters carry one vehicle at a time, making them more costly. Multi-car transporters, on the other hand, can move multiple vehicles simultaneously, keeping transportation costs down. This is especially beneficial if your car is not running, roadworthy, or legal.


For those relocating a luxury or classic car, a covered or enclosed service may be preferable. This is the safest option, as it shields the vehicle from the elements & keeps it out of sight. However, transporting classic cars can be more expensive, as these trailers typically only carry one or two vehicles at a time.


When relocating a vehicle overseas, specialized car shipping companies can assist you. These firms have established relationships with large freight liners to transport your car by sea. They can provide guidance on the necessary procedures & shipping documentation, often helping you complete them as well.


The most secure but costly car shipping option is via a 20ft or 40ft shipping container. Some systems can reduce costs by fitting up to five cars in one container. A more affordable alternative is 'roll-on / roll-off' ('RORO'), where your vehicle is driven directly onto the vessel & secured.


Regardless of the transportation method selected, it's crucial to verify that the transporter's insurance coverage is sufficient for your vehicle's value. Additionally, review your personal car insurance policy to ensure your vehicle is covered while being transported by a third party.


Readying Your Car for Shipping


Once you've accepted a quote for your car delivery & agreed upon the dates, it's essential to ready your vehicle for transport:


  • Documents: Ensure you have all the necessary paperwork readily available, especially if you're distance-selling.

  • Clearing: Remove any accessories & valuables from the vehicle, as they may not be insured. Secure or remove anything that could come loose during transit.

  • Running condition: Make notes of the vehicle's performance before transport. This will help you identify any changes once the move is completed. If the vehicle will be driven during delivery, ensure fluid & fuel levels are adequate.

  • Cleaning: Clean your vehicle to prevent damage caused by dirt rubbing against the paintwork. This will also make it easier to spot any scratches or scrapes that may occur during transport.

  • Evidence: Take photographs of your vehicle before transportation. This serves as proof of any damage incurred during the move.

Many companies on Shiply have extensive experience & have transported thousands of cars. Your chosen transport provider will be available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.


Inspecting Car Condition & Providing Feedback


Upon your vehicle's arrival at its destination, be sure to inspect the following:


  • Vital signs: Verify that all essential functions are as you left them, including lights, engine, brakes, & any special features unique to your vehicle. If you purchased your vehicle online or from a car dealership, ensure everything is as described.

  • Mileage: Check if the car has traveled the expected distance. If not, address this with the transporter.

  • Paint: Inspect for any damage by comparing the vehicle's condition to the photos taken before transportation.

Shiply is built on trust, with company profile pages available for browsing when selecting a car transporter. Once your car delivery is completed, don't forget to provide feedback on your chosen company's profile page. This helps future users of the site make informed decisions when arranging their own car transport.

Does Shiply Provide Packing Materials?

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.

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.
