Types of Car Transport Services


There are two primary 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 most cost-effective method; however, it involves adding mileage to your car and requires a valid MOT for Birkenhead car transport. 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 while being driven by a professional. With trailered car transporting, there are several options available.


Single car transporters carry one car at a time, so tend to be more expensive. Multi-car transporters can transport several vehicles simultaneously, which keeps car transportation costs down and is useful if your car is not running, 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 by third parties. 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 who 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.

Prepare Your car for Transport


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


Documents: Ensure you have all necessary paperwork, especially if you are distance-selling. Clearing: Remove accessories and 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 and 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 and 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 an excellent way to prove any damage was incurred during transport.


Many firms on Shiply have vast experience and have transported thousands of cars, and your chosen transport company will be on hand to help you with any queries or concerns about car transport in Birkenhead.


Check car Condition & Leave Feedback


Once your vehicle has reached its destination, you should check: Vital signs: Ensure that all important functions are as you left them: lights, engine, brakes, and 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.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

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.

Does Someone Have To Be Present For Pickup And Delivery?

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.
