Car Transport Paisley - Factors Affecting Costs


The cost of car transport services can vary based on the type of vehicle being moved, the transportation method, and the distance involved. On Shiply, you can expect an average charge of £0.95 per mile for long-distance car delivery requirements exceeding 50 miles. For shorter distances under 50 miles, the average prices will be closer to £2 per mile.


Types of Car Transport Services in Renfrewshire


There are two primary methods for transporting cars within and around Paisley: utilising a trailer or employing a professional trade plate driver. Having your vehicle driven by a trade plate driver is often the most cost-effective option; however, this involves adding mileage to your car and requires a valid MOT. Your vehicle doesn't require tax or registration, as a special 'trade plate' registration plate is fitted over the existing plates while being driven by a professional.

Paisley Car Transport - Trailered Services


In terms of trailered car transporting, there are several options available. Single car transporters typically carry one vehicle at a time and tend to be more expensive. Multi-car transporters can transport several cars simultaneously, reducing car transportation costs and making this option suitable for vehicles that aren't running, are unroadworthy, or unregistered.


If transporting a luxury or classic car in Paisley, you may prefer a covered or enclosed service. This option is considered the safest, as the car is shielded from the elements and remains unseen. However, this type of service often costs more, as the trailers typically carry only one or two cars at a time.

International Car Transport from Paisley


For car export from Renfrewshire, there are car shipping companies specialising in international transportation. These companies have established relationships with freight liners to transport your car by sea. They can guide you through the required procedures and shipping documentation, assisting with completion when necessary.


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


Prepare Your Car for Transport in Paisley


After accepting a quote for your car delivery and agreeing on dates, it's essential to prepare your car for transport.


Ensure you have all necessary paperwork readily available, especially for distance-selling transactions. Remove accessories and valuables from the vehicle, as these items are unlikely to be insured.


Document the vehicle's condition and performance prior to transport. Check that fluid and fuel levels are adequate if the vehicle will be driven during delivery.


Cleaning your vehicle before transport can prevent damage caused by dirt and make it easier to identify any scratches or damage incurred during delivery.


Taking photographs before your vehicle is transported is a great way to prove any damage occurred during transport.

Essential functions: Ensure all vital functions, such as lights, engine, brakes, and any unique features, are working as they were before transport.


Mileage: Compare the current mileage to the expected distance travelled. If there's a discrepancy, raise this with the transporter.

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?

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

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.
