Types of Car Transport Services


There are mainly two methods of transporting cars: using a trailer or having a professional trade plate driver take the wheel. Having your vehicle driven is often the cheapest method; however, it may involve adding mileage to your car & requires a valid MOT. The car doesn't need tax or registration, as it can be driven by a 'trade plate driver' with a special registration plate displayed over the vehicle's existing plates. Trailered car transporting offers several options. Single car transporters carry one car at a time & tend to be more expensive. Multi-car transporters can transport several vehicles at once, which keeps car transportation costs down & is useful if your car is not running, roadworthy, or not legally compliant.

If you're 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. Transporting classic cars can cost more, as these trailers tend to only carry one or two cars at a time. If moving a vehicle overseas, there are car shipping companies that specialise in this & have relationships with large freight liners to transport your car by sea. They can advise you on the required procedures & shipping documentation & often help you complete them.

Make notes of your vehicle's performance before transport, & check fluid & fuel levels if it will be driven during the delivery. Cleaning your vehicle will help avoid damage caused by dirt rubbing the paintwork, & it will allow you to easily notice any scratches or scrapes that occur during the vehicle delivery. Taking photographs before your vehicle is transported is a great way to prove any damage incurred during transport.

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?

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

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.
