About Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK
Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK is a popular destination for car owners, with many individuals relocating to and from the area. Whether you're moving for work, education, or personal reasons, you'll need a reliable car transport service to get your vehicle to its new location. Shiply can help you find the best car transport Salisbury companies, offering a range of services to suit your needs and budget.
Types of Car Transport Services
There are two primary methods for moving cars: transporting on a trailer or having a professional trade plate driver drive the vehicle. The latter option is often more affordable but involves adding mileage to your car and requires a valid MOT. The vehicle doesn't need tax or registration, as it can be driven by a 'trade plate driver' using a special registration plate displayed over the existing plates. In contrast, trailered car transport offers several options, including single car transporters that carry one vehicle at a time, which can be more expensive. Multi-car transporters can transport multiple vehicles simultaneously, keeping car transport Salisbury costs down, and are ideal if your car is not running, not roadworthy, or not legal.
Prepare Your Car for Transport
Once you've accepted a quote for your car transport and agreed on the dates, we recommend preparing your car for transport:
- Documents: Ensure you have all necessary paperwork, especially if you're distance-selling.
- Clearing: Remove accessories and valuables from the vehicle, as they are unlikely to be insured.
- Running condition: Take note of the vehicle's performance prior to transport.
- Cleaning: Cleaning your vehicle will help prevent damage caused by dirt rubbing against the paintwork.
- Evidence: Take photographs before your vehicle is transported to prove any damage incurred during transport.
Shiply is built on trust, with company profile pages available to browse when choosing a car transport Salisbury company. After your car transport is complete, remember to leave feedback on your chosen company's profile page. This helps future users make the best decision when arranging their car transport Salisbury.
Car Transport Salisbury Costs
Car transport Salisbury costs vary depending on the type of vehicle being moved, the mode of transport, and distance transported. On Shiply, you can expect an average charge per mile of £0.95/mile for distances over 50 miles. For shorter car transport requirements under 50 miles, the average prices will be closer to £2/mile.
Secure Car Shipping to Salisbury
Transporting classic cars can be more expensive, as these trailers often carry only one or two cars at a time. If moving a vehicle overseas, there are car transport Salisbury companies specializing in this service, with relationships with large freight liners to transport your car by sea. They can advise you on the required procedures and shipping documentation, often helping you complete them. The most secure but most expensive car transport Salisbury 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.
Insurance for Car Transport Salisbury
Regardless of how your car is transported, we recommend verifying the transporter's insurance level is adequate for the vehicle's value. You should also check your personal car insurance policy to ensure your car is insured while being moved by a third party.

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.
