The same drivers, the same cover and the same proof, whether you run a forecourt or have just bought your next car from one.

Keep stock moving without losing staff to the road

Dealers, auction buyers, fleets and leasing companies send us the registration and both postcodes. We collect on our plates and deliver to the next site or straight to your customer.

  • Auction lots collected as soon as they are released
  • Site transfers and retail handovers to your customer's door
  • Lease returns and fleet moves with condition recorded first

Bought from the trade? We bring it home for you

Found the right car or van a long way from home? We collect it from the dealer, auction or trade seller and drive it to your driveway, so you never lose a day fetching it.

  • Driven to your door, never loaded onto a transporter
  • Photos at collection and a signature when it arrives
  • It just needs a valid MOT

How it works

From your quote to a signed handover

Four steps, every one booked and tracked in our own system.

  1. 1

    Get your price

    Enter the registration, both postcodes and your dates. Your price appears straight away.

  2. 2

    We book it in

    The office confirms the dates, checks any release details and arranges contacts at both ends.

  3. 3

    We collect

    One of our own drivers records the vehicle, checks the keys and paperwork, then drives it on our plates.

  4. 4

    Signed and delivered

    The vehicle is signed for at the door and your proof report lands in your inbox.

Proof on every job

A report you can forward, every single time

Every movement closes with a proof of collection and delivery report in your inbox. If a customer or an auction house ever asks, the photos, the condition and the signature are ready to send.

  1. Photographed before it moves

    Condition, keys and paperwork are checked and recorded at collection.

  2. Signed for on arrival

    The person receiving the vehicle signs for it at the delivery address.

  3. In your inbox when it closes

    Proof of collection and delivery arrive together as one report you can forward.

Questions

Before you book

Straight answers on timing, cover and the vehicles we move.

How quickly can you collect?

Put the date you need on the Instant Quote and the office will confirm the collection window before anything is booked. If it is urgent, call 0141 459 1302 and we will tell you straight away what we can do.

Is my vehicle insured while you have it?

Yes. Every vehicle is covered by our motor trade road risk insurance while it is driven on our trade plates, from the moment we collect it until it is signed for at the other end.

Can a private buyer book a delivery?

Yes, when the car or van comes from the trade. If you have bought a roadworthy vehicle with a valid MOT from a dealer, an auction or a trade seller, we collect it and drive it to your door. Choose Individual when you ask for your quote.

Is there anything you will not move?

We only move vehicles that can legally be driven. That rules out anything without a valid MOT, non runners, salvage and auction lots that have not been released. If a job is not right for trade plates, we will tell you before anything is booked.
