Booking
A trade plate movement is one registration. One roadworthy car or van, one driver, one booking. Dealers sometimes send a list of five and expect one person. That is a transporter load, or five separate driven jobs. Instant quote on this page or call 0141 459 1302.

0141 459 1302Our own software
Every job is booked, tracked and closed in software we built for the motor trade.
Always driven
Moved under trade plates by a driver, never loaded onto a transporter.
Fully insured
Motor trade road risk while the vehicle is driven on our plates.
POC and POD on every job
Digital proof of collection and delivery provided when the vehicle is handed over.
OVM books one roadworthy unit at a time. One collection postcode. One delivery postcode. One driver. That is Trade Plate Vehicle Movements. Valid MOT. Digital proof of collection and delivery provided. Not a transporter.
A van is still one unit if it is legal to drive. It is not a second car hiding in the same job. Height and weight go on that quote. They do not fold five hatchbacks into the same afternoon because you used one email.
Five registrations on a spreadsheet is five bookings, or it is a loaded truck. A trade plate driver has two hands and one set of plates. They cannot close five cars inside one handover. That would be five records, five PDFs, five lots of keys.
If they are going the same way and they can all be driven, we can plan them as separate driven jobs. The office will say if that is even possible on the date you want. It is still not one booking.
If they are going the same way and none of them can be driven, say so. That is a transporter load. It is not our product. We will tell you that rather than pretend plates will move a deck.
The honest split is on when a trade plate driver beats a transporter. Use plates for one legal car or van that has to leave without waiting for a deck. Use a truck for volume on a flexible date, or for anything that cannot legally be driven.
Instant quote: one registration per form, or put the list in the notes and we will tell you it is several jobs. Both postcodes. Date. Call 0141 459 1302 if you already know it is a deck.
No account needed. Most quotes come back within the hour during working hours. Fuel is charged separately. There is no rate card and no pound-per-mile guess on this page.
Do not send five and hope we pick a driver who owns a trailer. We do not.
In practice
Five cars is five driven jobs if they are legal, or a loaded transporter if they are not. It is not one driver with a list.
No. One registration per booking. Five cars is five driven jobs, or a transporter if they travel as one load. Instant quote on this page or call 0141 459 1302.
No. A list is several jobs, or it is a truck. Put one registration on the quote, or say in the notes that you have several units and we will tell you which product it actually is.
Then it is not our product. Say so. A transporter is the tool. We will tell you that rather than take five failed collections on plates.
No. A van is still one registration. Quote it as the van it is. Height and weight belong on that job, not on the hatchback next to it.
Send the registration and both postcodes. Five units is five quotes, or a transporter. 0141 459 1302.
