Five cars is five jobs or a truck 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. OVM Ltd, Companies House SC834621.

Registration and both postcodes is usually enough to price it. Jump to the form ## One registration is the booking OVM books one roadworthy unit at a time. One collection postcode. One delivery postcode. One driver. That is [Trade Plate Vehicle Movements](https://ovmtransport.com/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. ## A list of five is not one driver 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. ## When that list is actually a truck 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](https://ovmtransport.com/trade-plate-delivery-vs-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. ## Quote each unit, or say they cannot 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.

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. Is a list of registrations one booking? 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. What if none of them can be driven? 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. Does a van on the same list count as the same job as the cars? 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. ## Other posts [All posts](https://ovmtransport.com/blog) [Dealers ### Vehicle movements for dealers, on trade plates Dealers search vehicle movements when something is in the wrong place. A sold car at the other roof. A part-ex still on a customer's drive. A lot paid for, still on a compound. A van the LCV team promised for Monday. The phrase is generic. The job is not.

Read the post](https://ovmtransport.com/blog/what-is-trade-plate-delivery)[Booking ### How to book a trade plate vehicle movement A quote is not a booking. A booking is not a driver already on the way. Dealers lose a morning because they treated the form as a shout into a void, then rang at noon asking where the car was. OVM books one roadworthy car or van on trade plates. Registration, both postcodes and a date. Notes so the office does not have to guess the job. Read the post](https://ovmtransport.com/blog/how-to-book-trade-plate-vehicle-movements)[Explainer ### Trade plate delivery and collection and delivery are the same driven job Dealers type trade plate delivery. Controllers type collection and delivery. Auction buyers type vehicle movements. Three searches. One product, if the product is OVM: a driver in a roadworthy car or van, on our plates, from the address it sits to the address that has to receive it.
