When a car needs a truck instead
A transporter is a loaded truck. Use it for a non-runner, salvage, or several cars going the same way as one load. Use plates for one roadworthy car with a valid MOT.
If it cannot legally be driven, we will say so. We will not put plates on it.

How car transport works
A driver, not a loaded transporter
For a single roadworthy car, a trade plate driver is usually the fit: one collection, one delivery, no wait for a lorry to fill. The car needs a valid MOT and has to be drivable. A transporter is the right call when it cannot legally be driven, or when several cars are going the same way as one load.
Presentation matters at the door
For a retail delivery, our driver is the first person the customer meets. They arrive presentable, walk the customer round the car and hand over keys and documents properly rather than leaving them on the seat.
Panel-by-panel photographs
Every panel is photographed at collection and again at delivery, with the mileage reading and appraisal notes recorded against that specific vehicle. Digital proof of collection and delivery provided.

What are trade plate vehicle movements?
Trade plate vehicle movements are a driver moving a roadworthy car on trade plates from one address to another. That is trade plate car transport. Valid MOT, digital proof of collection and proof of delivery. It is not a transporter.
Is this a car transporter?
No. OVM is not a transporter. A transporter is a loaded truck. We drive one roadworthy car on plates. Non-runners and salvage need a transporter. We will say so.
Does the car need a valid MOT?
Yes. Valid MOT and drivable only. If it cannot legally be driven, a transporter is the right tool and we will say so.
Do you move a single car?
Yes. One roadworthy car is the usual job. There is no wait for a lorry to fill. That is why a trade plate driver often beats a transporter on a single car.
