Car transport is a driven vehicle movement

Our car transport is one roadworthy car driven on trade plates, exactly the same service as our trade plate vehicle movements.

Moving a van? We have a separate van service that takes height and weight into account.

When a car needs a transporter instead

A transporter is the better choice for a non runner, salvage or several cars travelling together as one load. For one roadworthy car with a valid MOT, a trade plate driver is usually quicker.

If the car cannot legally be driven, we will tell you up front rather than 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 quicker and simpler option. There is one collection, one delivery and no wait for a lorry to fill. The car needs a valid MOT and must be legal to drive. If it is not, or you have several cars heading the same way as one load, a transporter makes more sense.

First impressions at the customer's door

On a retail delivery our driver is the first person your customer meets. They arrive smartly presented, walk the customer round the car and hand over the keys and documents properly instead of leaving them on the seat.

Every panel photographed

Every panel is photographed at collection and again at delivery, with the mileage reading and appraisal notes recorded against that car. You receive digital proof of collection and delivery.

What are trade plate vehicle movements?

They are one of our drivers moving a roadworthy car on trade plates from one address to another, which is exactly what our car transport is. The car needs a valid MOT, and you receive digital proof of collection and delivery.

Is this a car transporter?

No. We drive one roadworthy car on our trade plates instead of loading it onto a truck, so non runners and salvage need a transporter and we will tell you if yours does.

Does the car need a valid MOT?

Yes. The car needs a valid MOT and must be legal to drive, otherwise a transporter is the better option.

Do you move a single car?

Yes, one roadworthy car is our most common job. There is no wait for a lorry to fill, which is why a trade plate driver often beats a transporter for a single car.
