There is no motorway into Canterbury, so movements run on the A2, A28, A257, A290 and A291. This is the sort of job where sending a driver makes far more sense than waiting for a transporter to fill up, because a single vehicle is not worth a lorry's time.
Because a one-way delivery leaves the driver to get home again, rail access shapes how quickly we can turn a job round. Canterbury is well served, with Bekesbourne, Canterbury East, Canterbury West and Chartham all within reach, so we can move a driver in and out without tying up a second vehicle.
If you buy at auction, the closest compounds to Canterbury are Wilsons Auctions Maidstone and BCA Paddock Wood. We check the release details and the gate procedure before sending anyone, so your car is not sat waiting on paperwork while the storage clock runs.
We also collect and deliver in Margate, Folkestone, Ramsgate, Herne Bay and Whitstable.

Yes. A driver working Canterbury also covers Whitstable, Herne Bay, Faversham, Ashford and Folkestone. Collection and delivery can be at either end of the same job.
How quickly can you get a driver to Canterbury?
