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.
