How trade plate drivers works
Insured on every job
Our drivers work under motor trade road risk insurance whenever a vehicle is on our plates. That cover is in place on every job, not arranged booking by booking.
They handle the paperwork
The driver records the appraisal, photographs, mileage reading and signature on the device, so your team has nothing to chase afterwards.
Back by train
After a one way delivery the driver travels home by train. We plan that return when the job is booked, so it never ties up a second vehicle or delays the handover. We move roadworthy cars and vans with a valid MOT, and a transporter remains the answer for anything that cannot legally be driven.
The process
How a job runs
From the quote to the proof of delivery, every step is booked and tracked in our own system.
Send the details
Give us the registration, both postcodes and your dates, and your price appears straight away.
We book it in
We confirm the release details, plan the route and arrange contacts at both ends.
Driver collects
Our driver records proof of collection before the vehicle moves, then drives it on our trade plates, fully insured.
Proof of delivery
The receiver signs on handover and the full proof of collection and delivery report arrives by email.

0141 459 1302What are trade plate drivers?
A trade plate driver collects a roadworthy car or van and drives it door to door on trade plates. OVM is a trade plate driver company working across Scotland, England and Wales, with digital proof of collection and delivery on every job.
Do you have a trade plate driver near me?
Yes, wherever you are in Scotland, England or Wales. Send us both postcodes and we will quote your exact job from our office at 48 West George Street, Glasgow G2 1BP.
Can I apply to drive for OVM here?
No, this service is for booking a vehicle movement. If you would like to drive for OVM, please use our drive for us page.
Does the vehicle need a valid MOT?
Yes. It needs a valid MOT and must be legal to drive, and we will recommend a transporter if it is not.
How do I get a quote?
Use the instant quote online or call 0141 459 1302. The registration, both postcodes and your dates are all we need.
What do you need to quote a job?
Just the registration, the collection and delivery postcodes and roughly when it needs to move. Named contacts at both ends help us avoid a wasted trip, and the price shows on screen straight away.
What does the price depend on?
It depends on the vehicle, the distance, how soon you need it moved and what has to happen at each end. A dealer to dealer transfer prices differently from a retail handover with paperwork to complete, so we quote every job individually rather than from a rate card.
Is the vehicle insured while you have it?
Yes. Every vehicle we move is covered by motor trade road risk insurance from the moment we collect it until it is signed for.
What proof do I get that the job was done properly?
You get photographs of every panel, the mileage reading, condition notes and a signature. Proof of collection and proof of delivery arrive together as one report by email when the vehicle is handed over.
Can you move a vehicle that is not roadworthy?
No. Every job is driven, so the vehicle has to be roadworthy, taxed and legal for the road. If it is not, a transporter is the better option and we will tell you so before anyone is sent.
